Dark Me

Do you like the way I look?
It's only temporary,
Do you like the way I speak?
It's only temporary,
What do you want?
Is it what you need?
What do you love?
Is it your own greed?
What is the purpose,
You are looking for?
What does it do to you?
The opening of the door,
Does the light make you blink,
When you turn around?

Far From Reach

Do I look like a psychotic?
Good!
If you were me for awhile,
You would! 
That's okay it keeps the dogs at bay,
I know how I feel at the time,
That door can open at any moment,
Without even a warning sign, 
Up for days now,
Why do you think I look so scary,
Moving at the speed of light,
Sometimes things do get harry, 
But I'm okay, I know,
Under control at all times,
Got my senses about me,
I don't commit no crimes, 
Do I look like a psychotic,
Look at yourself first,
If you were me for awhile,
By now you would have burst, 
Do you think you can see?
The madness that I've seen,
Think before you give a diagnosis,
Are you a fucking MD? 
No!, I don’t think so,
Your playing God with me,
You can't judge a book by it's cover,
My inner mind is far from reach.
