There’s been malfeasance
That disconcerting cesspool
Pay no mind to my odd behavior
Isn’t a worm still just a worm
I know that the saccharine child has been stashed away
Never to be seen again
The faces, the voices
Confined, lost, inaccessible
It could be my manic episode
That’s all it would take
Out of mind
Out of control
Then nothing
