Crawly
by Ben Mattson
 
Festering maggots in my rotting brain 
All is lost to the insane 
This is completely inane 
As my brain screams out in pain 
Let me have another moment to explain 

I'm crying in the sunshine and 
laughing in the rain 
For ever-more I shall feel no pain 
How can I make this plain? 

My my my how did I cry 
For now my eyes remain dry 
For the skies are cloudy and the rain is nearer 
In this work I don't fear that leering maggot 
Like a spatula in the center of my brain 
        it flips and flops and is never at a stop 

Don't get scared at this bad mess 
For It can no-longer dress 
But I know what is best for me you see 
Because Jesus loves me this I know 
For my maggot tells me so 

So with knife in hand I form this weird plan 
But I know I mustn't think it 
For my maggot tells me so 
And off I go and where I shall stop no-one knows 
Except the maggot for it says its so 
             But I don't
