Stranger Days (Unplugged)

Textbook case insane imprisoned

In my desolate brain

The colors bleed

But the writing remains

True to my dismay

I melt at just your thought so afraid to

Blink or sleep it off

Whatever comes inside the dark

Would never come close if I forgot

Raining stranger days

Blue gives into all your ways

Like a painting by Dali

I’ve fallen for you madly

Wearing the face of silent contentment

Inside my conscience screams

So desperately holding on to my pride

Trying to let it be

Washed away the ghosts who haunt me

Making my heart come clean

I was never one to admit my struggles

I’m too conditioned to its sting

Raining stranger days

Wash these broken tears away

Like a knockout from Ali

You take the breath from me

Fall to my knees

Raining stranger days

Blue Jean sings your name in praise

Like confessions from Bowie

You’re my poetry
