what she has
she has one devil horn
and one angel wing
she has one unicorn
mane knit into a string
she has one slice of bread
and one jar of peanut butter
she has one cigarette
and one cigar cutter
she has one mermaid gill
and one bluish ring of zinc
she has one phoenix quill
and one vial of blue-blood ink
she has one bar of soap
and one surgeon's snare
she has one ray of hope
and one cloud of despair
she has one sod of peat
with the footprint of a boot on
she has one tiny sheet
from a swedish faerie's futon
she has one small wooden casket
where all of these reside
she has one unending task it
is to never look inside

just writing this scared me
i've never spoken most of what i feel
because i'm terrified of brain drugs
i've learnt to fake an evenness of keel
because i'm terrified of brain drugs
my gp's on a uni campus 200 miles away
and i've not been there since registration day
because i'm terrified of brain drugs
although there's stigma i am not ashamed
i'm just terrified of brain drugs
i'm not protecting someone who i blame
i'm just terrified of brain drugs
there are people i love too much to want to see distressed
but that's not the the reason there's so much i can't confess
i'm just terrified of brain drugs
i don't know how much brain they might adjust
that's why i'm terrified of brain drugs
i couldn't muster that level of trust
that's why i'm terrified of brain drugs
i wouldn't part with the hardest of the feelings that i feel
if i had to trade the certainty that who i am is real
that's why i'm terrified of brain drugs

games
games
quit playing games with my heart
it doesn't understand the rules
and when you explain them
you keep leaving out important aspects
until you need them to win
quit playing games with my heart
it's neither round enough
nor robust enough
to be a suitable ball substitute
quit playing games with my heart
it isn't square enough to be a die
nor small enough to be a counter
nor flat enough to be the board
quit playing games with my heart
or if not
at least let it win occasionally
as requested by @debsa
