Cotton head

My head is numb

And my chest is on fire,

Well I just can't help

Feeling like I'm dying;

Just like the leaves are

Rusting and drying

Falling off their branches

Laying all together on the ground

Onto a beautiful carpet of sad colours.

Waiting for a step so they can make a sound:

The noise of their bodies being crushed.

We do not talk to the dead

Darkness begins to set over September 

And moody flowers are in bloom.

Nights are colder and we remember 

That spooky season is almost upon us as

Skeletons are trembling in the closets

And ghosts are emerging from their graves.


So sage your home and charge your crystals 

Under the light of a full moon.

Place some salt in the corners of your room,

Burn some incense and cleanse your decks, 

Light some candles for your spells 

To rid yourself of uninvited guests.

My closest friends

Today I'm feeling lonely.

'Least I got anxiety to hold me.

It's always been there for me,

I call it instinct but it's mostly fear 

Of a future that will never happen. 

The monsters in my head 

Have always been scarier 

Than the ones under my bed.


Then there's depression,

Sitting on my shoulders

Like a heavy mantle 

Of doom and gloom,

Ruining my posture.

Or like an itchy woven blanket 

Laying on my naked body 

On a sweaty summer day.
