Standing here in the middle
The feeling is off centre
Stop screaming you will hold the plank steady if you are not willing to
Because it is raining too hard for you to hear the desperation
And even on a bright day
The sun would be in your eyes
But today is not one of those days
And I can’t see the tears that maim your face
Step away
You cannot hold your balance
When the wood is so rotten
Step away
I warned you of the acid tears
That corrode the land marks
So many countries hold so dear
As a heritage
As a history
As a reminder
Stop being willing to give that up
You may not be able to puff three circles through each other
And so this restricts your control
But I’ve seen the ship exit your mouth
Complete with tiny anchors and cannons
And I know you cannot remember how to swim right now
And I can only be an ocean safe enough to float on for so long
So ignore the lack of tread on your wheels
Because the isolation you feel is worse then the car crash caused by the rain
