Maladaptive Behavior

about

Creation through complete alienation

Up in a castle fortress, remaining in seclusion

A child forever plays pretend in an imaginary realm

Crippled by the laws of reality

Causality's cruel indifference

& ugly people everywhere

Ugly in every way


Peter Pan/Pied Piper Motherfucker finally dead

Buried in an unmarked grave

Leaving those above him to rot

Solace in carnage


Doors of the Past locked, but no need to see beyond them

Their decaying & splintered wood lavish me with putrid dreams

Beautiful delusions accentuate foul memories

Blistering distortion in perfect clarity

Alone; a child playing pretend


Grandiose pity party

Without recollection

Being told that you must do the right thing

By your superior; for your superior

With their mind at peace

Alone; a child playing pretend


The bliss of the murky blue dawn awaits

As I put my toys & idols down

A dream dies brighter than that morning sun

Doing the right thing

A proper burial
