"My Mind's a Mess"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Trouble brewing?
Seeping though the filter
Percolating
Sleeping limbs half-kilter
I'm your man
...come and get me
Catch me if you can
While I run dodging trolleys
I make a name for myself
I stand up for causes
By taking a fall
I could give a shit
To stand for anything at all
"Go ahead and kill your offspring"
When I stood for a cause I believed in
I was ridiculed and mocked
Yet didn't feel a thing
Now I stand up for what?
The right not to get lost?
I'd almost rather stand for the right to touch
Or the right to be ridiculed
For something that matters
God is so fucking weird
I forgot who was to blame
So I become the scapeGHOST
