Cranium
By McKenzie Mills
Where I am I do not know
It's black as the night
At the same time so light
All I really know is that I am alone
The cold cruel cat
Her majesty too
When you're in her presence, up at bat
You better agree or life is blew
She's a killer, so very shrewd
Fire that I've fallen upon
It runs through, then rolls out like a baton
Hatred matching the fall ridden leaves
Horrific storms and apathetic thieves
Empathy and emotion are lost in her care
Sometimes it can come back stronger
Although truly it isn't fair
At times you proclaim, "I can't wait much longer"
A bloody blade used to kill
You aren't sure where you've gone
But it gives you a thrill
To then peer out on your lawn
Life is precious, you say to her majesty
She screams in discomfort and dismay
Only thinking of your daily activities
The ultimate goal is so far away
Oh, when will it finally be the end of the day?
Only when the crows fly
Death is the smell hitting the air
You're afraid, and you want to die
Life has left but a tear
You wake up the next day
Everything seems well
You will complete your battle again, not in your forte
For now though you're just under her spell
Oh cranium, her majesty controls you well
