Apples & Worms
Ardin Patterson, Sept. 1st, 2020.
I once cut my arm
Just so I could breath
Cause my lungs were filled right up
With something heavy
And it made me sick
I thought I might throw up
I didn’t but I wish I had
I didn’t but I wish I never lied
I didn’t but I wish I had
I didn’t but I wish I wouldn’t smile.
Dodo, dododo, laladi, dada (x2)
I wrote it in my own blood
The letters of my name
Cause my reflection was all screwed up
I didn’t look the same.
Inside me rose a panic
It fluttered, it crept in deep.
Dug a hole inside my body
Where my heart used to beat.
Dodo, dododo, laladi, dada (x2)
Let me out
Hear me crying
On the bedroom floor
Little fears have eaten me alive
From the inside
Like an apple devoured by worms.
Here I am broken
Needing someone to hold me up
But I chased them
With fire
Said I had it all figured out.
Dodo, dododo, laladi, dada (x2)
