vitamin

i'm born

i'm alive

i breathe

in a moment or two i realize

that the sphere upon which i reside

is asleep on its feet. should i go back to sleep?

i'm born

in a moment or two i realize

that the sphere upon which i reside

is asleep on its feet. should i should i should i go back to sleep?

you stare at me like i'm a vitamin

on the surface you hate

but you know you need me. i'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit. whatever helps you swallow truth

all the more easily. we orbit the sun

i grow up

my open eyes see. a zombified

somnambulist society. leaving us as vitamins

for the hibernating human animal. do you see what i mean?

you stare at me like i'm a vitamin

on the surface you hate

but you know you need me. i'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit. whatever helps you swallow truth

all the more easily. and i wonder

will you digest me?

into the sleep machine i won't plug in

in fact i'd rather die before i will comply. to you

my friend

i write the reason i still live

'cause in my mind it's set the vitamin is ripe to give

coming closer to another 2000 years

you and i will pry

the closed eye of the sleep machine

you stare at me like i'm a vitamin

on the surface you hate

but you know you want me. i'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit. whatever helps you swallow truth

all the more easily.
