im your sister im your friend im your daughter im your son. i was attached in the womb almost as one into the world what gift given to me. i am your lover i am your neighbour i am beside you on this bus. inside my head, you are a disease. let maggots drip from my ears and fill my head with vacant smoke. im your dolly im your peanut im your sweetheart you're my love- you-know-nothing. im alive im a giver im a selfish hurting bastard Take me back to 84 September, on a Wednesday 12 days from the first. Stay out of the shower... Cross your legs. You should have slept instead.
The last 6 lines managed to really pique my interest. I'm not real sure how the reference to maggots and disease furthers your message or even relates to the overall poem. I think of maggots and disease as something to do with decay...and yet again I don't quite see how that would come into play in the poem.
as always, i love it hun. i can't even begin to describe how amazingly talented you are. and in regards to the last few lines. if they mean what i think they mean, then i'm glad she didn't!!!!
Well, this is about people calling someone their daughter, their neighbour, their sister..whatever....but all being ignorant to what you're really about...to me, these people are diseases, they go around thinking they're doing so good.... "ooh i loooove my sister"...but really, she knows nothing about what her sister's really about. the maggots drippin outta my ears is just a metaphore for forgetting the ignorance, and leaving it vacant for new thoughts. inside my head, you are a disease. let maggots drip from my ears and fill my head with vacant smoke.
Wow all of a sudden this takes a self righteous turn of events. Don't you think some people don't let others know what they really are all about? Then you can't really blame the so called "ignorant" people you can only blame yourself. I can relate to this poem on the level that I too have people who know little about myself yet they act like they know me. It pisses me off but I also realize it's my fault. I think most our problems tend to come from the within but whatever I'm getting philosophical here
hehe i know what you mean.....and i mean hey, it's something we all do. That's the point of it....we generalize people as people, and not individuals. It was just my mood at the time i wrote it....
