inside man

There was a dead man
in my head and I don’t
know what he did in
there but sometimes through
the red parts of my eyes
i saw him trying to get
out.

one day I let him, and
i went in instead, and
with him out it wasn’t
so bad in here

now he walks around
and talks to the people that I know
and says peculiar things and
i’m not even sure if any of them
have noticed.

but I don’t think he can make
things any worse and I’m starting
to like it in here and I think I might
stay.
