thirteen wishes

thirteen wishes, tinfoil and gold

my parents said you're not too old

thirteen wishes, a sense of adventure

nothing on tv, where do i venture

rotten flesh and a scurry ledge

it all ends the same, i'm on the edge

the only route

to slither you out

blood in my diaper

some on your hands

rinsing grime

pulling back strands

no more plastic, hands too dry

to pick up hobbies outside of work

no more makeup, not enough rouge

to bring me back my porcelain smirk

they will say i gave my life, though

i lost it all to a genie and now

mother won't call, not even to chat

even if she did,

i should known better than that

back
