Petals In The Grass
Piranha
There's blood in the water
The piranha have come
Knowing that I'm injured
It's been revealed on paper
It's been revealed in words
Smelling my weaknesses
Tasting my fears
Attracted by wounds
That still bleed
I've exposed many frailties
Through poetry and prose
They know my debilitations
By making public my imperfections
Damaged and maimed
I stand in deep waters
With piranha ready to eat me alive
The piranha have come
Knowing that I'm injured
It's been revealed on paper
It's been revealed in words
Smelling my weaknesses
Tasting my fears
Attracted by wounds
That still bleed
I've exposed many frailties
Through poetry and prose
They know my debilitations
By making public my imperfections
Damaged and maimed
I stand in deep waters
With piranha ready to eat me alive
