The Interview
They send me pain for breakfast 
 Maybe they don't know my identity 
 Maybe they don't understand how I function 
 Maybe they think I like the pain 
 Maybe they know who I am and want to torture me 
 Or maybe the wind is picking up 
 And the sky is ready for a storm 
 As Lennon lyrics spin in my head 
 On that wheel he watches turn around and around 
 I cradle myself and close my eyes 
 I rock myself to and fro 
 They and the others stroll in and out of my room 
 I stare in wonder, curiosity, and hope 
 Sometmies they change faces, but I still see most of them 
 I think I may enjoy them 
 They're rpetty entertaining once they look at me 
 Well, there's one of them that seems to like my room 
 I think It may see me because It keeps looking at me whenever It visits 
 I'm not sure if I see It either 
 Since It's the most intriguing, I visit It whenever I feel free to do so 
 In fact, I think I may visit It more than It visits me 
 Yes, that's not the first time that's happened 
 Whatever the matter, we named ourselves siblings 
 So, I'm for sure stuck with it 
 Anyone who comes in my room often isn't very worthy 
 But I put on a smile and continue to wait 
 They are curious creatures and we are odd 
 Anyway, I tried out for the musical, "The Young and Wise" 
 I made call-backs, but their decision isnt' made yet 
 For lunch, they usually send me scraps of indecency 
 I don't mind the taste 
 It seems that me and It get fed the same meals 
 Dinner varies from platters of love to bowls of lonliness 
 Mostly, I eat what I am given unless I'm thirsty
