Cotton Anxious (Edited by YumnaKay)

A Poem by Chase Dylan
"

Focusing on locusts...

"
 I focus on
locust
hocus pocus
corpus 'n' oak'us ​- ​cloak'us
forest broken 'n' soakin'
evokin' mopin' ​; ​a rope'n elope
and slope'n​...​

​I'​m open like robes
​...​hose me down​...​
​...​hopes crown​...​
I'​m bound to sound
round my pound​,​
out of drowns​,​
so air hounds​ --​ abound​.​
I'​m loud in a cloud​,​
the ground amounts​
 to an ounce of mounds
-- and now​ --​

​I'​m bound
a bat outta hell
as​ -​ ​I​ fall and
sell myself short​ ...​ at bat​.​

​I'​m a rat​ ~​ so phat
I'​m cracked at the seams
​...​it se​e​ms​...​
my means are weaned
and lean, now sleep​
and dream​​
of eating ​​reams​.​

​T​he paper bling
that screams
as the mean king 
reaps ​-​ with ease​.​

​I'​m asleep and cream-filled​ 
​a donut​ ​still​ -​- 
​I​ will be​ --​- still​.​

​M​y will is filled
with obnoxious krill​,​
that kill and kill​...​
like the pill​​
​...oxycotin​...​
N​oxious​;​ ​I'​m
cotton anxious
forgotten angst, christ​;​

it​'​s drilled into my head
a bill of dead bits
lead to lead a message, Zed 
- in a bottle -
when will the mess begin​?​
I'​m throttled, a model citizen
and ​--- ​it ends​,​

no rest for trimmed
and
~ gobbled friends​.​

You two have made me so smile :) truth I can feel Yumna's mind jumping here and there taking the lead for Your own mind to jump after, and I'm pretty sure You liked so much the freedom it gave You, I feel real joy through the whole piece, where nothing else matter, the whole world doesn't matter!
Thank You both!

Thank you, Jay
I must say the oxycotin part was the most fun part to read as well as edit ;)
Though you wrote it as rap, it still reads dark to me, an almost gloomy touch.
This being said, I enjoyed editing it and making my frozen brain cells run a mile on how to do it lol so thank you for that, D! (:

P.S am I allowed to blush over all the exaggerated praises by you and all the reviewers here? lol jk thanks for that too (:
