NorthStar- Nick Torres

I am the cannon that will wreck your home
I am the sword that will reshape your bones
I am the piano that nobody plays when everybody's home
I know your viens so much better then you
i know the condition of your heart
I can smell the glue
I know where you keep all the diamonds and the meat
I know how to eat them when they shut off the heat
I know the devil
He taught me how to smile
without showing my gums
He taught me which end is shallow

Now i know how fast i gotta run.

So keep those pictures on the shelf
and keep your prayers to your self
We live like this for the laughs. for the fun
And not for god, not for anyone....
I hear the devil is mixing up some sugar and tea
Round and round with those old rotten feet
So just the basics, no need to poison me please
The Bitter the sweet the better for me.



I love this poem,i can relate to this alot.
