Shiftless Under Black Eyes Poem by Raven Rasputin

All alone
It’s what I’ve dreaded
I make you what you are,
You’re tightly threaded

And you, you mold me too
Just look and see
And now it seems we’re never far
From shifting who we ought to be

Color me in,
Make me green and bright
On the inside there is only tar
But who can see without a light?

And when it’s sunny,
My mood will shift
To forget this insight that will mar
This darkness; it will be a gift
