Frankenstein From Scratch



I create my own monster from scratch
This giant beast that I piece and attach

Each component made intricately to be bound together
With one another, each piece is as light as a feather

The whole lot meant to be placed by hand, to be stitched and stacked
A Frankenstein of my own that I create right from scratch

I make sure to not give it eyes, for it shouldn't suffer
From the harsh and brutal sights out in the world, a life crusher

I make sure to not give it ears, for I couldn't let it bear
The abdominally abysmal and scarring sounds we hear

I make sure to not give it a mind, for I would never want it be caught
Up in the pain of having it's own unbearable and ultimately anguishing thought

I make sure to give it a heart, since without an opponent
A heart in a body without a brain sounds unimaginably pleasant

I make sure to give it a mouth but stich it shut
So that it represents it's painlessness without any words or such

A Frankenstein of mine, neither eyed nor eared
A Frankenstein of mine, unminded with a heart and lips sealed

A monster by name this creature I lifed and lightly pieced
face a mess of nothing , it's exterior is bulky to be appeared

A most beloved monster that I keep by my side
A monster now complete and to keep it is mine
