Bandersnatch

Bandersnatch
Emily Holmes

1.
I remember the shadows
stretching over the oak tree.
As I tried to climb to the top
the hooded figure hit me like a rock.

2.
My world stopped spinning.
He held my hand,
as I shook violently from the ice in his soul.

3.
Immortality take a toll on the soul.
Pay $6.66 at the door.
Don’t get burned at the handle,
take a left at the skeleton room.
Welcome to Heaven.

4.
As the golden ring,
hovers over your head,
can you feel yourself evolving?
Let the horns sprout onto your scalp.

5.
Hold yourself back
don’t let your body shake.
Control the animal inside.

6.
It’s a war between good and evil.
Love and hate.
Your spirit and your reflection.

7.
Hold it. Step back.
Look down to your icing body.
Cry toxic tears onto your heart.
Back up. Slow down.
Blink numerously. Kick and scream.

8.
Leave your dark cavern.
Welcome to life.
Happy birthday.
