Zippermouth

Give me a second please
let me inhale and breathe
I'll find a way to appease
The confirmation of my existence that you need
Just when I'm about to finally let the words tumble out
They get stuck mid way
So shut me up and call me zippermouth
Cuz look: I do have teeth but they're just a fashion accessory they don't help me speak
it's a good place to hide behind this enclosure
People see me as a freak and don't come any closer
The only way you'll ever see the thoughts I can never speak
Is if you unzip me completely
Make me bare naked thoughts seen esiley
And unzip the zipper tied to my face to see what's behind
To look deep into my mind
But the only way in is to pull it open and get stuck inside
That's my warning
If you don't want to see the unchained prisoner no longer tied to the metal chair
Who's actually just my free spirit roaming, that was decided to be shoved in there
Then go now and leave
But don't pretend that you can't see all the other zipperheads along the street
Thousands that you always meet
Except they use super glue and find ways to have there zipper removed
They don't like it being accessible to thieves who are up to no good
The secret however is; you need one to survive
Because with a zipper at least there's something precious you have there to hide
Don't stare at me like that don't gasp at me like that
I already feel like a freak don't make me feel like I'm under attack
If you have nothing else to say then pick up your pride and leave me be
But if not then
Look in your reflection and shut up and zip up because your just like me
You're... just like me
And there's nothing wrong with that
You've stayed for my story
So stand back
Pull me open now
my defense is down
Take one more look at this distiute town
Because one journey inside of me...
And you'll never be the same
Call me creativity-
that's my real name.
