Two black screws on the side of my head
drill into my brain when you say what you've said.
You turn the screws whenever you please.
You call me names, I start to bleed.
With every kick, with every jab,
the screws go deeper as they stab;
they pierce my heart, they pierce my head,
leaving nothing behind for I'm broken and dead.
This poem I wrote based on a lyric in the song, You Turn the Screws by Cake.

" You turn the screws
It's what you choose to do
You think that I must turn them, too "

The way I interpreted this part of the song was that the screws symbolized stress, digging into someone's brain slowly. Then the person who is stressed blames it on the narrator (singer). So I made this poem. But then again this poem is more about abusing someone and not stress or insanity digging into someone's brain. Oh wait it actually is about stress. Doi. I should stop writing this...
