A Murder of Crows

A murder of crows inside of my brain

I will not fall into that ash black hole

That darkest thing inside of me

is just a murder of crows

I can not be a scarecrow

and frighten them from inside of me

Someone that is alive can not be a scarecrow

Crows are only afraid of things that are dead

That goes for my crows and your crows too

Poe's "Raven" was really in his brain, saying

nevermore

and for some they can not ignore that word

Nevermore, nevermore quoth the raven chattering in their ear

When Kurt Cobain blew a hole in his head he was

only trying to murder his murder of crows

For some that's the way out

Crows are afraid of the dead

and once you die they'll leave you alone

My crows, I know what they are

and I am not afraid of them anymore

I will not be beaten by their flapping wings

I will never listen to that word, nevermore

I know that they are crows and a murder is

only two or more
