From When We Were Young

Location

To the back of my teeth I itch
Down from my cold core I wretch
From when I was young, to the tip of my tongue
The thoughts inside long to etch

Skin crawls like legs that wander
Beneath I'll bubble and burn
Right from the soul, I'll do what I'm told
And I'll be told to wait my turn
