You Know You’re In Trouble When…

Andrea_Martinez

Blood oozes down the wall

Or if you find a large puddle of it on the floor

When your kid vomits green & their head spins right around

Or when they levitate above their bed & you can’t get them down

In your dreams, creepy girls sing disturbing rhymes

Or you wake up with deep cuts from a guy with finger knives

Toothless, dirty, rednecks look at you with glee

Or when you walk into a house and it tells you to leave

At camp the young, half-naked counsellors turn up dead

Or worse without their head

When the scary tree outside your window tries to eat you

And the closet eats your sister too

Or when her new best friend is the beast

Also coffins start popping up, expelling the deceased

A shark isn’t looking for food anymore, just to kill

Or when its friends seek revenge on your family, people don't believe you & think you’re mentally ill

You’re vulnerable in space, thinking you’re blessed to be on this quest

And suddenly get these aliens that rip through your chest

You see a big guy with a chainsaw and wearing someone else’s face

Or worse makes a full skin body one to wear, seriously what a nutcase

What to do when you know you’re in trouble

Grab a gun, crucifix and holy water in a double

Skip the country and pray you’ll survive

But know deep down inside you may very well die.
