I'm reading a book by Dalton Trumbo titled Johnny Got His Gun. The book is an anti-war protest book centered around the main character, Joe Bonham, and his current state: fading in and out of consciousness while having no arms, legs, lower jaw, ears, or eyes to express himself.
No sense of feeling -I'm caving in No sense of my -Condition
It has to be a dream just one big disastrous tragedy (in my head) But all these thoughts they are so real with feelings that lag from the tainted nerves (those that I have left)
When a body's just gray matter in a head, without limbs to carry it
When a man's just gray matter with a trunk that has no defense at all
If I simply lay here and die -everything would be alright But there's nothing to hold the knife Tie the noose Pull the trigger (Give me answers)
Someone out there hear my screams or lack thereof (This is all a dream) Someone out there speak my words, I can't quite tell if I'm all here I need a visual on my situation But I don't have the means to paint the canvas (This is all a dream, this is all a dream) This can't be fucking happening to me
