die
lie
or cry trying
it’s quite unbearable
knowing that your days are numbered
yet
not the ones where your body remains present
but where your soul prays for it’s life
to become stable
would it have been better if she texted back
could it have been possible
for you to not have fumbled
that relationship
of course not
you silly cunt
you over analyzed the situation
and now you pay letters to your heart
reading them wouldn’t be delightful
as they have been blasted through your brain
punted
like a ball
containing your thoughts
of loneliness
and curiously
anger
did she really do something to make you this mad
or did you expect this from the beginning
this is where i lied
i made myself believe
things that were fake
and i delivered
upon those false realities
next time should be better
at least i hope
i’ll make sure of it
that i am the best of me
this is what got me into this situation
the mask that i have broken
pieced back together
and provided my heart
with documentation
to fuck me over
i should’ve learned
from this promising fable
where a rat gets too confident
gazing
upon a block of cheese
you could imagine the rest
as we shouldn’t talk about murder
at the dinner table
they say that i shouldn’t swear
that it’s bad for my conscious
garbage in garbage out they say
but i wish to tear down that fucking wall
i’m fucking sad
and i deserve to launch this poetic rhythm
into those who have the gall
to tell me to put the notebook
down
after i’m finished collecting my thoughts
let me forget about these people
who desire to leave me out of their messages
and
let me dine at the hall of demons
talk to my successors
and finally understand how to finish this life
before it rots away
because it would be so easy
to let dad be right
just one last time
to rot away in a ditch
splitting college
getting calcium from the drain
like a fucking snitch
it isn’t what i desire
but dad isn’t ever wrong is he
or
i can wash this filth off of me
just scrub away the pain
look in the mirror
look at those marks
the stretching of the skin
and the bulk of muscle
they call it gainz
i could dedicate myself to this path
as i proved in my reflection
that i could
i could win over the world
quit handing out brown bags
perhaps i should
the destination will never be known
yet i believe
that i have hurled myself
towards it
in a way
not yet comparable
to those around me
once i land
i’ll pop the head off of my neck
as i’m not the one here
meant for greatness
that would be my soul
distanced from this body
maybe a few down the line
perhaps i lose the will to continue
on the trek
and begin to soak the sun
this stop
wouldn’t take but a few centuries
smelling the roses wouldn’t be frowned upon
as i could rendezvous
with the bees
yet eventually
i would find my way
watch the sun explode
as i drown in regret
but what the fuck is wrong
i have made it
everything i have fantasized about
had been achieved
yet it would all be thrown away
for the mask
that i had once worn
was never broken
so i would regress to the current me
just to live this life
once again.

this is so Cute
all that Profanity and worded Rage
because we Assume, its too unbearably humbling
to simply acknowledge that we Too, are sometimes: at Fault...
