Another Poem About Me
00:45
|
|
||
Do I really care
about anyone
but myself?
Am I really
that narcissistic?
so egotistical
so egocentric
so self
absorbed that
nobody else matters?
to me
A million and one questions
are reaching through
my head.
Questions about
me.
About me
in regards to
other people.
How can that be?
How is it that
when I look at you
I only see
myself?
How can I love
another individual
when I
myself
am so sick sick sick
in the head?
I’m such a wretched person.
The human race could do
without a person as sick as
me … dot dot dot

My life tainted
with broken aspirations that
make me feel less than
and
and
and
my life hopeless
my world broken
my existence floating away on a wisp of smoke
and
and
and
if only I could see her again
be embraced as she kisses me deeply
the girl of my dreams
and
and
and
it’s a worthless struggle
step back and give up
as life shimmers past me dissipates and is gone
and
and
and
it’s gone

Right now the world is broken, and I fix it with the blunt edge of a sledgehammer. Right now the world is shattered, and I fix it with the crisp point of a pickaxe.
Really, I don’t know. Life is happening and I just don’t know. I squander this universe in search of some sort of answer, but the only answers I ever get feel like razor blades against my skin—
razors dipped in lemon juice, that is.
Right now the world is fractured, and I fix it with the heel of my boot. The world is damaged, smashed up, trashed, and glimmering with disuse. I stand in the crossfire
I stand in the traffic jam, in the haphazard assortment of nothing. I stand amid the mayhem and I scream
I scream as loud as I can—
This is life. Right now I can honestly say I’m demented, disordered—demented disordered and deranged—and I piece my brain back together with the stammering blade of a jackhammer.
Right now the world is FUCKED UP!!!

i know my art is dark & thought-provoking & maybe even scary to certain audiences, & maybe people are thinking, is he okay? is he gonna do himself in tonight? im a little worried; or maybe people are thinking, what an asshole! he just wants to complain, hes only seeking attention, is all———all for a few more LIKEs. but the truth of the matter is, i like this kind of art. when i see art of a darker variety, i feel stimulated, i feel joyful & alive, i feel like im on top of the whole FUCKING world, & i dont know why that is. i like things that bite i guess, for ive always surrounded myself with a more dangerous kind of person, even though to me the average joe was rearing to bite my head off, the prom kings & queens lurking around the corner brandishing switchblades & clubs just waiting for me to come rounding the bend, & you all know what would happen to me then, right? yeah, MY people wear spikes & leather, but YOUR people wear uggs & denim with plastic smiles & phony lives that seem so pathetic but still scare me senseless. you see, i stopped checking out plastic-looking girls one day on the train as i admired these 2 hot preppy-looking girls standing by the door, & then the thought popped in my head: Like fucking a dried-out blow-up doll, your dick chafing the plastic twat in between her legs—painful and gross, right? well, that did it for me; those girls no longer seemed hot anymore & the kind of girls that did intrigue me had piercing scowls carved across their faces, sporting short, spikey hair, with leather jackets dashed & tainted with loads of paint & spikes & studs sticking thru the vacant spaces. thats my kind of girl, this is my kind of art. darkness doesn't seem so scary anymore when youve lived it, like walking thru a haunted house; only the haunted house is your life & the ghouls & goblins hiding in the shadows getting ready to pounce on the first passerby that crosses their paths, are your friends & the only ones left to fear are the quote-unquote normal folk who are wanting to destroy you.
