my life went smoother
when I reached the conclusion
that it's all *******

when maturity
is learning how not to hate
someone who's wronged you

it's been a strange trip
trying to get to the point
where I know myself

I feel just like a bucket

full of **** this Friday morn

i'm feeling old, my feet are cold,

my muscles badly torn



but if I take a break, a day to stop,

and just recoup

that all the work I've done this year

will turn back into ****

I think

I've

spilled enough

blood

to last

a while

what defines its worth?
because personally, I've seen a lot
of lazy, shiftless excuses for a statement
get the highest honors,
while my precious children
starve alone in the cold

your poems
in my floor
the dog
hopped off the bed
to recreate them
sometime last night

hey, do ya
think ya
could break me
off a piece
of that

Kit-Kat?

real quick

first you have to learn
to love
the
****
out of yourself

go somewhere quiet
and get yourself

u n ******* e d

n o t  s u r e

if I should take

another  t o k e ,

or if I have

a r r i v e d

at that point
