Longing in the disconnect
Sobriety is boring
Intelligence leans into that
A self destructive story
You just want to black out
And never have to worry
But that ain’t a safe
And never ends up being reassuring
Have you gotten soft with your middle class positions
Instead of looking for change between chair cousins
Minimum wage replaced with headaches and paid breaks
Fucking desperation pays
Great
But
it’s
BORING
BORING
Minimum wage replaced with headaches and paid breaks
Fucking desperation pays great
But it’s
BORING
But it’s
BORING
You never heard back about your screen play?
I wonder when it’s going to get made..
My continual condition
Is a forgone disposition
‘Calm down sir, please!’
Kinda intermission
While the order of words
Has only made my life worse
I’ve written out the epitaph
And tried to beat the curse
Got kinda soft in some middle lane positions
Dug into the darkness and crossd a few partitions
Laying awake replaced with headaches and paid breaks
Fuckin’
Desperation pays great
But it’s boring..
A monologue to my peers:
Let’s retrace what brought us here
Creative writing classes and student debt
It hasn’t added up to what they promised yet
But hang on tight
With you I plead
Life is full of twists and schemes
Keep on tweeting out
Ferociously
And maybe one day your words will be seen
But they’ll be
BORING
Boring
Minimum wage replaced with headaches and paid breaks
Fucking desperation pays great
But it’s
BORING
You never heard back about your screen play?
I wonder when it’s going to get made..
