I Like To
June 4, 2012
I like to think everyone feels differently than me
I like to be the unique one, only special to me
I like to believe that God wanted me to write
I like to blot out the others and their spite
I like to wallow in my mind and self
I like to put the others on the shelf
I like to smile when others cry
I like to cry when people die
I like to read the greed of tomorrow
I like to add on to the pain and sorrow
I like to get people to believe I’m sweet
I like to hide that I am incomplete
I like to bask in my own shame
I like to watch others take the blame
I like to be repetitive and annoying
I like to umemploy those employing
I like to irk them with my rhyming
I like to add extra words just for kicks, taking pleasure in bad timing
I like to ignore the ones I acknowledge
I like to feel myself on edge
I like to cry…I want to die
I like to fatten myself with pie
I’d like to end myself for good
I’d like to drown myself in my own blood
I like to…I so want to
But instead, I just gotta hate it all…
