Next Big Thing
I don’t understand
Why all the great artists
Have to be depressed as f***
To be great.
I feel like my sadness
Is tantamount to my success.
I can’t finish my work-
Can’t find the motivation
To even call my f****** boyfriend-
Because I’m on the road
To the Next Big Thing!
I’m miserable because I’m driving
Along the highway of creativity.
F*** that.
I’m f****** miserable
Because my brain is in the s***s,
And I’m a pessimistic little a*****e
Because I don’t remember
What it was like
When I was the chipper, peppy little b****
Who flirted with everything that moved
And ate herself sick
And wore her hair in a greasy ponytail
With eyeshadow smeared across her face
And a massive, s***-eating grin
Splitting already split lips.
