Oh Joy
the fates surround me
like i'm part of someone else's destiny
sporadic, spacial, evenly scarred
what am i so afraid of?
a tear in the heart
and a slit to the veins
evenly remorseless
evenly scathed
condescending overhead
has gone underway
if you could have only seen
the looks on my face(s)
so i hang, utilitarian
nothing new to say
tourette's-like crying
thoughts once forebade
comatose overgrowth
moss spreading across my eyelids
if you give it just enough time
i could become permanently blind
oh joy
but the f-cks
those spineless, dirty ape-sh-t f-cks
they thought they could just sit around
and make themselves at home
in my apartment
sipping my soda
and endulging in whatever's in the cupboard
i walked in to meet a gun
shook triggers and sat down
i held my composure
my typically nervous composure
and gladly obliged
when they asked for my wallet
no skin off my neck
or whatever that phrase was
no skin off my...
gunfire
i looked over to a bullethole in the couch
then some kind of blow to the head
when i woke up they were gone
oh joy
i just wish i was sleeping
