untitled spoken word.
I'll tell you a little story
a fable of a boy first decade of his life a little momma's boy, smiles, cries, driven on impulse but shy and a second decade later he grows up to hate her, god, society, and the words that emerge from their lips that converge and take a grip and pull, tear, rip him down. can't escape from this town or the stigma of the failure that grew within his genes we only carry so much sanity till we lose our fuckin minds. can't they see the drama queens in their teenage kids that they lable with gap, blue navy, american eagle and the rest of that crap that smothers something new, something different and these neo commercial cut outs are so sure of their over priced shit it makes him so fucking sick. so two decades old so much has changed so much is still the same. he can't help being himself yet he can't cope with it so he'll go home and cry till he open his wrists wide. convulted confusion, swirling hatred, burning ignites. and he doesn't do it to die but to forget the pain of being a man. - Written by me, last night. |

(keep writing>)
so much emphasis to live days as a man, but take solace, that nights are for the child, where one can live heroic, on his own he'll stand, slashing ones wrists, blood lettn, drip, drip, you think its escape from pain, but flat echoes remind you, you quit, call out surrender, reach for a love, infinate connections slit, hold the bile at bay, give it a shove, see, we in this fight, this struggle together, uber cheese, melodramatica, we may have never met, but trust me, we're brothers your turn> |

thanks for the reply, although I think you're mistaken.
The closest part of this poem that really relates to my life or how I felt at the time I wrote it are "convulted confusion, swirling hatred, burning ignites." I wrote this shortly after someone close to me had passed away and I had read this quote by Samuel Johnson "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man". At the moment I just tried to best capture my frustration. I apologize if I misled you, just cause I write like an emo kid, doesn't mean I wear my scars on my sleeves. |
