Shut Up And Listen 121 Shitty Poems Written As Filler Because I Can’t Think Of Something To Write About For Your Love It’s alright, baby, don’t worry About the shipment of socks That was expected in today’s mail Tune up the car and give me a lift To the docks and maybe we’ll see Tomorrow’s shipment come in With the usual style and flair Of a Southeast Asian pirate vessel That makes forty-eight percent of its profits Off of white slaves You know, people just like you and me Except caught out on the high seas Where everything is fair game Pity the poor fools But not too much as we get their socks Hopefully we’ll get a pair with toes Those feel cool Paranoia Flashes in the night Tell me that they’re here To tear us apart Come from a faraway land They care not about you or I But only about the sweet, sweet juices That flow through our genitalia Contested Winnings They found out that I rigged the bingo game And took away my money Damn nuns Pressure And Anxiety Are Too Much For Me My eyes are red and puffy with little brownish pink circles under them. I push my hair back and even pull at it a little. Stray hairs get caught between my fingers And I stare at the ends of them, Just staring at the live follicles that are left attached. To put it frankly: I look like shit. Don’t deny it. The bleeding ulcer in my stomach tells all that needs to be said About my life as the teenager whose stress level is akin to a broker From Wall Street. An old movie said suicide is painless, But I’m killing myself right now And the pain is overwhelming. Life is hard work and I’m considering quitting. Heaven is just a really good pension plan. Hell is the first Enron. Purgatory is waiting in line at the unemployment office. Good luck with that, folks.
