I think im dead


Yesterday i saw a dog hanging out with his friends

 

This dog was a stray

 

So were his friends

 

I was driving 

 

This dog and his friends ran out into the street 

 

This dog was hit and this dog was dead

 

Also gone were his friends

 

Still alive but they just left

 

But this is not what i care about 

 

I dont care about some dead dog and his asswhole friends that just left him there to rot all by himself  like he was a piece of trash, like he was nothing more then what he was, a stry dog

 

I care about myslef

 

What i feel 

 

Or dont feel

 

This dog was dead on the ground

 

I just drove by

 

Seconds after i forgot

 

Never gave it a second thought

 

I think im dead...

 

 

Yesterday i saw a homeless man

 

This homeless man was dirty 

 

This homeless man stank

 

I was walking into Jack in box

 

Of course he asked for cash

 

Of course i got mad

 

I cursed him in my head

 

Ignored his extended hand

 

But this is not what i care about

 

I dont care about this poor man who was only asking for money, probably only wanted a bite to eat or something to drink, it was hot out and maybe just needed and excuse to be allowed inside. he just needed a hand 

 

I care about myself

 

What i feel 

 

Or dont feel

 

This homeless man just sat there

 

I just walked by

 

Seconds after i forgot

 

Never gave it a second thought

 

I think im dead

 

 

I THINK IM DEAD

 

 

I THINK IM DEAD...                                                            i hope im not dead
