Overrated


And in the fleeting feeling of

not wanting to speak and falling asleep induced

for mere minutes by the two rolled sticks of chemical sawdust

followed by a good cup of coffee that was for some reason losing its appeal is it never normally would have

I felt like someone besides myself

and that person was not a person I liked

And much rather would I have been myself

And not had to vomit my brains out

twice

when instead I could have been enjoying what should have could have would have been a 

different night

But nonetheless

20th century romanticism killed the cat 

once again

I am a poet, musician, and strong proponent of LGBTQ rights, gender equality, and being your true self no matter what ANYONE says. Do what you please, comment anything that comes to your mind, make you happy first. Then your dog/cat. That's pretty much it. Hail Santa. THE END.
