Another smoke
Another drink
Another mundane day
As you age you realize
That life don’t change that much
You can’t complain
It’s insane
Life is beautifully simple

Don’t look
Just be aware
That the world ain’t your friend
Faces show
motionless grins
And jaded perceptions

Life is beautiful
Life is grand
Life’s a spec
In the sands of time

And the pervonbial  hourglass
Is ever-ticking
John Dewberry Mar 2020
It may not be ladies night
But if you’re single
Let me buy you dinner
And a drink and go from there

Drinks are cheap
But you’re so fine
What’s your fancy
Brandy, champagne, or wine
Let’s chat and unwind

Singles swing
On a double stroke
Once for luck, seconds for folks
Time slows down
Yes it’s true
Ironic isn’t it, my minutes start with you
John Dewberry Feb 2020
You wake up alone
You sleep alone
And you realize
That everyone you sleepwith
Is fleeting
But that doesn’t seem to stop you
You’re on a quest to find connection
In all the wrong places
And as suns rise and sunsets
You learn to feel empty

Never ask about a next time
You know that’ll never happen
And when the stars realign
You realize that the person you wake up next to you
Has the intention of a no strings attached relationship
You reluctantly
Hop into bed with them
Only to find yourself
On the couch
When all is said and done
You feel no connection
Despite stating the contrary
You were betrayed by situational honesty  

Congratulations, you’ve officially

Sometimes the doghouse
Is where you wanna be
free-dom and freedumb
Are blessings in disguise
Have you realized
That their punishments
Provide you space
Time, shelter
And shade
From their looming shade

Doghouses
Are standing fixtures
Provide reflection
Dissection
And Introspection
With the added benefit
Of protection  from the elements

Mind it
But don’t MIND it
it’s not that bad
When you’re all good

Relax friend
You can rest easy

So what
If I get wasted
So what
If I work at a slower rate
I articulate
And get through
Thoroughly

You say
I’m mislead
That I’m my worst enemy
I drink from my cup
If cynicism
I’m overflowing with discourse
That you don’t wanna hear
Cause it don’t fit
With your *******

Call me dense
Color
Me unimpressed
The dearth of ideas
You claim
To have
Are as limited as your
Limited worldview

Hypocrite
You’re being a hyperbolic , jaded
Piece of work
It must be an art to be a living myoma

You’re a morning after
A morning late
A mourning coup de tat
Always throwing punches in your mind

Your not special
Join the crowd
And realize
You’re as vanilla
As every other **** snowflake
You associate yourself with

Don’t you feel proud?

And yes I’m happy
In case you were wondering
But I also know
You don’t have live like this
In your repetitive mind state
John Dewberry Feb 2020
Just take your pills
Get your thrills
pay their bills

Faux advice
Half-hearted wisdom
The tooth’s been extracted
And if you want anesthesia
That comes at cost
  
At the cost
Of your dignity
And mental freedom

Politicians are liars
Lawyers are crooks
And shrinks are the prostitutes
Of the  “respectable”
professional world

They work your mind
Stretch your head
You’re now confused
Much too your dread

Shrinks are the unsavory prostitutes
Of the  “respectable”
professional world
John Dewberry Feb 2020
I never wanted
To feel so connected
But you’ve got me by the ***** now
And I feel bad
I almost regret the moments we had

Why’d you give me your #
Kiss me goodbye
Left me asking why
Should I try
If you said the only issue was age

38x24
38x24
38x24
38x24

Just goes to show
You can’t ever trust a shrink
Professionally
Or in any scenario
