the scent of you still clings to my sheets
and feelings confuse me
my skype history is a long list of confessions but my biggest secrets are still buried within me
i feel sick
i wish i could purge on self-hatred
i'll dig out these secrets for the sake of this poem, or ramble, or whatever it is
core myself on sharp shards of broken hearts - i have plenty to choose from
more fuel to the fire, my ever-burning hatred for myself
when will it consume me?
i feel sick

confession no.1
i just ate all of the chocolate in the fridge so it wouldn't have to stare me in the face any longer
swallowed it down like its sweetness didn't make me feel bitter
and followed it with a bowl of cereal as a last hoorah for my oncoming diet

confession no.2
i'm **** at this poetry thing
or at least that's how i feel

i can't even be good at something i love
how could anyone expect me to be good at loving?

confession no.3
right now, i feel nothing but resentment and hatred for my mother
her snide comment about my commitment to my therapy made me want to break her neck

confession no.4
i'm incredibly blunt, which is probably why i **** at poetry
i also haven't gotten my anger issues in check
today, on the bus, i imagined shooting this racist woman's head repeatedly and i was angry that i couldn't make her bleed

confession no.5
it's raining outside and i don't feel any calmer
perhaps it's just too mild for me when i feel this stormy
biting back torrential tears like not crying will somehow make me a stronger hurricane
but
i'm still not good enough to blow anybody away

confession no.6
i feel sick in every sense of the word
i kind of want to die
when i was a child
i knew one thing for certain
adults don't listen

Words are like water
                   You can wipe them
Away but there will
            Always be a reminder
An outline of where they
                  Left their  mark.

I come to every little town
gonna ****  gonna ****  gonna ****

I'm gonna gun 'em all down
gonna ****  gonna ****  gonna ****

That is what they'll say of me
and all those other words

Those words   Those words  Those words
They'll say of me

Old school kickin'-misresenting
Don't go to a big screen box
Rent it - safer - don't go there
Madmen gunmen everywhere

Welcome to hell in the 21st Century
It started that way at the turn of the century
Turn around and be shot dead
by a bozo reject doctor with some crazy hair
or when you are buying gerber groceries at the fair

What a world  What a world  What a world
Some parts are just so sad
Hey ya gotta live- ya gotta hide
Stay inside, stay alive

They're bombing everywhere

blow
