most misunderstood invention
lock your gaze on your reflection
in due time, I guarantee
your eyes a distant memory

graduated not with honor
simply cured from a disease
dedicated to my father
who I no longer try to please

orphan my adopted gender
drown in logic fallacies
if found don't return to sender
patriarchal allergies

always driving, not a trucker
but my garden's full of trees!
happy birthday *******
childhood hero rest in peace

I cannot hold out much longer
inner demons getting stronger
lump in throat a form of cancer
the question without an answer

your green mile the longest walk
left my heart enclosed in chalk
very fitting your profession
unremitting my obsession

FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS YOUR LIPS WERE HEARD
I DON'T DESERVE A SINGLE WORD?

how I wish this poem was fiction
filled with lies and contradiction
fabrication's so much faster
and I did learn from the master

you ripped out my spinal chord
legs divided by your sword
an inconvenience in your life
my back must have hurt your knife

doorbell
“mommy, it's a police”

your honor must grant objection
after a thorough inspection
lack of substance no connection
second yellow forced ejection

empty verse and pale complexion
run to your witness protection
there will be no resurrection
only natural selection

corpse unworthy of dissection
a failure for your collection
lack of meaning no direction
sever brain before infection

her face is like an open book
I'm a scoundrel and a crook
my tribute in the comment section
led to nothing but rejection
open chrome and instagoogle
flaming hair and freckled booble
get rekt 'til eye of the storm
not an exception but the norm
she'd be my wife I'd love her gently
sometimes you just take a selfie

A hug for the
soul
that's how she described it
warm
a feeling I'd never
known
until
she told me she loved me
even
more
than her morning coffee
