Im a Grouch. On the inside I try to be a lot of things, I try to be a good friends, a good, listener To be generous and forgiving, try to be a, man of my word I try to be all these things. That would be easy if I wasn't so angry "Your a grouch, go live in a trash can" Nothing could be more accurate eh? A receptacle for the worst of people A place for them to discard the spent little pieces of themselves Crumpled up and thrown away. You become filled with that. The wrong stuff You become a discarded napkin on the inside Coffee and lipstick stains the echoes of rough mornings and old heartache. Other people throw those things away and move on. But you, their ******* bin are forced to hold on to those past aggressions Is it any wonder I'm so angry? Were all like that, memory is garbage. A festering old sandwich in a bin that clearly reads, paper only, recycle please.

Use your inside grouch
