Wanna Lose Dignity?

Yesterday I freaked out.

She told me to breathe.

But that didn't make sense.

I breath all the time.

At least if I held my breath,

I could get high off of it.

 

I once met a guy who was high on life

He ate the sun

And bathed in the wind

He might have worn tree bark

But I think he was just *****

He said in order to be one with yourself

You have to be one with all.

 

I don't think anyone wants to be one with

Themselves

We love other people's attention to much.

Thats why we stand in front of a mirror and list our flaws

That way we actually have something to talk about

I could bend over backwards to look

But all I'd see is everything upside down

 

I don't like being upside down

Cuz I know the other way is right side up

I don't like the other way

I like my way

Its luxury of design

I draw my life...sometimes there is sketch marks

But that's cuz I'm not a printer.

 

I don't particularly care for printers.

They make odd noises that sound too much

Like invader robots.

I've seen too many machine rising movies.

And I think I have seen the printer glare at me.

Probably cuz I kicked it.

It printed obscenities at me.

 

Speaking of obscene

You're probably wondering if this little piece of writing

Has a purpose.

Without further suspense I'm glad to announce it doesn't.

Why you even read it I couldn't begin to answer.

Why I wrote it is as mysterious as bologna.

 

I don't have much time left to write.

Probably a good thing because I don't have much

Write left to time.

But I implore that if you have read this that if any of it made

Sense.

Its about time to switch therapists.
