For Lack Of A Better Me

I think I've procured myself again

The word 'filth' comes to mind

(For lack of a better word)

 

Yeah, I'm a *****

Unmetalled in the interface

It took yet another 'kind' word

Or should that be 'false' word

To realize what they think of me

 

To think

With their mangled good looks

Ubiquitous in psyche

Like they ever gave a chocolate-flavoured ****

 

Soon they'll all have had a go with me

And i'll become

How do you say? Sui generis?

Numb betwixt the thighs

 

I 'detest' myself

(For lack of a better word)

And I stare at the periwinkle

To find relief

 

And that's still no relief

Because I'm jealous of periwinkle

The capita thinks it's 'beautiful'

And of course 'I am no periwinkle'

(For lack of a better understatement)

 

For lack of a better me.
