II
Born and raised in the ‘burbs of Chicago, I knew what it was like to glanced over.

Rarely picked in the crowd, always slightly below average, nothing special.

There’s bigger and better things out there- but only for those who go above and beyond.

I’m simple         not a kiss ***, therefore not liked much.

My friends have never stuck around too long because of my “loose cannon” mouth and my pissy attitude.

I’m the reality no one wants in their life,
Their daily dose of negative,
I’m the reason they need a way to escape reality, ways to escape me.

Drugs and alcohol, what a sext that sentence is. The daze and trance you go

to prevents reality from ever striking, prevents me.
