Writers, by birth

We were born writers,

insane already when our mothers were aching

to sent us out in the world

relieve their personal catharsis.

Little did they knew

that this was the beginning of their pain.

 

Their suffering, starts from childbirth

and lasts till the moment they die.

Our girlfriends will make the same mistake

as our mothers;

falling in love

believing in the ***

in the future entwined

around us

and

some,

at least one will make

the statutory mistake of bearing our child

the trojan horse for the end.

 

We, are like parasites

we **** food, water, shelter

we nourish in beauty, warmth and care

and yet when we find open exposed skins

floating on blue, timid waters

we have nothing better to do.

 

words are our weapons,

our friends, our nemesis

our route to fame and

the very real lack of it.

 

We smash everything around us,

people ****** into day jobs around us

suffer

forget the daily bliss of life

if they share a conversation

forget more

if they dare share a kiss

a personal intimation.

 

Besides, we are depressed souls.

Repressed

sexually charged

impotent

and

ugly, repugnant

narcissists.

 

We sit in coffee shops

with our personal diaries

and create and destroy the future

of the tomorrow

that reads,

believes in us.

 

Every inch of caffeine

makes us **** out hate

and

spill out so much guts

that people who read us

squirm like acid burns.

 

We create hypes,

fool around with Nietzscheian ideas,

existential crap

but all we are doing

is creating a device

for shameful procrastination.

 

The world was not built around us

No world will

Whatever we think

we scoop up earthly dust

our jobs are but the

position of glorified

janitors.
