I'm really trying
not
to be jaded and
disappointed by
everyone else
as they tread water
flinging political
tweets
like daggers
and passive facebook
statuses like
gospel
and I can't help
but feel
disgusted
at everything
all
McDonalds and chrome
shiny and beautiful
shades of dried blood
on our hands and lips
and all I can do
I pretend I'm not a part
of that
as my car is littered
with fast food garbage
and my thoughts littered
with judgements against
people I've never met
and I write
poetry
instead of bleeding
out
because this feels
just a little bit
better
