Consider the Opposite

by astronormie

I spit words of disgust To conceal my heart covered with rust. I may be known as a bad mouthed asshole, but dear I am just being truthful. Euphemisms? I’ve had enough of that. I see no need of sugarcoating words For it just washes brains, somewhat. Insincerity built through words that are too easy to afford. “I say words contrary to what I feel,” Strength from pretentious lips. It’s not what I feel for real, but it prevents the red liquid and its drips. So if you see me in the streets, smiling and screaming at the top of my lungs that, "I feel so alive!" Honey, please consider the opposite.
