Straight Talk
Have you ever tried
Assembling a metaphor
Out of what you really feel?
Of course you have.
But I mean,
Have you ever struggled
Keeping it not too abstract
Because you know you're not good enough
To get the message across
Without a little straight talk?
It's like, where do we strike the balance
Between being literal
And being cute,
Or whatever the hell you call it
When you use a word like "flatulence"
Instead of "fart?"
And where do I start,
And how far do I take
Symbolizing my broken heart
Into a jigsaw puzzle, with pieces scattered
Or some shit?
Like if it wouldn't be enough
To just spare the chatter and say,
"This bitch sucked another guy's dick!"
