You say you are confused
because I seem to be enjoying
myself in the center of this chaotic vortex
that has become of my life.
What do you want me to do?
Break someones face?
Run naked through the mall?
Go on a hunger strike?
Maybe I should try to commit suicide again
if only it would make you realize
I truly understand the gravity
of the situation I am in.
Honestly, I'm happy because I am here
instead of spending the rest of my life in prison
for a moment of weakness toward
the ails that plaugue me.
Here, I get to listen to music I love;
I get to create wonderful sound with my hands;
I have female companionship.
In short, I have a semblance of a life,
instead of getting shanked int the shower.
I know I may hide when the sadness hits me.
I know my moments of fragility are
kept secret from my friends.
I miss my father more than
anything on this little dirtball.
So you think I'm not taking this seriously?
You think I'm playing a game?
Belay that noise.
Some people can't' let you
Have a squinch of happiness
When you find it.
Like you say mrpoofs.
Belay away.
