My Pet Peeves
The words are poison in my cerebrospinal fluids
All this nonsense, I can’t see through it
These abstract situations we are taught to master
Putting on a well rehearsed act (impending disaster)
An old lady chained to the TV
At least it kills both you and the bee
All sand was once towering rock
I used to care, now I don’t give a fuck
I stopped being who I were just a few days back
Transmogrified by a bone crushing anxiety attack
Left prior self o so far behind
We settle this at dawn, doomtreading mankind
Morality, mortality, at this juncture I can’t care
I give you escape, I give you hope, I give you castles out of air
Stares of disbelief as clarity disentangles my existence
Black flags, teargas canisters, futile resistance
My friends think that I’m going batshit insane
Dwindling interpersonal relationships, I treasure those that remain
Granted, I’m in free fall, distant at best
My quarterlife crisis a very unwelcome guest
One puff and everything was clear
I’m dancing on the tip of an ICBM spear
On top of some world, give me some more of that
Contraband psychoactive makes me a pretty open-minded cat
Falling in and out of rabbit holes
Pavement coming straight up through my soles
Essence, substance, pessimistic with a smile
Hide away, hide awhile
All through the night, superimposed revelations
Fighting my way through centuries worth of insinuations
Twitching on the floors, cleansed by the rain
To reset the human brain
Rising sun fostering something in mellow little me
The will to change, the will to be
Ignore the pain, savor the pleasure
Enjoy your life under monstrous pressure
