If only the Lonely would get to know Me

if only in memory I can come to admire and adore
the people I met who taught me so much more
about rules I would continue to break “just because”
and how things like fruit and flowers even had laws
of course everything I learned came at a cost
mostly entertainment value for them as I lost
everything, I couldn’t even save face back then
I was, just, some punch line for every one of them
but I did learn a lot and even started to grow
eager to hear the tiniest hint of approval as though
they were the masters of my newly acquired hobby
more often than not all I heard sounded snobby
as if they knew everything, well maybe they did
but they didn’t know me or how I learned as a kid
that seeking approval only leads to resentment
I stopped trying to be liked finding excitement
with doing things my way, fuck them all anyway
most of them hated me, but some started to say
less about me personally, more about my poetry
I earned respect from a few which meant more to me
than all the cheap shots from the snide majority
Gypsy was my sensei along with Oliva my best frenemy
CdP, Delph and Steve were always pretty nice to me
I’ll never forget the writing challenge with JBond
the best rap I ever wrote, but he could only respond
by showing me his dick, which (unlike him) left me dangling
I was told I won, but if that was supposed to be motivating
I missed the class about how motivation felt
all I wanted was acceptance, all I got was guilt
**ah shit, here we go once again
with “someone” breaking in
so pardon me while I get rid of him**

you fucking piece of shit you really need to stop
I’m holding many gats, I don’t need a fucking cop
remember, and don’t forget, I know where you live
as well as all of “them”(the fucktards that you hid)
I’m nowhere near the same person I was before
me and my criminally inclined boy left for Ecuador
no-nee-no-no-no you wannabe, dope dealer
I’m on a whole shit-ton of killer pain killers
and you never really had an opportunity to see
how I, actually, get and who becomes the “real me”
when the opioid, benzo, muscle relaxing, Adderall
“cocktail” party makes me the “Belle, baller at the ball”
a, truly, sad sight to behold since I can no longer breathe
anyone who HAS seen me jacked knows it’s best to leave
so keep on keeping on you fucktarded piece of meat
you and I officially proved, “you are what you eat”
because you’re a giant pussy and I’m a big, fat dick
which of us has the handicap when shit starts getting thick?
like Jesus – I’m beginning to speak in parables
for a world of people who are so damn pitiful
people like you who like to screw people like me over
I carried that cross for fucking years AND I did it sober
so I’ve made a decision about taking drugs for pain
I’ll take as many as it takes to stop the function in my brain
stop receiving the signals telling me to hate life once again
God showed me I’m not meant to die so I never refrain
I’m not fucked up like you, I feel nothing for or about you
nor about who you may or may not decide to screw
I have no care for your whereabouts or anything like that
the only reason for any curiosity I, previously, had
was to see if you had finally gotten past
the feeling that I owed you until I took my last
breath or whatever bull shit caused you to
fuck with me daily because I never owed you
anything, we were pretty even if score was being kept
(not by you, either, idiot – God is who I meant)
had we kept track, honestly, you’d see you owe me big
it’s likely your unable to see I want nothing from a pig
I know you’re not able to understand what I was feeling
but, you’ll know soon enough about how I was dealing
I cannot die to save my life so I know I can’t go near
my suicidal thoughts so, whatever happens, I’ll be here
at least until my son is fully grown, able to make it on his own
only then, if I can’t keep going, I’ll be as good as gone
do you feel better now you gigantic, narcissistic bitch?
I wasn’t lying when I told you, I don’t give a fucking shit
it’s impossible for things to mean a thing to the new, old me
I have enough “chemicals” to run my fun fact-story
