That Word

That Word

If I could have one wish
I know what it would be
I'd want to invent the next cuss word
And I'd want it credited to me
A word so filthy & nasty
So descriptive & vile
Could be used so many ways
And would exaggerate my style
When said aloud
People would gasp
The old faint
The young laugh
The mere thought of the word
Will make folks turn red
They will cover their ears
From what I just said
With one shout of that word
Mans blood will boil
Humanity will suffer
From all of the turmoil
Yes that is my wish
And I hope it comes true
Because the world needs
A new cuss word
And that is my view

The Perfect Crime

The Perfect Crime

The perfect crime
She got away with my heart
I watched her take it
Betraying me from the start
I didn't feel anything
As she tore my feelings apart
When we were together
I felt like I could fly
She made me feel so good
Made me feel so high
When I finally crashed
My insides all but died
I felt my chest open
Yet no blood was spilled
Left was an open cavity
Where love once filled
She didn't act alone
For first I had to yield

My Spite

My Spite

A watered down me
And I am to blame
I listened & toned down
But now I feel lame
If I said I could
I guess I lied
I know I can't do it
'Cuz I tried
I think the decision
Is yours to make
Like me as I am
I will not be fake
Loud, loyal, insane
And outspoken
I'll tell you straight up
I know I am broken
Attitude problem?
Probably true
Inflated ego?
What can I do?
I won't sell myself out
Inner peace all I have
Spite myself again
Yet all I do is laugh

Disassociation

Disassociation

Someone tell me
Where to begin
I am so far
From where I've been
I don't know where I am
But what can I do?
It is so hard
To start again new
Sometimes I am at a loss for words
Just don't know what to say
Tired of the game
Don't even want to play
Deal me out
'Cuz I am done
It's no longer worth it
It's no longer fun
I think I will blow off
A week or two
Maybe even all next year
This game ate me up
Now I no longer care
This path I chose
Has lead me astray
Colorless void
My world grey
Don't feel sorrow
I made my own bed
I don't feel bad
For things I've said
Disassociation is now
My only friend
Loyal to no-one
And I won't bend!

Ode to a Cockroach

Ode to a Cockroach

You are such a nasty creature
That is not a lie
If I could just catch you
You would surely die
You scurry around so quickly
Without an ounce of fret
You seem to think I like you
As though you are my pet
If I could I'd smash you
Like a pancake, oh so flat
Then sweep you inconspicuously
Under the welcome mat
I can't be alone here
For you will not leave me be
Because you like to prance around
For everyone to see
So now that you've multiplied
I cannot seem to stay ahead
I see you in the bathroom
I see from my bed
Someday I will move out
And you will win the fight
The only way to not see you
Is to turn off all the lights
