SWAGGGGGGGGGGGG
masquerade
the lost ones brigade
you pronounce yourself loudly
and yet few receive you
espoused to your own lies
no one believes you
You make proclamations
That none of us heed to
Royalty’s fool
You need more people
conscious delusion
the silent obtrusion
jokes on the wise
from the brilliantly stupid
the delicate warrior
armor exposed
hell’s euphoria
heaven’s hoes
bang.
bang.
bang.
bang.
bang.
the sound of the headboard
the sound of your prime
runaway seeking
only to find
the worst isn’t elsewhere
It’s you the whole time
the worst isn’t elsewhere
It’s you the whole time
fantasy escape
from all the self-hate
in a world you create
nothing has to be true
no ugly
no cold
no meaningless
you.
some buy coats
to wear
others ride tails
& pretend the coat’s theirs.
Which are you?
