Polby Saves

For the sake of this 'conversation' (read: mild power struggle)
You're right. 'I don't really mean all that'
I'll agree, concede....Pretend I do not
If it puts color back in your cheeks
...

The mind doesn't Reel
It Clacks
At or near the frontal lobe
A temple eroding, I suppose
...

I'm surrounded by the sounds of f**king idiocy
The television that never shuts off or up
The moronic laughter at the low brow sit-com
Do you realize the sound you emit
...

Depression is reading bad poetry
Written by merely dysthmic people
Depression is people which does result in
Hell (thanks Jean-Paul)
...

It's not enough to merely speak w/ enthusiasm
Even most 'actions' go unnoticed, unheeded
Hate to say it, a succession of blunt force
Possibly perceived as violent
...

Sometime, I'll sleep and have dreams
A dream in which I'll be engaging in sex
With the loose folds of skin and cellulite
around Maya Angelou's neck
...

I had a dream and in it someone told me that you had died
In this dream I didn't ask why, figured i knew
Didn't want to press it
So having not heard from you for several months
...

Moving, riding, dysthmically along
I semi-smiled at a girl on each block
Everytime we were made to stop
The attractive ones
...

My To Do List
...

Inasmuch as I would like to believe you
In the spirit of keeping things light
Cognitive dissonance is shaking me honest
Let's not continue this plight
...

I have fallen
Strewn
The pieces that are left of me
Won't do what they're told
...

Exclamation points are little lies we tell each other
In this digital age it's easier to feign surprise or excitement
When in actuality, nothing surprises anyone anymore
Now - disgust, apathy and scarily even hate
...

. glum, morose, surly, sulky, crabbed, saturnine, gloomy mean showing a forbidding or disagreeable mood. sullen implies a silent ill humor and a refusal to be sociable
I'M BECOMING UNWOUND
. glum suggests a silent dispiritedness. morose adds to glum an element of bitterness or misanthropy
I NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN
...

In that awful, awkward silence
I'll speak up, I like to break things
Down, even further
A quarter past any given half hour
...

I want to forget
Not have to worry about
...
