PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i've just been thinking about life

i can't figure most of it out

but one thing i do know is that

it's nothing like i expected it to be

and i'm ringing customers up at

my second job

and they're all dressed up and happy

on their way to a halloween party

i keep thinking that these are kids my age

i should be going out like them

but the mother fuckers ransacked

the halloween isle

so... i'll have to stay a half hour late again

to clean it all up again

while they're all out partying

and in the morning?

when i come back to work again

there will be a note for me

saying my area was messy

and i'm like what the fuck?

i stayed late and didn't take my last break

to pick up all that shit

so that's just bull shit man

and everyone keeps calling me a screw up

asking why i can't do anything right

well what the fuck ever

no one is perfect

and i'm fucking tired

of working so hard for nothing

because it seems like one bill after another

that all my money goes to

and i'm trying to remember why i'm doing this

why i'm putting up with everything

and i keep thinking about my sisters

saying they don't have this or that for school

or that they're hungry and there's nothing to eat

and my mom apologizing to me

for having to be my sisters' father

i'm more of a man than you are

you're such a fucking bitch

wouldn't it be nice if you stepped

up to the plate once in a while?

but you won't and we know it

because that's life man

and life fucking sucks

we're already use to it
