the worst

i told myself

never write when you’re angry

but that’s when i needed

to write the most

i hated how this world works

but i didn’t do anything to change it

put the bucket down once at a time

and tried to dry the ocean

close my eyes so i won’t burn them

with the things i’ve seen on the telly

headphones on so i won’t hear

all the gun shots and people dying on the radio

i’m the worst type of people

who would walk over a corpse

so i can keep on living.
