Late Stage Emo Phase

can't spell poem without emo

By Aaron MorrisonPublished 7 months ago • 1 min read
art by me

Always been partial to Nu Metal pissed

But there’s more than one way to ball up your fist

My current playlist

Less Limp Bizkit

And more La Dispute

I search for movie quote edits

To make me cry ‘til I puke

Took an online quiz

And I’m a high percentage

Hate my mom and dad?

Check

Are you always sad?

Check

And I still dream about her

And how she made me feel

Like a child in the womb

Dependent

My throat going hoarse from

Waxing poetic

With overwrought metaphors

About flooding rivers

And hemorrhaging hearts

My cold, numbing fingers

Stitching up scars

I’ll never recover

From missing my core

Every day’s bleeding

And just the slamming of doors

And I don’t like how the guyliner is starting to talk

Like the Green Goblin mask

Though I’ve never worn makeup

Or dyed my hair black

Guess it’s never too late

To embrace change

Some dudes hang out in bars

Or buy fancy cars

I’m thinking about black shirts

Red ties

And brushing my hair

In front of my eyes
