Will

it's like but it's not

By BrenPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

trying to shake off

this shitty shroud

this thing

that hangs on me

and claws at me

like a worn out shriek

from a sore throat

trying to shake off

this mood

just trying to break free

this latest encompassing bout

of lethargy

caught between not caring

and not giving a fuck

approaching the edge

but the brakes are dodgy

anything is liable to happen

anything that can possibly go wrong

will

that'd be nice for a change

who do i see to arrange

i know it may seem strange

but it was cleverly deranged

i was drinking and driving

not paying attention

and got pulled over

in a state i can tell you

i said you'd better test me for drugs as well

and they did

i passed

no kidding

they got me for stuff they didn't even have

"how are you able to drive on pcp and crack?"

they asked and i replied

"huh drive what?"

tested in the red

i’m shakin in my head

i got done for everything they said

and i blew

.

!

just proving that even stupid is better

than being depressed

and it doesn't have to make sense

or mean anything,

it just is

and my mood

has now

elevated

somewhat.
