<< EJ's Poems
all day i sit in fear of losing it
again
i lie to myself and say that it's alright but i know
that one day soon
maybe even tomorrow it will come
one day soon
my wounds will reopen
they haven't healed
and my blood congeals
i sit outside smoking
got the money from my mom
all of this time been joking
that nothing has been wrong
and i sit on the ground crying
my head in my hands
i just want to get out
don't even want to change
i cannot take it anymore
my life's too strange
i sit around all day
the caffeine keeps me up
i don't even have a job
and i don't even give a fuck
and now i sit at home
drinking all this fucking tea
life just isn't working for me
i can't get away from it
it seems that everything i touch
just turns into shit
and i sit down
on the ground
crying with my head upon my hands
and i shout out for an answer out across
the land
why did things have to be like this?
why does me tea always taste like fucking piss?
all of the meaning, the joy it has been lost.
now all the feeling that i have is a rush of caustic smoke
in my lungs
as i breathe in once again
and i tell myself tomorrow i will go outside
and look for that job
