DRUNKEN APOLOGY; TRYING TO FIND MEANING WITHOUT BEING MEAN

i apologized to you that one time,
thinking i’d never have to do it,
ever again,
so what do you mean?
are you trying to say that i’m going to have to
keep apologizing until i stop making the same damn
mistake over and over again?
because if that’s the case,
then i don’t know,
i just don’t know,
but i think i might have to give this whole thing
some serious reflection,
though maybe i’ll just play cod and drink vodka mixed with monster energy drinks
to get a good buzz going

THINK ABOUT; NO WAIT, DON’T

if you think about it,
then not thinking about it
is the greatest meditation that doesn’t seem all that achievable,
but still think,
keep thinking,
just don’t say anything about it,
and no one will catch on to how much you don’t know
what you’re talking about

THE ENDING IS ALL RUINED NOW

ruin the ending by telling everyone
what’s going on,
so there’s no surprise ending,
and everyone looks back at you, glaring,
with daggers in their pupil,
that don’t look as sharp
because eyes are round, and don’t have clear edges
