Image for the poem the one thing you don

the one thing you don't write about

how horrible you are!  
mirrors crack upon your gaze and split you in two  
yelling and throwing tantrums, almost begging you  
to vanish from their reflections, so they can heal again  
the ugly truth - a part of the festering pile of shit you really are  
want more? sure  
 
you write about how wonderful a brand new day in your life is!  
 
-this is happening in an E.R. at 4:00 AM - no subtext  
 
last night was the best ever! drums, drugs, toxicity and debauchery  
 
-you beat the land lady to within an inch of her life, then  
ran from the cops for 4 miles, after which  
you fell down 4 flights of stairs in the park because  
you couldn't see the railing properly - no subtext  
 
new update! 158 people followed you.  
 
you're a success. your blog is on fire. next day 281, day after - 590.  
you post pictures of yourself with women getting shitfaced and sleazy  
 
-you didn't score with either - no subtext  
 
you write old quotes that nobody's heard in ages  
 
-said you started a trend and took pride in it - subtext  
 
you post made-up chats with horny women trying to come on to you while you're playing it cool  
 
-it was your pen pal asking you to stop being a fake cause she believes in who you actually are,  
so you tell her to fuck off and block her. - no subtext  
 
the one thing you don't write about is why you are such an asshole  
in a world full of assholes with nothing better to do  
than entertain others with a shit load of lies  
simply for the sake of recognition
