[Insert Kick-Ass Tittle Here]

"The devil you know is better than the devil you don't" (1)    
I don't agree with that,              
My devil is a lying, mother fucking dick!              
I would kill him if I had the chance!              
His name doesn't start with an "L",              
It starts with an "S".              
And no, I'm not talking about Satan!      
I'm talking about myself.              
The self is a liar,              
An asshole,              
A lazy cheater,              
A... Devil.              
These idle hands do only my work...(2)              
             
"The wise man knows that he knows nothing..."(3)              
That's a sad truth.              
I know nothing,              
Yet,              
I don't feel wise,              
I feel pitiful.              
I want to know,          
When I close my eyes,          
I want to know why I'm suffering      
             
"Fake tear can hurt others, but fake smiles hurt only yourself" (4)              
I can't say I'm done with smiling.              
Fake smiles may only hurt myself,              
But I guess it's a good day to be a masochist.              
No,          
I'm fine,          
Yeah-no...          
I'm perfectly...          
Why the fuck do you ask?!            
   
"God is dead and we killed him" (5)              
Nietzsche, calm your tits.    
I don't feel like a god slayer,              
He may have not even lived in the first place.              
I was raised Christian              
Despite being born as a skeptic.              
I definitely killed Santa,              
But not God.              
No, he's a 4000 year old man              
That is used for tax evasion.        
         
"The world isn't as bad as you think it is" (6)       
If it's even 1% like my delusion then it's still hell,      
I know hell pretty well,  
If you ask me.    
I've been to hell and back so many times the ferry man knows my name,      
That's like when the dude at McDonald's knows you're pretending to order for two people,      
It's just wrong.  
This world is wrong.    
       
"What's the difference between lawyers and hookers? A hooker will stop screwing you when you're dead." (7)    
I can't argue that      
Like how psychiatrists are glorified drug dealers.      
This country has a problem, it rhymes with rugs,        
I'm not talking about Marry Jane or Molly.        
I'm talking about the thought censors and mind suppressants.
Police may be trigger happy with guns but psychiatrists are trigger happy with pens.        
   
My name is Spitz and I am a demon.        
Not human anymore  
Most of the people here aren't human cause if you are what you eat...      
Then most of you would be cows, pigs and vegetables like you "should be"      
Take a step forward,  
Eat the sin or a human,  
To become human or demon,
Respectively.

(1) That's originally how I heard the proverb, "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know"              
             
(2) I referenced the saying, "Idle hands do the devils work (or biding; I've heard it many different ways)"              
             
(3) A saying that was derived from Socrates              
             
(4) Code Geass, said by CC              
             
(5) Nietzsche's famous quote              
   
(6) A line said by my therapist  
   
(7) One of the numerous lawyer jokes           
             
*Author's note: If you saw my last poem and are wondering what happened to it, I deleted it. I was not proud of it and it didn't help me. This is a rewrite of that piece and a reflection on sayings/quotes that I used to and/or still live by.
