King for a day, fool for a lifetime
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a handshake
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That guy" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable to others,
you'll be alone forever!
Rock yourself to sleep,
maybe tomorrow you can try again

Not towards you or anyone here for that matter. Just wrote this with people I've met personally through the years. Many assholes out there.

A sort of bold overtone and attitude to this. People can challenge the way you feel in life. It's not always easy. There is a lot of corruption in the world, and that can be frustrating to tolerate, at least to me. That's just my take. Anyway, nice evocative feel in capturing the emotion you were going for. Thanks for sharing.

More attitude then I can fit on paper. You haven't read some of my other rants. Thanks for the comments.

With recent psychosis, can all too easily apply this to myself... thanks for the comment "Not towards... anyone here". I envy your ardor, but also your forgiveness. After the accusations is advice and 'live and let live'. Without this, those who refuse to suffer others all too easily become insufferable. With both sides of the coin you prove that this is not true of you. Common sense in poetic form.
