Nothing Two Loo's!

It's humiliating
Having to ask
Everywhere i go
For a 'neutral' loo
Basically
One loo, or three
Will do
But number two's
If only two loo's
Nothing, two loo's!

Not being happy isn't a death sentence, it's a life sentence!

Ughhhh

When people,
Pretend they're not jerking off to you,
Act like they're trying to help.

Praise Jeebus!

Scream Dream

Last night
My nightmare
Was about something true
Nothing left
To misconstrue
Reality
Within a dream
Is enough
To make me scream....

Success Failure Squeaky Door

Fixed a squeaky door

Expect the squeak anyway
Somewhat disappointed
Success

Short

I’m giving up on you and me
For my own sanity  
Afraid we’ve only caused each other pain  
Relentless to let our love die in vain

Hypertrichosis and cola

Phimosis,
cirrhosis or
osteoporosis,
however,
a nevermoredyingosis
is the main disease.

Bursitis,
sinusitis or
rhinitis,
just like that,
the completestupidititis
is the endemic disease.

Broken wifi

The Wi-Fi is broken!
They broke the Wi-Fi!
Pending downloads.
As it craves for more.
Closed eyes.
Transmission blocked.
Finished.
It is all over!
Broken software!

escapism

caught a bus
went to the shop
bought a bottle of scotch
and a newspaper

full of bad stuff
but I still bought it
for the football

These chains

Get these chains out of me!
I want to dissolve!
A color in the painting,
A note in the accord,
A string in the harp,
Breathe!
Feel it all!
Mean dark veil!
Burden of slavery!

Shards

When i reflected
Upon the last year
I found the mirror
Cracked
Wherein lay
A myriad of distorted memories
Upon every broken shard
As parts of me
Lay scattered
Upon the wasteland
Of my existence

Fragile Existence

life is paper thin
a little tear
changes everything
