Queen for a day, fool for a lifetime
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a hug
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 obnoxious girl" 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...

Narcissus
Akin to a peacock, prancing gracefully,
With a dazzling allure
That blinded the besotted eyes,
Looking upon them with disdain.
Smitten with his own image,
When the pool cast back his charm,
He pined away, sunken in vanity,
Sprouted the Narcissus flower
From his self-consumed, seedless soul.
With a dazzling allure
That blinded the besotted eyes,
Looking upon them with disdain.
Smitten with his own image,
When the pool cast back his charm,
He pined away, sunken in vanity,
Sprouted the Narcissus flower
From his self-consumed, seedless soul.

Vanity
Power to the people who see through the lie
Some of us know that it’s merely a parlor trick
Taxes fuel frustration choking out the little guy
Resulting in more money for that wealthy prick
It seems the rest of the population remain lost
Making choices difficult while feeding insanity
Looking in the mirror reveals what choices cost
Realizing we live in a world that caters to vanity

The Shaggy D.A.
Famous MAGA piece of shit Gaetz
reminds us to be wise with votes
lest we wind up with reprobates
shaming daughters with shameless gloats,
which speak to his priorities,
for underage activism...
as merely bro proclivities
for ill suited public jism,
of which the citizens have heard
enough to think his word absurd
and that he is the biggest turd
to ever chase a teenage bird...
and if he could she'd be his slave
leftover from a MAGA rave.

Private Jets
Private jets
And chemtrails
Flying first class
45 minutes to my house
1 percent carbon footprint
132 times more than you
Caviar and silk robes
Paid for by your local mailman
Billions and billions
Can’t wrap my mind around
But they leave the check for the rest of us
And tweet about bullshit
They think is important
But not in my world
Have a birthday of decadence
Jet set to opulence
Must be nice for a peasant
Close as you get
Be their servant
Pick up...

Brooklyn's Last Exit
Gang rape America is here to stay
proudly declared by each sick MAGA vote
influenced by meme mechanical rote
all the storm trooper night and half the day.
So now our boys can fuck the MAGA way
or grab some Hollywood Access tail
to fuck on a third political rail
just to find out what the homies will say
since nothing matters to the MAGA mind
where..."sucks to be you"...always plays through.
(We can't have their precious balls turning blue
when a hard working dude needs to unwind).
Just find someone...

Retiring Minds
Trump's a freak for speed, like his Nazi muse,
and mien apples plummet close to the plan
whereby injustice lights a public fuse
to stroke the puny ego of a man
willing to extinguish millions of lives
in the service of nostalgic notions
cherry picked from the dubious archives
of baby-boom perma-fry devotions
who wouldn't trust people over thirty
when they were protesting a war
the establishment made down and dirty
like a coked-up big business Wall Street whore.
The decades didn't alter morality
as much as...

Beauty Shell
Beauty shell
Ugly frame
Beauty shell
Ugly on display
Beauty in a shell
Nut comes out
Not so pretty
Not so pretty
Pretty ugly
Pretty ugly
Gorgeous in grace
Shameless displays
Puppet on string
Reeling daddy in
See beauty in her eyes
But her gaze can disguise
Pretty pumpkin on a shelf
Withers and dies on my cross
See light in her
But she dimmers
Takes me for a fool
Takes me back to school
Beauty in shards of glass ...

Tap Drips
The mirror mockingly reflects back at me,
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye
I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye
I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...

2011 met it's been an adventure
my soul weeps because you will never really know me
you won't come in close enough to love me in my sacredness
you make assumptions and put a scarlet letter on me
because no matter what your soul says
you come close enough just to spy on my pain
pick me up off the ground as you're running by
I guess I should be grateful
like it or not I've been watching you
if you think I don't fit with the mainstream you're right
you do because you put business man outfit and personality
and I'm sure that is legit
but you completely cut out...
