As Bob Dylan Would Say,

I know a man who lives his life off of sadness
All the badness he’s ever felt is vocalized and ageless
He talks a clean tongue with his pity hung
In shows of self loathing to which he’s so accustomed to
And he sleeps in a twenty first century tomb
With dusty Malibu bottles atop drawers in the room
Posters of animators, tales of the noon
He isn’t in a storybook but he’ll be joining them soon
And my father is a man with a twinkle in his eye
Living off the American lie, to which he’d stubbornly defy
All anguish and pain expressed in simplistic jest is tormented,
Dementedly lame, he’s got a purple heart and a mix of red and green in the veins
He befriends the insanes, the lost and takes reigns
Like a ring leader to those fallen apart, with a handle on their recovery cart
As if divinity were his art
I fell in love with a phantom
Both blind and dumb, she could not see the sun
And I was giving her all the rays she could ever praise,
All the sunny days, I could afford, and good lord, it didn’t matter
It was not what she’d been after; she wore a clinic visit veil
She was so pale; I entered just to fail, into a cycle, a life and a lie
I’d try, I’d loose hope, I’d learn to cope, and if ever she needed to hang
You know I’d be her rope
I am a concept, a visible disease,
I was born to please, to appease you
My writing is a literal heartbreak and a recorded history
Of suicidal tendency, martyrdom and dependency
I use to smile, I turned vile, I watch the news just to cry
And I’ll deny the truth up and down for the world that I see
I’ll kiss my enemy, entrance all visibly
And in permanent text, I’ll morn sex, the lost of a spiritual world
I’ve been hurled into the subconscious and to be honest,
It’s anything but harmless,
Jesus, get out while you still can, you’ll thank me I promise

Good Job
