Don’t Waste Your Time With This

The putrid sludge metal jazz band that is complacency is one that tears at my seams. 
The ever lasting torture of wanting something to happen, but not necessarily waiting for it...
just living while it doesn't.
That is the thorn underneath my finger nail, that is my razor burn on my Adam's apple. 

The "it" that is later to become mine, is the thing that continues to allude me.
I am a bag of bones in the driver seat of a semi truck with no where to go. 
I'm stuck in drive and every wheel is screaming for a unique destination--
I remain glued to the spot from which I started...forgetting how to work a fucking steering wheel.

A simple truth in an obvious breath: our world is ending.
Our brains are nothing but mucus, and our actions are nothing but empty likes and shallow comments.
We are addicted to the college dropout porn machine in our pocket,
and yet, we still think people need to care how hot we are
and yet I still think people need to care about what I have to say.
