Welcome to the wreckage of me
languishing beneath
this deafening monotony
My life has become nothing
but a blaring white noise symphony
An unrelenting static blasting cacophony
playing out as background filler
to drown out the silence
where all my past life regrets
have taken up permanent residence
And yet
things could always be worse
as I soothe my self induced pain
with trite time tested cliches
Counting my blessings
while we gather ye fucking rosebuds
Why the Hell would I want to do that
when this languishing self pity
keeps me toasty warm
with all my fellow
downtrodden soul mates
huddled together
at the Woe Is Me tavern?
Pumping up the frivolity
as the jukebox howls
much needed insulation
Now the drinks flow freely
Her perfume ignites
my raging testosterone
for yet another round
of shared carnal distraction
wrapped in sheets sweat stained
Morning comes as it always does
as we put away our toys
to the all too stagnant
back to the grind refrain
Pain is our partner beast
to be temporarily restrained
even if living numb
is the only way
