What the fuck have you got to be sad about?
Why the fuck aren’t you happy?
Brat.
Spoilt brat.
What are you staring at?
You’ve seen the depths
so jump in.
People have it much worse than you.
Can’t even finish a thought?
What next,
can’t get it up?
You’re not a real man.
You’re just not strong enough to do the decent thing.
You don’t deserve it.
You can’t change.
So let your teeth rot in your maw
and watch your hair fall out
in those unfaced, blank slate
sertraline dreams.
All the trees will grow to the sun
but all the roots bury deep.
