a first-timer's foray into stupid fucking free-verse piece-of-shit poetry

i really hate silence
no, like really
i really hate silence

it's not right
an absence to be filled
a box to be packed in

silence is unnatural
it shouldn't exist
the air around you is always bustling with sounds

the wind flirting with your earlobes
like joey tribbiani
"how you doin'?"

birds chirping in the air
maybe they're a married couple bickering
or newlyweds, enamored with the rush of young love

i slowly push in my earbuds
like an IV needle sinking into a vein
push play, start the drip
let the drug flow through

juice wrld - robbery


"she told me put my heart in the bag"

she was the ocean
i was a lone boat
rocking, rocking, rocking
with the tide

"and nobody gets hurt"

but someone did
the ancient, arcane sea
boat sinking, sinking, sinking
to its watery grave

"and it's a gift and a curse"

it really was
never was i more scared and excited
at the same time

i'm bored
skip

debussy - rêverie, l 68

concrete edifices

obscured by the gray clouds of fog

like a manhattanese avalon

i fall into a contemplative mood.

mozart - symphony no 40, mvt 1

fuck
it's mozart
skip

r.i.p. - playboi carti

bass resonating
my ears are set ablaze
eardrums throbbing
but it feels good.

a blood-red mist covers my world
a carnal might courses through my veins

it's here, it's here
it's baying for blood
my id breaks into my headspace
freud's demon
that which makes me human

and for a few brief moments
through the throbbing bass
through carti's unintelligible verses
i hear that miserable tide
of human rage and misery

my brain is fucked up dude.
but either way
it's a fucking party.

i am. - jorja smith

i keep walking
and suddenly i feel a weight
creeping on my bones

my own sorrow, magnified
but by what? a lens
in my ears

Battery low.

fuck
almost there anyway
might as well
take them off and shut it off
