I know 
I can only write from my own perspective 
To say differently would be a pretense 
So here's a poem about me 

My brain is a sieve 
With holes one size too large 
My brain is my childhood dog 
Buried in a box in my backyard 

And if I've hurt your little life 
And live like I've forgot 
Well, that's because i have 

Yes. 
I have made mistakes 
Mistakes that will come to light 
"Tell me more, tell me more, 
Did she put up a fight?" 

But they all made a choice 
Oh, and they all chose to stay 
And I can't take the blame 
They put themselves in my fucked up way 

Am I better now? 

Have you noticed that on cereal boxes 
We always anthropomorphize the cereal itself 
Wheaties with legs and eyes and catchphrases 

Isn't that funny that 
We humanize everything we plan to consume 

I was born 
Thankfully, I will die 
And not one profound thing 
Will I have said in the interim 

My words will dissolve into blood 
My yellow teeth in the sanguine flood 
Still chipped and raw 

Still dripping with the love 
The love of better men 
Still sharpened down to points 
To better sink them in 

Don't trust a word i say 
It's not that they're lies 
They're just the kinds of truths 
That lead to a sadder life 

Am I better now?
