Something Wonderfully Unattempted

I am working to insulate myself from all of these people

I am waiting until I have earned my own piece of silence

I could try to fit in

I will say I am here to save your world

I have played the game of popularity

I have pretended to love

I am here to be another life overcome

Since I know I’ll die in my own time

I strive for it

I drink cheap wine and great whiskey

I am the obstacle before myself

I am the only one I love

As I have stated

I aim to further myself from normalcy and mediocrity

Of course, something, something

So you can relate

A political statement to mirror the times

Adhering to the code of the literary gatekeepers

And the word fuck to ensure you believe I am rebellious

Upon review,

Nothing

I am working to save a world I don’t like

I am waiting until I have earned my own death
