Army Fatigue

To the fight we go

By savage writerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

going to war, somebody grab my artillery

i’m gonna need some vesthead

i’m duking it out against those who wanna try to keep me silenced

i’m duking it out against those who got a problem with me

i’m duking it out against myself

sprinting thru the streets of Newark in army fatigue

hiding under cellars in army fatigue

suppressing my beliefs and insecurities in army fatigue

i’m gonna get appropriated

i’m gonna get distilled

still can’t win a woman’s heart

doesn’t matter if she’s from Africa or Brazil

Ecuador or Uruguay

i think that i tried to get them all

yet i wasn’t enough for any of them

or i might have been too much for them

i was too much for this one individual in particular,

said her name too many times

knowing that i was too much for them

they opted to just leave me alone

because dealing with a creative genius isn’t everyone’s cup of tea nowadays

it’s only until we start getting money y’all wanna deal with us

it’s only until we get verified that you wanna deal with us

love ain’t for bosses like me

all we’re ever great for is ruling the industries that we work in

and nothing more

don’t even wanna sit at tables with anyone

i feel outcasted

so i will just stand to the side

eat my food in my lap

Hollister jeans as my placemat

while y’all socialize and whatnot

i will just sit at home all alone

high as i don’t know what

and piece together the next masterwork of the century

while y’all out having fun

having drinks and parties

i can never be like any of you because i’m an outcast

i’ve always been that way

i don’t know where i fit in

so i just stand alone

i sit at tables alone

i sit on the bus alone

whenever it’s couples season and everyone is holding hands

i hold mine instead in army fatigue

i harm myself in army fatigue

i loathe myself in army fatigue

i jump from a bridge in army fatigue

i am buried in army fatigue

sad poetry
