Dear life why do you have to be so long?
Like the rope around my neck that you keep stepping on.
Give me some slack and my pride back
Stop living your life through mine
You had your chance, I'm not your mime.
If you have regrets too late you're out of time
You were denied as a child what a crime
If you keep pushing your shit on me I'll drop a dime
Just to be rid of your ass
and that half empty half full glass
you floated in on like the cube you are
Take your dope and that sorry ass air guitar
You rode in on. You call it an axe so chop chop
Get your axe and chop your wood
Into submission but with your permission
Dear life, why do you have to be so short?
Unlike golf a faux sport that goes on and on and on and on and on
You'll be over before I know it
Just as you were fitting in
it's off to the loony bin
for drugs and restraints
You never claimed to be a saint
No, far from it, you love to sin
If you can win but for you no life as a star
For you it will be pain all you can eat
like a fucking salad bar
Only it comes to you like rain
No veggies just rejection
By the way I never came
I faked every orgasm
In the sack you're kind of lame
You may suck but I swallow
The marrow out of the bones
of the people you claim to love the most
Pull your head out of my ass
burn your own fucking toast you lazy fuck!
Dear life, why do you have to be so hard?
Hard like concrete not like a penis
You may not be dumb but it doesn't take a genius
To fake pleasure, harder to fake pain
Unless you keep some in reserve
You know I have a lot of nerve
but someone needs to say what needs to be said
put a couple of led slugs in my head
make sure I am as good as dead
before you wear my ass as a hat
I must worn you I'm a crazy old bat
that has been hated by far worse then you
pure evil through and through
So you can float to the bottom
Rock bottom so you can begin
To desend don't try to pretend
you were never my friend
this fasade should end
You would rather see me smile with no teeth
then have me see you so far beneath
yourself you're out of reach
Dear life, why do you have to be so cruel?
You should have let me drowned in my own drool.
It's like a piece of you has broke off and is stuck in my throat.
Here take another toke before long you'll get the joke.
To me if you commit it means piss and submit
a sample of my pee, to see
what drugs they can give so I can live
a drug free life is no life for me.
Does anyone have some dirty urine?
I can pay with shit Wednesday for some pee today
Now don't delay my buzz a moment too long
Some may say I have a drug problem
which is true if I don't have any
but as long as I do and not many will hear me say
There will come a day that I will ask
Dear life, why are you such a bitch?
You should have left me in the ditch
you discovered me in
Your excuses wear thin
As my life turns to shit
but you'll never admit
to what you did
behind me you hid like the pussy you are
no accountability for you not even a scar
No, that's for me to bare life isn't fair.
that's why I wonder
Dear life, why do I live?
I have nothing left for you to give
So let's call it good
or bad, come don't be sad
happiness is a choice, unlike the sound of my voice
nagging you to do something anything
just not what you're doing
whatever it is it's hurting me
The longer you hide behind my pride
the more I with draw my support
but I can't report what you done
with you there is no fun, only lies
echoing, vibrating in your endless shallow soul
you need to smoke another bowl
it's the only time the light comes on
behind your cold dead eyes
and the mountain of lies
you sold yourself to your weakness
Dear life, why do you always end?
I know you will but I don't know when
All of a sudden you couldn't speak
wait a while then we'll seek out the leak
What do I have to plug the hole in your soul?
The piece of you that is stuck in my throat?
If I can hack it up but unlike a boat you don't float.
Dear life, why is there so much pain?
That only circles the drain never to go
down only to come back again and again.
As it gains a life of it's own and now it's full grown
Into the monster I am so I ran
but she follows me every where I go
god this part really blows
At least you can get away, how do you think I feel
to live this life that to me is so surreal?
Have you ever heard the saying "you can't rape the willing?"
I became willing so you couldn't be raped
I would rather be a slut then a victim
Especially when the system is set to protect those
that pose the greatest threat.
The wounds won't heal and still don't reveal their origin
It's like an organ full of cancer if not cut out it will spread
like the disease life is.
Dear life, how do we undo what we have done?
How will our children feel when there is no sun?
How do we tell them that they inherit all our wealth
but none of it will buy back their health?
It's best to separate ones self from the crimes
others have committed
"guilty by association" as the saying goes
I have no children to explain this big pile of shit to
unlike you who has way to much to explain yet don't
Dear life, how can I like you when you're temparary?
You're trying to set me up for a big fall.
but first let's recall what got us to this point
Too soon ago for me to remember unless I smoke a joint
I don't do that any more but I do miss the floor
I crawled on when I couldn't find the door
or my feet for which I could stand
would it kill you togive me a hand?
Never mind I'll just land
with my back to the floor
It's closer to hell from where I fell.
Blahblahblahblah
is all I hear you say
You're just talking from the rear until you tell me
what I want to hear.
What that is I have no idea but I'll know it when I hear it.
My life is already half over if I live to be a hundred and sober
I won't pretend that I can wait
To catch a buzz but if I were
still high I would be late to my own fate; death
that's it take another breath
which only brings you closer to the abyss
that when it looks back at me it sees only emptiness
Dear life, do you even know what you are doing?
And in closing, please answer soon
because I'm not getting any younger.
Your most optimistic, pesimist V.
