A Pessimistic Leaf on the MotherF*cking WindA Poem by Dennis ShanabergAll the world’s a sham And f**k it, I don’t give a damn. I could be happy doing nothing on my own Cuz there’s these people that I’ve known And I’ve always called them friends-- Said they’d be there to the end But where the f**k are they now I don’t know. I’ve lost track of so much and so many And now I sometimes fear I don’t have any One to share this with This dirty little life That I’ve made with loss and lies. One day I will die all alone With every single thing that I have ever known. I’m a whisper in the dark world I’m a shadow in the night I’m a leaf on the wind Blowing away into the skies This’ll be my final flight. Oh-This is my last night. I have had a lot of mistakes Eaten that which those seeds had made The bed I sleep in Is one that I made with my sin. And I’m okay with this I’ll say again That I’m nothing more than the places I’ve been The people I’ve done, and the things I’ve seen-- And maybe all my dreams But those I’ve yet to achieve. And the more I see of me The less I think those are more likely. Could call it pessimism But I’m a sorry guy. Who likes the night time Cuz he hates the light. I’m a whisper in the dark world I’m a shadow in the night I’m a leaf on the mother f*****g wind Blowing away into the skies This’ll be my final flight. Oh-This is my last night. This’ll be my final lie, I think this is where I die. © 2013 Dennis Shanaberg |
