There's Nothing Wrong With Me

There's Nothing Wrong With Me

A Poem by J.J. Matthews
"

It's true though, don't judge people.

"

My favourite word is genocide.

Don’t bother asking why,

If I’m honest, I don’t know either.

I don’t think it's the sound,

Or the letter.

It sure as hell isn’t the definition.

But I promise,

There’s nothing wrong with me.


I once wondered what the first word was,

When people describe me.

I asked some friends.

The most common word I heard?

Evil.

I guess that’s understandable.


My humour can speak for that.

Some people are partial to slapstick,

Others much prefer dick jokes.

My hallmark seems to be,

Anything that people would take literally.

A friend once made a “meme” of me.

It read thusly;

“I s**t on orphans for breakfast”

Classy.

I have no idea what he thought when he made that.

But still, there’s nothing wrong with me.


I get asked one day,

“What’s you’re favourite place in the world?”

Without hesitation my answer was,

Hell.

I didn’t eve think about it before I said it.

I don’t really help myself much do I?

A lot of people seem to doubt there’s nothing wrong with me.


I was told once that I shouldn’t smile.

Why’s that?

“You look like you’re going to sexually assault someone”.

Thanks, I guess. A*****e.

Then I wonder what I look like when I’m not smiling.

“You look like you’re going to murder someone”.

Well then….

There’s definitely nothing wrong with me.


Apparently I always look angry.

Like I got robbed, cheated on,

And then a cat shat in my kettle.

That’s a lot of anger.

Even when I’m clearly happy,

I still look like a criminal.

Apparently.

Is there something wrong with me?


The answer is no.

I’m perfectly fine.

You need to stop investigating.

I am perfectly fine.


I may enjoy horror films,

I may love death metal.

I know I make dark jokes,

I know I always look scary.

But that’s just me

And there’s nothing wrong with me.

As far as I know…


There’s never anything wrong with someone,

Until you make something wrong.

Then they’ll probably stab you in the eyes.
