vinyl records

i bought a david bowie record today

and as soon as i opened it

two of the tracks skipped

i guess that's the perfect metaphor for my life

yanno i always try to be so upbeat

like some kind of perfected positivity prophet

but i can't be so f*****g chipper all the time

not because i'm so depressed but because life is a yin and yang

life is meant to have some down moments

not to be all so happy and perfect and lovely

it's like whiskey in the most literal sense

it'll make you happy but after the happiness fades often times there's just overwhelming dread

sometimes you just need to get it out

i guess that's what i'm doing right now

if i held it all in all the time who knows what would happen

maybe someone would unwrap me and my first two tracks would skip too
