I Release Me

I Release Me

A Poem by Matthew Bass

I´m fed up with the monotony 
of waking up to the same routine 
everyday; 
the same problems 
the same worries 
the same aspirations 
the same goals, 
roaming like a nomad 
drunk on the present 
in the early hours 
of this city, this lifestyle. 

I´m fed up with having 
all the time to do everything 
without enough time for 
anything, to spend another minute 
not holding you 
not being with you, 
with being love sick. 

I´m fed up with wealth 
my social class, prosperity, 
the white picket fence, 
with experts 
with America 
with Europe, 
with all the things 
I´ve ever been taught. 

I´m fed up with 
always being distracted 
by mindless distractions, 
with T.V., fast food 
and no one saying 
what they really think, 
with apathy and society. 

I´m fed up with 
being a nice young man 
who will graduate from a top 100 school 
who will make alot of money 
who will make everyone proud 
who will do the right thing 

I´m fed up with poetry, 
with having to scream 
into the coffee-stained pages 
of a notebook, and listen 
to your crap because 
you´ve memorized all the right words.

It´s funny how we think we are all on the cusp of something, and just have not been recognized yet. I am no different. I don´t really care all that much, but at the same time I do care. .. more..
