Not a poem. Although not a story.

An estranged person with no real understanding.

Tell me, do I strike you as a bad person?

What have I done that is so horrible to you?

Does my reaction to your condescension and harshness strike you as mean?

Good.

You deserve it.

It is unfounded, you say?

You obviously don't pay attention your own words.

My mind is advanced beyond my body

Stuck in a hole with no way to go but down, even further.

I have achieved what I desired, no?

Was my childhood dream to become a drug addicted scheming punk with a ridiculous variety of dysfunctional interpersonal relationships?

Perhaps.

"Was my childhood dream to become a drug addicted scheming punk with a ridiculous variety of dysfunctional interpersonal relationships?"
I don't know. I believe we do what we need to do. Become what we desire and swim in. I like the above lines. I wondered did I decide my journey or did I just learn to swim in the s**t? No weakness in the amazing poetry.

Good.
You deserve it.

It's blunt and almost humorous. I like it :)

[Jay Steitler]

I can relate to being accused of being mean, because I harshly put light to truth. Light is the best antiseptic! Good piece

What I like about it is its subtle but venomous bite. Quiet vitriol.

How quaint....it's ferocity is slightly humorous to me...Bravo, Monsieur Smith, bravo. :)

This to me has elements of Sid Barrett mixed in with a fictitious (or real) person unconnected but similar in ways. Yes it's not really a story or a poem but it is interesting and conveys the personality of someone that is only reflecting what has happened to him. good poem.
