A Poem by Matt James

I hate people. No, I mean like I really hate people. I can’t stand them. I guess that’s why I could never stay in one place for very long, I’m pretty anti-social for what it's worth. I’ve been that way my whole life.
I don't have friends, just associates who share a common interest which is to swallow up and drown our demons in liquor on the weekends. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that doesn't have poetic worth, but it doesn't mean anything to me because they don't understand me. Once I got tired of them, I'd vanish from their lives like a ghost.


I’m a user. Always have been. I liked drinking and smoking as much as the next but my preferred drug-of-choice was people. I had an incessant desire to manipulate others and I was so very good at it because after all, I had learned from the best.
