never trip without your hat. -or- please do not disturb the other patients.A Poem by Boyd Johnsonpart of...what turned out to be about 25 pages of babble ranging from my inability to speak up for myself, to my poor penmanship. i couldnt have done it all without my hat.
They don’t want me to write it down They make it harder to write down when you’re like this Oh its so poetic Lay there Just lay There Don’t do a god damned thing. Well you know what? I don’t care If you’re there Or not Every day Every god damned day It’s the same f*****g thing. No matter what Its always the same. They don’t want me to say it. Don’t give it a name When you have its name You can kill it. D****t! They almost got me again M***********s! They really are cunning They really are sly Thinking they got me so easily You all laugh you all smile “be nice to him” here I am talking to myself everyday not knowing whether i have to s**t piss or vomit lonely and slowly becoming the metaphor because i cant s**t and I dont want to get off the pot. So f**k it. I don’t care If you’re there Or not Its my trip and ill do with it as I please The same thing Over again. Because I aint got the balls To s**t Or kill myself. Yes it does. They don’t want me to write It down They don’t want me F**k em Im gonna keep on fishing Look at him Look at him shaking Look at him talking to himself Aint he precious Aint he darling? Well f**k you lady! BECAUSE WHY NOT! THAT’S F*****G WHY! The best I can hope for, is someone reading this and thinking, there’s a boy who thinks he gets it. He’s kinda clever sometimes. Well, he thinks he is. THE PLAY IS GOING ON IN HIS HEAD! Know what I mean? The words start to look like tommys The words start to look like pats The words don’t look like his? He just wants to go to sleep. He knows that it’s all the same. He knows And its shows Lord it shows That he knows His carefully timed wit F**k him. F**k him dead. He aint gonna pull the f*****g trigger Just let him write. F**k him He hates himself Obviously He’s crazy. Narcissistic? How can you blame him In a world that your crazy If you want to off yourself They put you away. Shush. Don’t speak You know Please do not disturb the other patients I don’t see much of a difference.
Well what is there for me If I don’t want to play? Believe me I do want To come out and play I do. But not in that way. What is there for me Other than the nuthouses Bars Churches Women Lurches Forward Dry heaving now… Dry heaving now… All the dude wanted was his rug back. © 2008 Boyd Johnson |
