as miserable as i am

as miserable as i am

A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

misanthropic

"
as miserable as i am
i have no regrets
my misery comes from forced interaction
with other people
the boring, the banal, the lame
the clamor and din of morons
trying to wax intellectual
about debunked myths and half truths
my contempt doesn’t come from a wasted life
it comes from a life dragging on too long
like a book that keeps going
cause the author doesn’t know how
to write an ending
my anger comes from fools who demand my respect
and my understanding of where they are coming from
but have none at all, for me, in return
one sided arguments and pointless debates
you wouldn’t know good taste
if it was in your mouth

the lives you live are hollow
i can see right through all of you
i watch the gears in your head turn
it’s all so predictable and disappointing
you’re happy in settling for less
just happy to get anything at all
and in the end, you get it home
and it’s not what it seems

history repeats itself, like waves
falling over themselves
like idiots falling over themselves
to slap the feeder bar
and get their treat for the day
like happy little lemmings
while the man behind the curtain
laughs till his chest hurts

i am miserable
because my eyes are open
and this place is a s**t hole
nothing piled upon nothing
and all of you swimming in it
with veils pulled over your eyes
how revolting all of you are
