These Bad, Disappointing, Little, Nobodies

These Bad, Disappointing, Little, Nobodies

A Poem by Lana

be a good student
follow the norms
read the guidelines
question no one
walk in line
and terrorize your crimes
located in your bones
terrorize your desires
let go of the fire
be like water
but with no current
no waves
only meant to put out the fire like the rain
then there are those who disappoint their parents
never open their wallet 
unless it's to invest in their own challenges
they disappoint the game
the laws, lonesome distraction for their arrows
But they never miss their aim
they own the bars
they own the language of stars
they own the employees
they own corporations
they invent their advertisements
they don't go by the current
they live by a fireplace in a big spacious state of mind and soul
they torment the goals
the successes and failures are jokes
they invite experiments
they try and try and never take it seriously
they disappoint everybody
they're awful little nobodies
and yet they influence the influencers
craft stories for the writers
some even take action with a ghost gun
and shoot a CEO in cold blood
and disappoint their parents
these bad disappointing little nobodies 
so free 
so free
