I'm waiting for you.
I've settled myself down and now I'm waiting.
You said this time it'd work.
I've done everything you've asked.
But no amount of refreshing or waving you in the air will make you play.
I hate technology.

I'm wired
I'm hyped
I've had the red and the orange and the yellow and the green and the purple
I'm ready to go
No stopping me now
I'm alive
You don't understand me
You don't know what it's like
You say I'm wasting my money
Destroying my body
Ruining my life
But you don't know
You've never tried it
You don't know how it feels
Come on
I say
Just try it
And you reach out
And you take it
And you taste the rainbow

One by One
Two by Two
Three by Three

Now I've started I can't stop
You're giving me headaches, sweats, cramps
You're giving me toothache, rotted gums, obesity
You're giving me odd looks on the bus,
hidden wrappers in my room,
missed meals,
empty bank,
throwing up in the toilets
But still the hands shovel
Still the mouth waters
Still the teeth crunch,
the bones break,
the fingers snap
and down it goes
Down, down, down
to the dank pit
Already overloaded
Please, God, not more
Please help me
Please stop me
I want to
I'm sick of you
I hate you
I despise you
But I can't stop
Please, God, not more

You are an amazing writer ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, I don't think I'm that amazing really. I just find this a nice place to let my thoughts flow without having to necessarily make much logical sense...
