AB(ove) Normal

May 14, 2008

i took some phrases from easystreet and the three words from 3WW

i know exactly how
to go to hell.
there’s no need
for an emphasis
on how I’ve been
caught with my
neck suffering
from a sideburns
don’t ask…
i have just gotten off
a ride, generously
given by this
so called life.

an average person can say,
“that’s immaterial,
since you’ve survived
anyway.”
but this immaculate loser
is uncomplaining,
even there’s this scratch
that reminds me of
the pain and the lessons
that i have learned…
this life might be unjust,
but i still must be
thankful for the one i got…

    There are several lines here that I really like, perhaps this one best:
    “but this immaculate loser
    is uncomplaining”

    Exactly why we shouldn’t listen to average people tell us how to live, unless we too want to be average. :) Great thoughts!

    It’s important to be thankful for the life we have… even when things are shitty… maybe especially when things are shitty? Probably.
