diary of a punk rock messiah #6 4.28.20

Here i stand a leader

Among the freaks and outcasts

The biggest target

Is strapped to my chest

Take your shot at me

Do not miss your chance

To blow me away

Go ahead make me a martyr

I’m like the hydra

Cut off one head

two more grow in it’s place

A never ending cycle

Amplified by a global stage

To show you are an exciting person

An influencer to a generation

Going out every night

Got the photographic evidence

That you edited just right

To make the ones who stayed home

Jealous of the life you have

While they slink away

To their basement bedroom

The only place where they can relax

And feel like themself for once

Instead of the person they pretend to be

So their parents don’t worry

So the people who pretend to be friends

Don’t ditch them for someone

Who has less issues with their head

Someone who doesn’t talk about

How cool it would be being dead

Cause it kills their vibe

It bums them out

This is the best time of their life

And they want to spend it wasted

Inbreeding within their toxic group

So their future kids can go to school

With all of their relatives

Cause they never leave their hometown

They know there is nothing

For them out there

They aren’t anyone

And they can’t stand it

Being a nobody a fucking loser

Who revels in their high school “glory days”

Remember that time we won a football game?

Yeah that was cool

What have you done recently?

Hey remember when we won that other football game?

Same stories repeated ad nauseum

Until there is no one around

Who can stand to hear it one more time

I am so fucking happy

That I am nothing like you

Cause if I was anything like you

I’d have killed myself

A long long time ago
