Backfire
P.S: I’ve been really busy these last 2 months, moved in my own place and I’ve started my senior year of college. I’ve been so busy it’s been hard to write so this is more of a free flow poem, enjoy.

I keep indirectly driving myself insane
I keep talking in patterns cause that’s all I’ve seem to know to do all these fucking years now
I cuss a lot
I drink to much
I pick dangerous men to fall in love with
I pick chaotic relationships to feel less boring and mundane
To keep myself distracted from all this constructed pain
In a way I’m just like the people I despise
