Don'T Flatter Yourself Poem by Lola Romero

punch me so that i dont have to feel my heart aching

the room is spinning so fast

is the earth quaking?

metallic taste of blood, strong on my lips

all i wanted was one innocent kiss

tear me apart and then pass me around

my ears have gone blind

i cant hear a sound

i know your probably thinking

these words are profound

but if you were sitting here, gently weeping,

you too would want to write this down

if you had to face this

constantly taste this

wat would you do?

holding onto loving memories

cuz theres way too few

imagine sitting all alone

cold on grey stone

watching the sunset
yet your chilled to the bone

no arms to wrap around you

to share the stained glass sky

so instead you sit and you cry

not caring or even knowing

almost wishing to die

sometimes its hard

to keep on hating yourself

inside you feel cruel

actions are a reflection of self

dont act like a fool

the pathetic part is

its hard not to feel sorry for yourself

when hella other people are starving

and living with no wealth

how can you sit here and pretend

that your stupid problems actually matter

its just to make urself feel important

you are the only person you are trying to flatter
