You’re not as fucked

As you think you are.

Overdiagnoses form the disparity

Of a unique lapse of clarity –

A modern singularity.

The solo-soldier fighting, hurled

Tooth and nail into the world,

Sails unfurled and slapping ‘gainst the bow.

Now how does one succumb

To these demons sucking souls

Out of these fucking fishbowls?

 

I daren’t retort your (in)decision

To go under your own knife –

A self-made incision

That opens up your chest

To the rest of humanity –

The modern insanity

Of showcasing one’s extensive vanity.

Straight up, fucking profanity!

Our constant lack of charity

Swears loudly in the faces

Of future beauties, and past disgraces.
