 relations of words to real life: 

 are you going to be... DISTURBED? 

 when 
         you 
                 see 

 the coffee cup i tapped so endlessly 
 the fake nails painted so dark 
 the roof moonlight supposedly dances on 
 the abandonment of dillusional dreams 
  
         (could you relate 
         and not portray it 
         like i could? 
         that's only because 
         you saw beauty 
         in my feeble 
         attempt at honesty) 
  
 blind, like every cliched lyric and line; 
 somebody should've told me the truth long ago. 
 the truth of the reality of all those hours of words 
 and the dispassionate, fake motivation behind it... 
  
         B (burdening) 
          U (useless) 
           L (loving) 
            L (lifeless)         <--all my 
             S (stupid)             words. 
              H (haunted) 
               I (ignorant) 
                T (tedious) 
  
 taking pseudo-medicine 
 singing bar anthems 
 lying on black grass 
 too many harmless addictions 
  
 can i hate the world that tried to save me 
 for dining on an empty platter of eloquence 
 the dull vacancy behind the pristine prose 
 scattered words crushed beneath shuffling feet 
  
                 painting all the stifled feelings 
                 with an animate circle of surroundings 
  
                         (how god damn MODERN) 
  
         fucked it up again 
         in the summer of 2000 
         don't sit there 
         and nod your fucking head 
  
         i refuse to be 
  
                 i'll no longer be 
  
                         a word whore.
