Emotions are a curious thing
They come
They go
They fire you up
They break you down
They make you laugh
Til your side hurts
They make you cry
Til your throat hurts
They take you places
They can stop time
They can destroy your world
Or remind you how great
Things can be
But sometimes you wish
You couldn’t feel a damn thing

I knew this guy
He always complained
And complained
Nothing made him happy
He called women evil
And called men pussies
“Hey man,” I said
“You got anything nice to say?”
“Fuck you!” He said
“You don’t know how hard my life is!”
He drove away angry
In his giant diesel pickup
With cab lights and rear light bracket
Stirring up dust and rocks
Making him feel like a big man
Too many guys are like that
From the poetry collection Men Are Garbage.
I dated a girl
With Borderline Personality Disorder
I cared about her
And I thought she cared about me
It didn’t work out
For multiple reasons
Months later
I thought
Did she care for me
Or did her disorder
Make her think she cared for me
If it was the disorder
Did that mean
I took advantage of her
In that condition
I felt like
The biggest
Piece of shit
On the planet
I didn’t want to be
That kind of person
I didn’t have sex
For four years
From the poetry collection Men Are Garbage.
