My Introspective Blues
By Brandon Palzkill
Stuck between the lifeless minutes
Of ongoing triviality
I’ve found myself
In a soul-sucking situation
And lost myself
To the foreseeable future
Where I’m wading through
A whirlpool of bullshit
As it bogs me down
With an undertow of self-disrespect
That aims to drag me
Into the darkness.
My aching mind dares to wander
Beyond the detrimental hindrances
Toward the promise
Of a nova-bright tomorrow
Where everything that’s earned
My ire
Becomes a receding reflection
In my rearview mirror.
Maybe I’ll hop in my apple red ride
And race into the
Transitional sunset
Where I’ll whistle a happy tune
and raise a salutary finger
To all the assholic aggravations
that have shaped
my chaotic, malcontent
existence.
Once the minutes tick behind me,
I’m gonna go my own way
And make my own fun
And then I’ll go to Disneyland
And have a nice day.
