that cruel mistress of time

J.J. Campbell

they all seem so
young anymore
and i don't feel
like going to jail

they all seem to
be wearing rings
and i don't feel
like competing

none of them
know how to
form a proper
sentence

and i no longer
want to be the
asshole who
keeps correcting

ultimately

that cruel mistress
of time has simply
passed me by

i don't think my
destiny is to be
alone

of course

i own a gun
just in case

  1. Good poem JJ I'm still chuckling but I've got to the stage where I'll probably forget everything as so as I remember who I am
