Take from me this poetry

It is meritocracy

It is cumbersome.

It demands too much of my blood.

I don't care about these words any more, nor does anyone.

It grinds out like shards of cheese.

I cant.

I don't want to.

All I do is whine and hurt.

Drugs are better.

...

Perhaps death has one more poem to be written on my gravestone

"Here lay pauper and a poet - he loved being nither."
