i learned as a child
the monsters under
my bed were there
to protect me
they failed
much like everyone
else in my childhood
they never explained
in therapy how i was
to move on from that
one asshole said just
get over it and seek
out the lord
i grabbed a pen and
decided to take up
drinking instead
most of my former
friends think of me
as a sociopath now
i almost think
about taking the
time to care but
i’m running low
on vodka
more important
matters are at
hand
