i wrap razor wire
across my naked flesh
and dare the lightning
to strike
because i don’t have
enough middle fingers
to show my distaste
for self delusion

the worst lie
we happily tell ourselves
is everything
will be alright
when we goddamned well
can read the writing
scribbled by our own hands
dripping down the wall

welcome
to the shitshow, kid
it only gets worse
from here
don’t mind me
i’m just here
to try and incite
a motherfucking riot
