Hurt

 

Hurt expresses itself in anger & sadness defiance & paralysis it’s much easier for people uninvolved to be articulate hurt has a block as well as a flow it’s a wound that weeps & bruises as much as it spurts eggspurts come along & speak as if it’s about them & grand narratives of right & wrong not for poet hurt he punches or reaches out for a hug it preoccupies the mind & no sooner has one moved on someone else with their angle digs it up again

I saw it at school where an unsettled kid would come into my class & after they’d finally got calm someone from leadership would pull them out of class to discipline them for some long past deed over & over again

time moves fast once things are over they’re over stop rehashing the other one which happens is when you’re suckered coz the conversation which you took at face value of friendship is in fact a ‘meeting’ to discuss you & your flaws an ambush of sorts & you realise the person hasn’t been listening to you but rather assessing you as if they’re God personally I find this new bureaucratic class unbearable in my books if someone’s a cunt give em a bitch slap & move on all the talk in the world is cheap when one’s a cunt & in fact such people generally ace ‘meetings’

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...

In short, sharing versus selfishness
