Sceptic optimism
• Written by RTMeredith
And so starts the beginning of a new chapter,
Wonder if this one leads to a happy ever after?
It doesn't matter because its the pursuit that counts,
Happiness isn't measured in quantifiable amounts,
And i'll deny all accounts of being apathetic,
Sure I used to be lazier than a sloth on anaesthetic,
But I regret that kids, and now i've learnt my lesson,
Burnt another mentality into my melon,
The fatality of emotional investment,
Is a really good way of getting rid of resentment
I'll steal your pay and forever be unrepentant,
Spend it on a scimitar and severe all ties,
Because I cant be dealing with all these people's lies,
Open your eyes and begin to smell the coffee,
Talk about your feelings, im sorry you've lost me.
Now its been a few weeks, can you make your point please?
You can get on your knees, but im not a fan of begging,
We hung out once, now you're expecting a wedding?
Dissecting your brain stem makes me ill you cretin,
Scared to be alone so you hop from man to man,
Maybe go talk to your fam about those pills of,
Midazolam, Lectopam, chloropramazine,
Where the fuck you get these from, a gossip magazine?
You seem decent but your lifestyle is obscene,
Truth is you've been in more beds than Lenny Henry,
Believe me when I say, that doesn't fill me with envy
It doesn't fill me with sympathy or empathy either,
I'm a keen believer in making your own choices,
Ignoring everyone else listening to your voices.
Rejoice flids... for limb extension surgery,
Open your lids and stop living so earnestly,
It hurts me that we haven't met in eternity,
But personally I see the pros and the cons,
And I don't need anyone, I know that im strong,
But its a fucked up, messed up, hypocritical bong,
Of rights and wrongs and its so god-damn confusing,
Things are going good right now and its pretty amusing,
I'm bruising after a period of self loathing,
But I've awoken as a sheep in wolf's clothing
Ready to start again with a new sense of vigour,
This time im not taking my finger of the trigger,
This time im wiser, this time my brain is bigger,
Just gotta relax and assess the situation,
Open my cap and access some inspiration
