Hedonist

I stopped reading dystopian novels

When I realised that I was living inside of one

I stopped reading romantic fiction

When I realised that I would never find love

And I stopped reading between the lines

And the small print on my parking fines

And I started taking bad advice

From inspiring quotes that said

‘the key to life is this…’

‘ambition is free

Success costs

Failure pays dividends

Victory holds hands with loss

Tomorrow’s happiness comes at no cost

If tomorrow never comes.’

I swapped citalopram for benzedrine

And kale chips for kеtamine

I turned my body into train tracks

My fondest momеnts became violence

I didn’t worry where the time went

I’m a character that burroughs would be proud of

And I feel so much better now

I feel so much better now

I stopped thinking coherent thoughts

When I realised that I could just think like you

And I stopped writing coherent words

When I realised a stream of consciousness would do

And I started jumping on the trend

Of justifying means without the ends

And I know I’m better than your friends

And I know that you think so too

And I feel so much better n
