Because I Love Words: Chapter Four: Excuse Me

Excuse me

Excuse me, but can I…?

May I…?

Is it really so much to ask for?

So much to beg for?

So much to plead for?

I just need a break

Not a fake break

But a real break

Away from the constant constant

Ringing, bringing

Going, coming

Yelling!!!!!!

I NEED A BREAK!!!!

FROM ALL THE BULLSHIT!!!!!

FROM ALL THE DUMB SHIT!!!!

FROM ALL THE SICK SHIT!!!!!

No

Uh-uh,

Hell no

I……….don’t want to be forgiving

I……….don’t want to be accepting

I……….don’t want to be understanding

I need to be unrelenting

Unrelenting

Unrelenting

Till it clicks

And shifts

And I piss.

I piss

All over your sensitivity

Your insecurity

Your morality

Your Pc-icity

I am SICK of your DEFINITIONS

Your ROLES, PLACEMENTS, CHARACTERISATIONS

I need no EMANCIPATION

Because YOU never had ME

So excuse me

No need to forgive for being blunt

For deciding WTF and finally spark that Blunt

Excuse me if my speak

Be incomplete

Excuse me if my tongue pass my cheek

Excuse me

When you LIE to me EVERYDAY

And leave me with just enough

So I come back same way

So I’ll come back another day

Excuse me

Excuse me

If I think you stink beneath that $200 Smell Sweet

While I and We walk around BROKE no BOMBEAT

Excuse me

Excuse me if I have a Shitload to say

But excuse me

I’ll leave DAT for another day
