Callous Freak
A half-carton of ice cream? Really?
Well, you just killed the pancreas there buddy.
I’d like you to know that all of us aren’t nearly
As stuffed and bloated as you are.
This was meant to be a family social event,
But I suppose we can make this all about you.
I’m so sorry to hear your moving back to Ohio
Well, not really, since everyone wants you gone.
You’re makeup looks terrible by the way,
Like teardrops speeding past your eyeliner
Racing down the sides of your cheek.
I bet he saved the ring for the other woman.
So, while your filth ruins my brand new sofa
You can share all your pathetic sob stories
And I can try my best to pretend I care.
Please don’t bother asking how I’ve been
Or pretend to act interested in me at all.
Remember, its not about me, its all about you.

I couldn't decide whether to laugh or to cry, so I compromised by shrieking quietly then rolling around on the floor with my hands over my eyes. But it's all poetry, really. Brilliant, brilliant poetry. The last line was a perfect transition from dry sarcasm to the verge of a nervous breakdown. FIVE STARS!
Please send me your mind in a tightly sealed envelope; I would love to dissect it, if you don't mind, of course.
INteresting. It sinks deep, like the titanic. Will it stay at the ocean floor, to be inhabited be sharks and eels?
Does one have to be bitter to write like a bitter-er?
well see, i re-read it now and it seems kinda comical (in a sarcastic kinda way) and more laid back and stuff then from when i read it before, but i'm in a completly different mood then from the first time i read it..... it's still awesome, and relatable!!!!
(i think that the mood a person's in when they read something affects a LOT about how the interperate)
