loneliness is a demon

that eats away at the soul

turning people into monsters

mean and angry at the world

it tears the heart to pieces

devouring it completely

leaving only a hollow shell

a lump of flesh that used to be human

that used to know happiness

and laughter

only the monster remains

the demon’s puppet

casting despair where ever it goes

screaming at the happy people

scaring children with its stare

it scoffs at lovers in the park

lonely monster roaming the earth

it goes to work for the daily grind

doing its unhappy work

day in and day out

it goes home to an empty house

no family to greet it at the door

no friends to call on

it watches t.v. till time for bed

it sleeps alone

sad monster

it wakes to start another miserable day

spreading hate because it doesn’t know love

so many monsters walking around today

all apart of the demon’s parade

still making monsters out of lonely people

loneliness is definitely a demon

I am tough

I am formidable

I am vengeful

I am a fighter

I am a defender

I am forceful

I am rage

I am sinful

I am holy

I am glorious

I am kind

I am gentle

I am considerate

I am loving

I am giving

I am respectful

I am honorable

I am dedicated

I am honest

I am loyal

I am a lover

I am a friend

I am a mother

I am a daughter

I am a niece

I am a sister

I am a loner

I am a nerd

I am a dreamer

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am an artist

I am an athlete

I am a traveler

I am an adventurer

I am a foreigner

I am a citizen

I am an enigma

I am a rabbit

I am a tiger

I am air

I am a star

I am dynamic

I am great

I am fantastic

I am complete

and with you…

I am so much more

so you want a pretty girl

who has style and finesse

a whole lot of sass

and a nice ass

perhaps one with raven hair

and eyes the color of the sky

a slim figure and short stature

she makes you feel tall

and climb the walls at night

she plays with your Dudley

and charms all your friends

even impresses the family

not that it really matters

but you can’t seem to find her

too many carbon copies

are all over campus

with their box color blondes

salon tans and sorority tees

shallow outlooks on the world

only trying to get over on the next John

been burned before by the same chick

so you got yourself a mail order bride instead

turned out she was up to the same tricks

wondering when your going to catch a clue

you need an ugly girl to satisfy you

one that will be grateful to even be seen with you

a fat girl with a lot more meat on her bones

she’ll keep you fed with a beer in your hand

I say get a dumb girl

she’ll never understand a word you say

but nod her head sweetly to any insane

thing you want to do

you could get away with anything!

dude…leave the pretty girls alone

they’re way too much trouble

full of nothing but lies

secret rendezvous with other guys

followed by random proposals

and scary outbursts

none have left you happy

you’ve put them all out

only to bring the next one in

get an ugly girl man…

she’ll make you happy for the rest of your days

by being grateful…subservient

and staying the fuck out of your way

an ugly girl the best solution

to your pretty girl problem

I’m the heartbreaker

with a broken heart

its not on my sleeve

its padlocked in a trunk

in the basement

buried six feet under

and I’ve lost the key

still holding onto feelings I haven’t buried

they trouble me during the night

and worry me in the day

I have no rest

can’t call it love

its no longer here

can’t call it hate

I haven’t the energy for it

there’s a storm where my heart used to be

its been raining there ever since

dark clouds brewing inside

lightening flashes are the only light

its flooded there and I’m drowning

dear Lord where did I put that key
