When you’re constantly being motivational
You’re reminding everyone how shit it is on repeat
Asking me to hold on, to push through
To wait for you to come and defeat
The evils that wait on toe round every corner’s crease
It’s lovely what you’re saying
Lyrical and deep
Fluffy, soft and seeped in trope
You’re better than this, or so I’d hoped
But even greatness fleets
We could all do with a cheer up
All benefit from a boost
But what will your flowery caption serve me
When the chickens come home to roost?
I see you’ve achieved a lot this year
Shed the skins that drug you beneath
Dried the tap, cleaned your lungs of crap
Slapped that stick from the bosom of your teeth
Got that job, bought that plot
Flew to a few new five star states
And still every time you promise me it’ll get better
All I feel is hate
When you compliment my resilience
How you applaud my strength
Clap and gush for my darkened stuff
What I did to crawl out that trench
The pledge that good is nearing its debut
Where insecurity won’t remember me or you
Struggles, scares and stresses will dissolve
You won’t even care you’re getting old
And everyday will feel worthwhile
You’ll even recoup a bit of that wonder
You over-exercised as a child
As much as I’d like to return the celebration
Pat your back for all you’ve survived
Sometimes frugality can be honoured
Can’t indulge that Godly handjob of pride
Because life is hard, and I am hardened
Decay can rot the purest soul
Sunshine quickly turns to sleet
And no one heeds the wisdom they were told
Babies get their brains blown out
Another city falls to dust
More people buy, more shit is sold
You got bread, but have you got the crust?
I appreciate the optimism
I just can’t help but source its roots
Life is shit, deal with it
Whatever happened to good old truth?
