Poem: 'Youthless77' by Jeremy Void

'Youthless77'

By Jeremy Void

I want to be

a revolutionary.

I want to have a cause.

I want to fight the system.

I want to break the law. 

I beat my head against the wall

until my skin rips starts spitting blood.

I go and dance the pain away in

a terroristic fashion.

I go out with the crowd

but they all bore me and I wanna

do something else instead. 

I sit back and wait

for something big to happen.

But I sit here all day long

and nothing seems enough.

My mind races through blackness

as I contemplate the sky.

The rainbow has sprouted blood

and the evil birds are flying. 

The whole world is

immersed in flames

and I don’t know what to do.

I wait for action to be made

but it all seems way too late

to be of any use. 

I’m ignorant and undereducated

and refuse to listen to

what you haveta say.

Because your knowledge is worthless

to a kid like me who would

only go out and abuse it. 

So why don’t you go away,

cuz I’m a good for nothing

kid who belongs on a different planet.

If you ask me what’s my name

I’ll make up something sick

and cram it down your face. 

I don’t know why

I’m even writing this.

I guess just killing time.

If I had something smart to say

they might put me away for good.
