I am not going to amount to much

That’s what she told me

My dreams are a waste, they’re too tough

My ambition is weak

I was told that I am a low-life

Societies most dreadful and bleak

A magnet for ridicule and spite

“You will be nothing, no one to seek

And you will miss and regret not having me around”

Maybe I am nothing

And maybe I am a low-life hound

A person of poor character and of nothing

Someone who deserves humiliation and antipathy

But what I know for sure

Is that I won’t succumb to apathy

It has to matter what I have endured

This barrage of judgement about a life

A life that I am still living

A low-life, a scoundrel that no one will ever love, you are right

I am all you said unforgiving

You were only wrong about one risk

I am going to “miss and regret” not having you around, you say?

I only regret that you exist

by Jonathan Sheppard

My name does not belong to me. It belongs to all of you. You’ve turned it into something else. I don’t know who it belongs to though. I thought it was his but just like her I was wrong. Another name is mine. I like this one better but I hate her for it. I never put much thought into it until today.

Parents are a shady bunch aren’t they?

Speaking of shade, I’m going to go find some.

Don’t shake your heads at me! Don’t you see what they’re doing?! They’re playing you like a fiddle. It’s all part of the game guys. All of it. They waited till now to release that footage. I knew they would. Do you think it changes any of the things I’ve said? I never claimed to be better than any of you! Never! You were all behind me 200% until you found out I did a little a blow. Smoked a little somethin. I lived life and if you think the stuff they showed you on this tape is something, you should see the stuff they DON’T have on tape! 

How many times has some wrinkly fossil marched up here and promised you the moon and the stars only to deliver a half blown up Death star? I don’t promise anything I can’t do. I never said I was better than you. Hell I am you people! I am just like you. It’s time we stopped electing these phonies who have everything to hide and nothing to offer us! Let’s take our fucking planet back and now before there isn’t a single fucking tree to take shade under while we smoke a joint in the park! This is our home and these dinosaurs have got to go!

DIE DINOS DIE! DIE DINOS DIE! DIE DINOS DIE! DIE DINOS DIE!
