Seemy side of life

I don't know why
but i enjoy reading stories
about personal hells
and drinking yourself to sleep
i like poets who talk
about whores
and booze
rather than about love
and flowers
it appeals to me more
i can't describe it
Even though i would never
want to live the life as
such
the semmy side of life
is more appealing to my eye
Poets like Charles Bukowski
are geniuses in my mind
Fuck the beautiful
its so mundane
and overused
Let the ugly
seep through

  • The seamy side is more real if you mean to compare it to beautiful like pristine b/c nothing here is... especially the longer we live. Well, nature is... but we aren't. Portrayals as such sort of gloss over (like the photo-shopped pic I love to display). For me at least, I can't immerse in the darker parts -it causes me to lose hope. For me, the best works show a balance -a realism between the variances within our humanity. IDK...BTW I like the poem -thanks for sharing. :)

  • you said the "F" word!!! i'm tellin MOM!

  • I think many can relate ... very well done!!

  • Uhm. Amazing. Mmhmm.

  • YES YES LET THE UGLY SEEP THROUGH!!!!!

    What good is knowing beauty without the ugliness that stems forth from it?

    Awesome job again, Shane.

  • nice, 5*

  • glad you liked it :)
