Feel Better

Sing it with a guitar,

Write it in a letter,

Scream it til it hurts:

See if you feel better.

Post it up on Facebook,

Make it into art:

Something really horrid

To panic some old fart.

Fuckin’ fuck and drink and curse,

Swear and tear a sweater,

Run away from nowhere:

See if you feel better.

Write it in your journal,

Put it in a poem,

Cry until no one hears you

That you just want to go home.

Get a French Bulldog,

Or a fuckin Irish Setter,

Get some ghastly serpent,

See if you feel better.

Swim along the borders,

Break on breakwaters,

Take it out on someone,

Like some old dead man’s daughter.

Everyone owes something,

Every one of us a debtor;

Pay it til you’re buried, man,

See if you feel better.

Tell it all to Jesus,

To Buddha or Muhammad.

Tell it to the pastors,

Tell it to your momma.

Swear it on a bible,

Take the dunk and drink,

Drink communion wine

Until you vomit in the sink.

Thank you loving loved ones,

Thank you Misses Therapist,

Thank you online PDF,

Thank you fuckin pharmacist,

For all your hopeless mercy,

All you good abettors:

I did all the shit you told me

I didn’t feel better.

I did the macarena,

I flossed, I even twerked:

I sweat myself til I wet myself:

None of that shit worked.

Sing it with a guitar,

Write it in a letter,

Scream it til it hurts

See if you feel better.
