Burnt Coffee:

Sour and almost undrinkable

But manageable none the less.

They continue to sip the charred beans,

Convincing themselves it could be worse.

A wasted time and effort,

So much hope placed on one cup.

Why the fuck am I

Comparing myself to a cup

Of burnt coffee?

I guess in the end,

You preferred to drink tea.

Burn My Brain:

I want to burn my brain.

To seer this thing out of my head

To silence the mumbling

That sounds like being stuck in traffic.

I sit there and wait.

Waiting in that traffic for my head to shut up.

For the cars to stop beeping,

For the headlights to stop flashing.

For some fucking silence.

But traffic doesn't stop just

Because you want it to.

I want my brain smouldering into silence

Smoke pouring out my ears

As I find peace

In the burnt remains.

~J.K.M.
