A Madman's Attempt at Writing

A THANK YOU NOTE TO CHARLES BUKOWSKI

I met him in a self help book
    Was curious so I searched
And a few lines in
    I was hooked
There was just something in his words
That made me shrink
     His crude view of the world
   Held me up
    Shooked me up
convinced me to think
      and I know he wasn't perfect
    He was the complete opposite if I'm being honest.
  His mind was filled cynicism and sadness
   Rat infested hallways
Bone hanging from the unlit passages
He was old
And odd
   Writting
Foal
and off
   But there's a charm in them
I guess...
   He was unflinching
Uncomfortably
Unbearably
honest
    In every sense
