J.J. Campbell

and we all know what comes next


sometimes life happens way too fast


but most of the time, boredom is starting

to wrap the cord around your neck and

we all know what comes next


i've lived long enough to watch most

of my family die


all the pain, the suffering


what becomes of dreams crushed before

they ever get to be


keep your head down and carry on, never

talk back


all shitty advice from a man that never

wanted to be anything other than rich

without ever having to earn it


my father never loved me


and of course, that is why the page is

my fucking therapist


he went to vietnam to die


and i had to pay for his inability to die

in a war where all of his friends did


maybe that’s why i've had success

gambling


no one deserves that kind of shitty

luck
