At BioLife.
Plasma TVs
need to be filled
somehow.
Here I am at BioLife-
Scratch that.
Here I was at bio-life
They kicked me out.
I raised a question
about my address,
and they told me to leave.
Acted like the nexus
has all the answers.
Listen. The nexus
doesn’t have the answers.
I’m sad.
I want to be more.
I want to feel more
and leave more.
I want to see more
and experience more.
And here I am,
lost in line,
last in line.
Can’t even
give plasma.
I know I’m
not pathetic.
I hate to be
rejected.
My anger is
misdirected.
Leave me in
your section.
Thought I had an answer.
I don’t know the question.
Lost in Loser Land.
Limp Bizkit was right.
Try your other hand.
I’m so done with
being nobody,
seeing something
and wanting more,
losing everything
I try to gain.
Want to be more.
Loser losing
in a losing game.
