Upgrade to paid to play voiceover

Special thanks to all my paid subscribers so far! This is my first official paid-only post. I look forward to sending out more confessional-type stuff just like this. So, if you want to read more exclusive commentaries like the one right below this poem, hit that green upgrade button. Catch you all soon…

give us a call
if they’ve all given up on you
got no love in your life
can’t remember the last time
someone really cared
spoiled product you are
drink that coffee all up
or, well — you know the other option
good night
good morning
what’s the difference?
it’s good to have the whole bed to yourself
at least you got the big TV
keep the lights on and you’re golden
water the plants
just try once in a while
to use more than the microwave
tell everyone you’re doin’ just fine
we’re here to support you
we got your back
hotline for lonely assholes
as a matter of fact
you only exist
if there are others who miss you
no, that’s not true
at least you got tissues
hotline for lonely assholes
because there’s no one to talk to
you can think out loud if you want
but the walls don’t have the answers
the echoes won’t feel good
so please call us back
whenever you need to
because the entire planet
is crawling
with other lonely assholes
so you’re never alone in that
