Kicking it old school

I was going through my old poetry live journal and found some of my faves. 2004 was my most creative year by far. I shall post a few just for the hell of it. Maybe someone here will get something out if them.

living in a body that i want to mutilate
mirrors all around laughing
with hands over my face i run
run away from all the eyes and mirrors
telling me i'm ugly
showing me how unnattractive i really am
pulling at my clothes, grabbing at fat
i want to scratch at my face making it bleed
a confident exterior hides my shame
i hate the way i look
i hate the way you look at me
wishing i was lovelier, thinner
not good enough for you
not good enough for the world
i shatter my fist into the glass
no longer wanting to see myself again

a shot glass falls to the ground.
the holy grail mistaken for vows of silence.
self loathing and hatred for the government;
the masses trail along following blindly,
working like dogs for companies who
consider them to be faceless and replaceable.
"hi ho silver!" the ads say but the
American dream is more like the happy man's nightmare.
they continue to hurt us, treat us like cattle.
punishment soon follows the judgement.
I want to sit on God's thrown and watch
them as they all fall down.

i've been tricked by your words
the look in your eyes means nothing now
tripping over mangled corpses
catching a glimpse of you in
puddles of fresh blood
we as gladiators in the forum
fighting to the death for
the pleasure of one emporer
a man that does not exist
you send me into battle with no reason
no excuses given for the treachery
with one sword and a metal shield
i will bring you down
