Bored and Pissed!

Gee!

Restless anger has assumed control, pulling the strings

 

Of the Marionette that is me; I can't even explain why, what, or who

 

Is to blame; just lashing out for lashing out's sake

 

I guess if I'm honest I'm really angry at the face in the mirror;

 

It's a leering, judgmental face that thinks it knows best

 

"Well, screw you!" I yell, but it doesn't seem to care,

 

Which only serves to piss me off even more

 

The arrogance of that face, "I know best, and I think it's best

 

If you don't take that particular path!" it seems to criticize silently

 

"Oh yeah, idiot; if you're always going to be there,

 

I just won't look in the mirror anymore; how do you like that?"

 

The jerk-off doesn't answer, smug self-righteous bastard; 

"Answer me, damn you!"

I lash out at things in general sometimes, but there's always a reason, even if I don't know it. You have a reason too; it's not just anger for its own sake.

[Michael Stevens]

No, I was just trying to capture that feeling of unreasonable anger you get sometimes, but it's usually triggered by a specific event!

This is a wry look at being hyper self-critical Mike. It does make me laugh (especially the end) out of recognition but its also quite sad to be so down on yourself but thankfully this is transient.
Well handled and witty mate! xD

Thank you, and I tend to fall back on making fun of myself; after all, what am I going to do if I'm offended, beat the s**t out of myself? I think I'd win either way!

[ANTO]

You would certainly win - but you might lose too - hmmmm
There are loads of comics that make a good living out of self-deprecation - its all good lol

I'm rather a coward, I'd probably make myself back down!

[ANTO]

too surreal ...

[Michael Stevens]

I could lie and tell you I'm a bad-a*s, but...!
