is nothing sacred?
i yell at disproportionate volume
as a car makes a meer opposum of me
what is this an ER for ants?
it has to be at least ten times this size!
i wheeze in the ambulance
and the line goes flat just like me
even when i was alive haha!

if you don't laugh tsk well tough crowd
stand up comedy it gets difficult to stand up
when you're 6ft underground
if you don't laugh you'll cry
c'mon what is this a funeral
lighten up

i want cake at my funeral
a really big one and the funeral home
to advertise very loudly there will be food
so people i don't know show up to eat
and everyone thinks i was really popular
or wonders how i know a family of crackheads
i want complete strangers to awkwardly
come up and stare at my reorganized corpse
and be like thanks for the food champ
dap me up and leave to horrify my family
that would be great

and its not my funeral
unless they play the rickroll song
on full volume throughout the entire affair
and tie me to a pulley system so I dance
macabre macabre macabre
shut up its not your funeral dude
let the dead guy have the last laugh

in this poem thread i will be using intentionally dark untasteful and unsightly humor in relationship with death and if you aren't prepared for that this isn't a good thread for you- meant entirely with love <3

this thread will joke about dark topics that aren't laughing matters in an ironic/sardonic manner

tw: gore, ideation, harm, death, cursing

my skeleton has a hangnail
ahaha do you think that's possible
technically horns are both nails and bones
so are nails bones will they stay
they turn to slime when we deglove
don't look that up
ahhh my bad

the temptation was there so you probably did
or you already saw at some point
either way im sorry

we are like raccoons
im that old meme
that was horrible
you try it

but we do it with drugs and fast cars
and toxic relationships and having children
and glorifying insanity like its somehow freeing
when you just want to pluck out your own eyeballs
and choke the president to death on one of them
and use the other in a pinball machine
and everyone's like god no dont say that
don't do that thats not normal

gee not normal who would've thought
when a neurodivergent person is stressed
because a nazi is twerking on tables in the white house
while a tech billionaire that refused to fund a movement
to stop world hunger with his limitless pockets
amd instead made a car that looks like an altoid box
and uses the electric power of an entire small town
watches and heils at him because aren't they just quirky
wouldn't be normal about things how extremist that
i am so discontent my bad maybe Hitler wasn't such a bad guy
right there were a lot of people
who had nothing bad to say about him
these people weren't gay or jewish or dark skinned
these people weren't being 'ethically relocated into camps'
these people weren't 'criminals under the wartime law'
so obviously since they were the majority everything was just
normal and fine and quirky and who are you kidding pacify pacify
shut the fuck up and look around hahahahaha i don't know if I'll be allowed to be alive in america tomorrow
because of who i find personally attractive
because of how i look and talk and dress
because of how i think maybe I'll be a criminal under law
maybe I'll be blamed for
crashing an airplane into an occupied building
though I've never drove a plane and have no affiliation
because a million hateful people will see i was gay and trans
and find that enough of a reason to make me guilty
just like millions of people rationalize brown people as crime lords
so i hope when im gassed to death i have both middle fingers up
that might be the only resistance they get

i am septic blood in a womb
not enough of a problem to remove
until i might stand a chance of killing
the fetus thats already dead
and i've already killed the mother
i am a toxic pregnancy

because the human i've become
his life isn't worth preserving
he believes in saving victims
not blaming or punishing them
with a sentence they never asked for
that babies created out of violence
are parasitic to the mother

now if carried by a surrogate
a willing labourer of this experience
who will be governmentally funded because
well they care so much about the subject
that would be a healthy solution
but who likes women's health

that would take a healthy respect for
mental health and women's rights
to organize so this government
could never accomplish it
wishful thinking really
bitter comedy it is
offering real solutions
to politicians

they'd rather scream hate
and butcher communities
with generalizations on tv
than actually change a damn thing
unless it directly benifits them
and since these things operate by
bloodlines why would any politician
with a penis support women
what a silly thought

populations seperated by hate
are much easier to control
so please do continue to be opinionated
about things that should
simply be human rights
decided with dignity to both
mother and fetus

fuck you if you think she
should not have a choice
in being a vessel of violence
and i hope you have time to rethink
your hypocritical and worthless
ideology before you yourself
reap what you sew

napo day 1 "guard dog"

was it already in my bones this corruption
of which you speak that positions me under your ladder
in your societal view less than a dog and twice as useless
twice as easy to kick

when i was a child it was much easier for you
i was your trainee your unhousebroken animal
i was dodging punches and glass shrapnel
pushed to the ground as you hit the wall overhead

you hated when i flinched away
you hated when i fought back
you hated when i talked
you hated when i was somber silence

but you loved when you were in control
so i became your trophy son and pretended
pretended to be a perfect silent daughter
i bent to your words and became just loud enough

right before i broke away that night in the kitchen
when i made casserole and before it was done you hit me
chased me out into the living room and threw me to the ground
and i got back up every time you hit me screaming

i yelled until you didn't knock me down again
i got in your face the way youve done mine a thousand times
and i barked like the dog you made me
i bit your feeding hands until they were bleeding

and you learned not to touch this heathen
you hated me for using my hoarse voice
and i laughed until i cried that i should've done it sooner
and i felt like a weak pathetic thing and i felt strong

you're a weapon not my family
a loaded gun to all around you
and when you hit the ground and go off
i catch all the bullets in my ribs

so no one else gets hit
because thats what I've learned
how to be a shield for little dogs
like me

napo day 2 "thorns in my fingers"


you taught me this
everything has a cycle
don't cry over dead things
chickens, more important than people
tie plants to stilts with soft strings
eat fresh tomatoes
hit kids that dont understand things
please plant some cherries
so you'll always have nice things

you taught me this
dont play the victim
in your traumatic memories
i was a five year old delinquent
you were only doing good for me
dont be the hero
good people ignore bad scenes
clean with salt and vinegar
tobacco removes bee stings
eat honey suckle nectar
blame everything on me

you taught me this
if you cry you are a weakling
bang rocks together to scare bears away
blackberries should be eaten
water hose sprays dirt away
school houses bring sickness
you should clear the dishes away
stay silent when you feel betrayed
don't bring up little complaints
blood beads to heal you
it'll go away eventually

napo day 3 'oreo, if this is your last'

you remind me of why i could never be a father
when the pain seems hopeless i look away
apathy i was never one to understand sickness
your soft brown eyes water fur shiny
vomit in the corner of your mouth and i
i call out to Freya help me weave a thread in time
put a stitch of permanence in this innocents life
but the agony i see makes me look away
no i cannot help you it hurts to see you like this
i've never understood sickness but this time
i wish i knew the answers so i could pet your fur
and look you in the muzzle as you sit in my lap
while i do mundane things in the evening
your soft breath is laboured and my mind is heavy
your sure step has faltered but i will remember you
i will remember you happy

napo day 4 'the void you made'

deep in my chest you are laughing happy
as i open teary eyes you are somewhere
over my shoulder and under my fingernails
i bite them off to try to pull you out of me but
i cant remove them entirely and you are still there
i used to bleach my hands with hand sanitizer
until they dried out and cracked open
my own blood on my fingers and my skin
pulled taut like freezer burnt plastic
white with chemicals that couldn't make me feel clean

how was it to leave his orbit
how was it to make me the new pluto
i am not a planet no matter how hard i try
i do not look like them or take up enough space
i hope you enjoyed your freedom
i'll always feel out of place

napo day 4 'social suicide'


my emotions kiss me and they feel
like a torrential ocean with waves so big
they become a tsunami not sweeping
me along at the surface but instead the waves
center of mass pounding down on me
crushing my bones into sand where i stand
burying me deeply in the earth before
dragging it forward in a harsh current
with my broken corpse inside

iamnotenoughiamnotenough
these are my deep breaths
icantmakethisupicantkeepfriends
relax lean back let the silence kill you
iwasneverlovedicantsurvivechange
it's alright everything will stay the same

napo day 4 'its a late night'

hi i want to die refer me to a help line
i cry you ask me why i say my minds not right
and then you ask a million questions about
my middle name my birthday my home state
you ask about my parents and my address
before you ask me when i last ate and
i multiply and divide the things you say
in my distorted mind even to you
im a number in a system you're trying to compute
but you just wanna help right here to dissuade
me from crushing my fate with my lack of faith
and i pretend im alright i was joking
i changed my mind i still feel it welling inside
my entire body telling me to die
but i just wanna be alright
shut my computer
and say goodnight

napo day 9 'autism often talks'

bounce me like a ball off the wall
on the walk drag my body down the hall
leaving residue like chalk as you walk
you care you really do why am i not like you
i'm always in a mood it's true unpleasantness
it's my default to brood uncaring and quite rude
unintentionally making people disapprove
at this point it's just what i do a true calling
honesty is my policy and i'm not very shrewd
terrible for telling people when they're screwed
my jokes are often cued by verbal inconsistencies
in pronunciation or definition because i might
just be more of a dictionary than i am a man
a thesaurus of special interests and words read
long ago when i still had an attention span
and now i'm always on autopilot like a robot champ
i spit words out in person loquaciously as though
everyone in the world knows what bodacious means
a middle school reading level scholar an intellectual
passed all my highschool english classes with honors
and now it seems i've been deemed to not
speak the same language as commoners
i've got most of the same complexities of a human
but apparently none of the same indicators
in short my exaltations are my faults
i was never taught being smart
meant being forgotten
but here we are

napo day 11 'liquor cabinet lament'

my memories of youth are dim distant
i can't seem to keep them from slipping
but i know your display cabinet holds
colorful bottles of bitter liquid
instead of antiquated dishes
your bathroom is full of razors
and dark colors instead of ceramic fishes
your voice holds anger and hope
and i could never tell the difference
your fist leaves holes in the walls
it would only take plaster to fix it
but you always left it dented
my mother was a woman who was afflicted
when she slept i can remember her face
she looked pessimistic her dreams
pushed her into addiction and then
i was a problem i was an addition
you didn't understand no wanted a kid
violence only changes its pace or victim
its funny its sad you've never changed
they say craziness is in staying the same
you expect me to stay but push me away
you want me to take blame do as directed
i want to find my lane and be unaffected
you drag my peace asking me questions
about life later on in painted lenses
where you've obscured all your wrongs
all the pain you've inflicted
why is your baby so full of hatred
when i remember my face hitting the wall
i can still taste it in my mind
i still feel your work boot in my ribs
is that how you treat a kid?
is that how you treat a kid!
you're sober now some say it's over now
i sometimes wish you still had alcohol
so there would be something to blame it on
you are or you aren't ashamed
can't rewind time

but you can wind your fist back
so hit me again yell again
pay me to care

maybe i used to but
never again

these liquor cabinets
and suppressed memories
from when i was just a kid
just a little kid
