Absent Minded

walking life lesson (story reads differently depending where you pause for breath)

My name is Troy
i am surrounded by biblical metaphors
nothing i did on purpose

My friend
her name is Angel
i want to describe her
so u would understand the life lesson here
she isnt perfect upon first examination is all i will say
and many people look her once over and never get to know her
last winter she had to kcick out her two room mates and their 3 kids

I have an old acquaintance
his nickname he goes by as he sells drugs is Satan
our history is very short
i never knew him long
i respect him
dont like him
and i know he doesnt like me
he is not perfect upon first examination either
and i know even angels have stories
and i wonder if they were humbled by a liar
or just a forgetfull god

I have a boyfriend and sometimes he tells me he is god
wether jokingly or serious he has told me that more than once
we tell eachother we love one another
and in our passions there are times we fight
i have recieved the kiss of death
he looks younger than he is
he is older than me
and if my life were a show you would see how he is so very forgetfull
in a sense he would be in danger of stealing the spotlight

I am Troy
much of what i write im either being blatantly honest delusional
caring for the world or piecing together my own life
i have no job to help my brother
my father never calls
and my mother and I usually see eye to eye
i wonder when people see me and my friends in a crowd
if they would guess
im surrounded in biblical metaphors of life lessons
just walking down the street
and i have become a product
of everyone around me
who has probably served his purpose

I just need a Gabrielle now
another imperfect angel
to screw up gods plan of killing me
like he does in my nightmares
and then i can be immortal too
and suffer forever
and then satan will be happy?
i guess it doesnt matter
no matter what happens
wether i win or lose
laugh or cry
someone is benefiting from it

it just depends on how you twist the words and where you pause to get your several different stories
