New Poem Just Shut Your Mouth and Pay the Bills

New Poem Just Shut Your Mouth and Pay the Bills


Just shut your mouth and pay the bills.
I have a variety of ills
headaches that keep me on the couch
my shoulder hurts
I cant go out
the kitchens dirty,
it bothers me
I need something but it isnt you
dont talk to me
I cant stand you.

Just shut your mouth and pay the bills.
Maybe its all these pills
maybe I just need to move away
start the family we talked about?
maybe after you
stop acting out.

Just shut your mouth and pay the bills.
Its like we have a clash of wills
I grew up a certain way
you dont understand, dont touch me
you sound just like my father
or your father
or any other man dont bother
me today, yesterday or tomorrow
I dont want you
so dont chase after me
dont follow
or tell me that you love me
because I cant be loved
I cant be loved, Im damaged.
It doesnt matter what you say
so please

just shut your mouth and pay the bills.
