Great Expectations

Great Expectations

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

I expect the same thing from your friends and family

I’m sure they all think I’m lazy

Worthless

A huge piece of shit

Not worth the skin I’m printed on

Roll your eyes

Call me a dork

Buy me a beer and a shot

Hanging with me is cheap

A new job has my free time at a premium

Am I okay?

5 months ago I got engaged

6 weeks ago I lost both of my jobs

2 weeks ago my relationship ended

And I was kicked to the curb

The new job will kill my college career

I’m doing great

Sarcasm

Don’t do anything irrational

Like what?

Pop a handful of pills?

Wash it down with a bottle of wine

And hang from the edge of a tall bridge by my fingertips

I’ve always had a way with words

A useless skill at the new job

It’s not my career for life

It could open some doors

You can laugh at me

Laugh at my negativity

Help me find the smallest pinpoint of light

I don’t have an ex worth $90,000 a year

Just waiting to try again

It will take me more than a few days

To be a happy, happy boy

I’m the biggest lowlife piece of shit ever

You don’t think so?

I’m trying to be positive

Things look pretty fucking bleak

All because of my great expectations
