June 2

He's writing his unhappy ending
but the dictions not fitting
he's clenching his fists
then tearing and ripping
I'm wrinkled than crumpled
when fumbled I tumble
into a garbage bundle
where I slumber a little
next to an empty bag of Skittles
a dribble of Pabst
soaking the lining of the bag
the stench drifting through the pad
the pile flowing like a geyser
which repulses said writer
pulling drawstring tighter
he throws the pile in the dump
of the slums he calls home
all alone self-proclaimed punk
the junk an allusion
to the illusion consuming
his person
delusion and confusion
disconcerting he's hurting
for purpose

I really really like this one. The flow of the first 7 lines as well as line 19-24 is awesome. This rhyme swells with emotion, very well done!
