HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY MOTHERFUCKEER

i am the 42 yo
birthday boy
who had a long
rough day so far
and mostly didn’t
take it too seriously

and my wife
has 2 step
brothers who
are assholes
although i
love them
anyway
and would be by
their side if
they truly
needed me

however they are
mean spirited
privileged little
fucks who think
they can do what
they please
say what they want
and not have
consequences
or be found out

and they pick away
at my wife who can
certainly be difficult
but not in the way
they portray

and the most vocal
and pushy of the two
would not stop today

so i stopped him

happy birthday
to me motherfucker
that you backed off
for i had an endless
stream of pain to
offer your ego out of
the kindness of my
heart that loves the
real you
not this collection
of props you hold
together with
bailing twine and
chewing gum

now you know
and the rest
of your family knows
that i’m not sitting
here listening for
my own safety but will
leap into the fire with
my own torch
a beacon
of pure unknowing
a blade
that slashes and slays
all projections and
judgements

let it be known

it is raw honest truth
and a pulsing weapon
of unconditional love
