i loved growing up
has disappointed me
those aren't my words
but it's a theme
I've noticed
finding out this writer
that rock star
such and such actor
is
was
human
human
makes mistakes
questionable ethics
were young once
struggled with
mental illness
substance abuse
hard influences
everyone has had darkness
sorry but
the ones you haven't already
turned your backs on
the ones who've died
seemingly saints
were just better at hiding
their filth
their humanity
no one should have to carry
every fucking mistake
forever.
