There is no roadmap For love The only way to get there Is by going off The beaten track To forge a path Of your own Until you find A heart to call Your home

Yo, hi, hello. I'm just your standard sarcastic, cynical, satirical guy who doesn't care much for acting in an 'age appropriate' manner, whatever that means. I write poetry and short stories. Want to know anything else? -> https://mspoetry.com/whos-matt
No End In Sight
There’s no end to the madnessThere’s no end to the crazeThere’s no end to the lunacyThis is more than a phase There’s no end to the frenzyNow we’ve set it ablazeThere’s no end to the follyOf the human race There’s no end to the stupidThere’s no fucking escapeWe just keep on makingAll the same mistakes [...]
untitled
Life was never meant to beA competitionA battle for positionA fight for recognition But instead of working side by sideWe’re locked in oppositionOnly ever focused onAchieving our own ambitions Completing our own missionTo the detriment of the widerHuman condition Remember greater power comesFrom fusion not fissionSo why is our societySo hell-bent on division What we [...]

Another 100 words in 100 seconds
Another writing exercise where I gave myself 100 seconds to write a story, before editing down to 100 words. It seemed too good to be true. Not only had this muppet dropped his keys, but posted online whereabouts he’d lost them, even adding his address, requesting whoever finds them pop them through his letterbox as [...]

Ramblings: Sex Ed
It was announced recently that, for the first time in twenty years, the Sex Education syllabus in England is set to be rewritten. About damn time.
