Paroles : Drive thru poem
I knew I hit rock bottom when the only person who seemed to care was a fastfood worker.
I rolled up to the drive thru at a quarter to midnight and he asked me how I was.
I hadn’t been asked that in what felt like eternity so I answered honestly, I said ‘You know, it’s been a rough night.’
He said ‘Well in that case, you’ve come to the right place.’
And in that moment, as dumb as it sounds, I felt cared about.
Something that I hadn’t felt in forever.
I mean sure, I had been fake cared about.
I’ve had empty ‘How are you’s asked through gritted teeth.
Abandoned “I’m here for you’s placed out of pity.
But if I disappeared of the grit,
an eye wouldn’t bat and a grin wouldn’t fade.
But maybe that fastfood worker would care,
with the fries he’d made.
Maybe he’d wonder why my eyes were so filled with hurt.
Maybe he’d ask me if i wanted a burger with that shake too.
Maybe he’d ask me that, the same way I wished someone would ask me if I wanted a hug with my sh*tty night in that drive thru.
