"Everyone wants an audience
even if the life on display is mundane.
Everyone wants a pat on the back
even when nothing has been accomplished.
Everyone wants a break
even though the working hours were spent half-ass-ed.
Everyone wants criticism to shut the fuck up
while ignoring how positive criticism creates critical thinking.
Everyone wants negativity out, thinks it cruel
even though the comments are made upon a life
purposely shared in public.
Everyone wants to get sucked off
even if that means sucking the cock of the guy to the right
in order to get sucked off by the guy on the left.
Everyone loves an audience."
— My Life in the Circle Jerk (a poem) via chapter "Everyone Wants"
