Why I hate playlists

I shuffle my library of songs

Then I shuffle it again

I might shuffle it five times

Or maybe even ten

•

I shuffle my library of songs

Until It plays the one I want

A melancholy lullaby

I sob into my own shoulder

And act like I don’t know why

•

Guest of honor at my pity party

What a pathetic sight

I blow out the candles and begin to cry

As if i didn’t send out the invites

•

Whirlpool of depression

Swallowed by the waves

I am the siren

My hypnotic blues,

I don’t want to escape

•

I like to pretend it’s random

An act of pure fate

A happen-chance circumstance

Not something I had to curate

•

That’s why I hate playlists

They convict me of my crimes

Admitting the pain is all my fault?

I would rather die
