Punk is Dead

by

Michael H. Nguyen

 

I tried              so hard

                        to tell you of my life

 

when I was young

            we were punks

 

immediately

            you spat in my face

                        said punk is dead

your belief was fake

            the sex pistols created the scene

and the scene died with a vicious man

back in 79

 

fuck that hurt to have that said

from you

I thought you’d understand

 

I should have said

            fuck you          and fuck your words

the scene was still strong in 79

in new york and LA

            passed right on to the IE

            and didn’t die because one man in the UK

                        passed away or because

someone weak claimed punk is dead

to feel superior in the unique

 

it went on

            I should have said

            fuck you for denying the people

            I love the life I lived               my beliefs

 

but

I didn’t

 

I held my thoughts in              quietly

            wondered how you would feel if

you were told the live you lived wasn’t real

 

it was fake

            all the shit you believed it was some cosmic joke

cause someone had done something

                                                similar the day before

 

            I said none of this

            didn’t want you to cry

It’s not who I am

and I won’t admit to who I’ve never been

 

I love you for who you are

            accept you as such without much regard

as I tried to think        think of what to say

as I opened the door to your car

said goodbye sweetheart

that night

            we went our separate way
