Pain Face

March 26, 2026 











When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter,
And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

Narcissist
Enemies
I Got a List

Admire Me
Fantasy
Total Lack
Of Empathy

Shame &
Entitlement
Fragility &
Discontent

Hate & Envy
Exploitation
Constant Need For
Validation

Rage &
Jealousy
I'm So Special
Look At Me

Honesty Is My Policy

				January 1, 2025

				

					
















I told Candace Walter's cheating
I told Megan she was fat
I said Gail's looks are fleeting
And that's such an ugly hat

I told Dan his son's a loser
And his wife is scarfing pills
I told Frankie he's a boozer
They should pay me for my skills

I told Ted his breath is frightful
It could make an angel cry
The truth is so delightful
I'm a great and fearless guy

I'm tenacious and observant
I refuse to pull my punches
I'm a real public servant
They should honor me at lunches

I'm a paladin of virtue
In a world of falsity
If reality can hurt you
You're a fool for blaming me

Losers Gonna Loser

				December 7, 2024

				

					
















Ticky tacky talk
They sneak and stalk
And lie and mock
And put you in a box

They take you down 
And break you down
They're never leaving
This old town

Avoid abusers and accusers 
Losers gonna loser
I'm not a beggar
I'm a chooser

They take you down
And break you down
They're never leaving
This old town

They'll never let you be
But they can't shackle me
They're just a memory
I'm happy flying free

They take you down
And break you down
They're never leaving 
This old town

hanging on to my hatred

				August 2, 2024

				

					
















I hang on to my hatred
Cuz it tastes so good
It's safe and familiar
Like my neighborhood

I hang on to my hatred
Cuz it knows my name
Wagging that tail
It's totally tame

I hang on to my hatred
Cuz it's always the same
It doesn't go changing
And hurting my brain

I hang on to my hatred
To ward off the pain
It's a great place to hide
From the Universal stain

I hang on to my hatred
So the acid in my guts
Can find a new home
Instead of driving me nuts

Fools and Fixations

				June 6, 2024

				

					











Slimy little courtier
Smiling in my face
Stabbing every back
Like you're running a race

Pain and addictions
Happy little fictions
Hiding in a story
Swearing you adore me

Lies and resentment
Bitterness and rage
Destruction distraction
The end of an age

Fools and fixations
Endless conversations
You cannot escape
What's in front of your face

Close your eyes and cloister your heart
Pretend away the hurt when things fall apart

by Richard W. Bray

friend of a friend

				April 13, 2024

				

					












We met at a party
At somebody's house
You laughed at my jokes
I complimented your blouse

Been checking your profile
Every now and then
I'm not some crazy stalker
I'm a friend of a friend

Drinking with your girlfriends
Your high school reunion
That night in Miami
Your nephew's Communion

We should really hang out
Won't you please tell me when?
We got so much in common
I'm a friend of a friend

Fate brought us together
I can feel it in my bones
Won't you give me your number?
I don't wanna be alone

How could you block me?
This can't be the end
We met for a reason
I'm a friend of a friend

You Ruined My Life—Send Money

				February 9, 2024

				

					












You're a horrible person
And a deadbeat pop
You wouldn't bail me out
When I ran over that cop

You bought me diamonds and furs
And Lamborghinis
But you won't bribe the judge
You're such a grumpy old meanie

I'm headed for the slammer
It's not very funny
You ruined my life
Send money

On my seventh birthday
I got five hundred dolls
I called you a monster
Cuz I wanted them all

I stomp and I scream
When I don't get my way
Everything's your fault
I'm gonna make you pay

Don't apologize
And don't call me Honey
You ruined my life
Send money

My credit cards are maxed
I can't pay my bills
Who's gonna cover
My parties and pills?

You're a horrible ogre
And a stupid jerk
You said it's time to grow up
Like you expect me to work

You should support my dreams
Come rainy skies or sunny
You ruined my life
Send money

my shameless rhapsody

				December 15, 2023

				

					











You learned to hit a curveball
From another kid's dad
My tale is endless woe
A monument of sad

You can cuss me, you can curse me
You can put me in my place
You can slam the front door
In my stupid f---ing face

Every volume on the shelf is a song about myself
My whole universe is me and my shameless rhapsody

I thought freedom was heroic
It was just a cloak of lies
Only fools are gonna mourn
When the hallucination dies

I got no right to be proud
Of the man that you became
My only solace in life
Is that you bear my name

Every volume on the shelf is a song about myself
My whole universe is me and my shameless rhapsody

Tell Yourself a Story

				November 7, 2023

				

					











I spent a whole lot of years
In an imaginary race
Learning to ignore
What was in front of my face

Forty-seven lies
And a bottle of gin
Tell yourself a story
Every time you don't win

I lived a sprawling dream
I signed above the line
Took a spin around the world
With my head in my behind

Forty-seven lies
And a bottle of gin
Like I never even saw
All the places I've been

Like a good little soldier
I had a happy little life
While every nephew and his uncle
Took a turn with my wife

Forty-seven lies
And a bottle of gin
I wonder if my son
Is my next of kin

Built myself a mansion
Then I tore it all down
When your whole life tumbles
It barely makes a sound

Forty-seven lies
And a bottle of gin
Tell yourself a story
Every time you don't win

Forty-seven lies
And a bottle of gin
Tell yourself a story
Every time you don't win

always talking trash

				October 21, 2023

				

					





















You always talk so much trash
About everyone you know
Are you insecure?
Or are you just an asshole?

You always talk so much trash
It's getting really old
Did you have a bad day?
Or are you just an asshole?

You always talk so much trash
Such an active piehole
Are you trying to impress?
Or are you just an asshole?

You always talk so much trash
Like you think we don't know
What you say when we're not here
God, you're such an asshole!

by Richard W. Bray
