Eavesdropping (Momentary Mid-Lib)

The things you overhear hear can be so hard to rid,
Just fill in the blanks below from a fucked up Mad Lib -

“Aw, what happened?!
He was such a _____ kid!
I’ll tell you what happen!
Its from all those damn _______ that he did…”

“Didn't he used to be kind of athletic?
He seems pretty out of _____.
Um, can we talk about the aesthetic?!
All I sees a raisin, but he ______ to be a grape!”

“It seems he _____ amount to much,
I used to have such high hopes for him….
I _____ if it was from a women's touch?
Did a broken heart turn him to sin?”

Poor kid… well, I wish him the best!
He’ll probably fade ____ completely, if I had to guess.
But maybe he just needs a little rest…
Though he failed it once,
I’ll pray he ______ you can always retake the test. “

Now, I know I may have forced your hand
To have filled this out in a certain, self-defeating way,
But just know there is no permanently set plan,
And that better words could still come one day.

Mainly post poetry. Tends to lean towards the depressing side. Occasional attempts imploring my gallows humor. Likely an undiagnostic nihilists…
