TRUST FUND TRASH GOES AWRY
An Unfortunate Saga in Rhyme
by Jessica DePue


Never deprived became depraved
Parent's love ever handsomely paid
Excessive investments withdrawn from accounts
Of failing good manners and consumer clout
Flailing endeavors gradually surpassed
Expectations of law school or PhD brass
Golden boy became the family black sheep
Inheritence insulating his conflicted fleece
From get go got paranoid, gone off the deep end
Glorified follies, creases deepened
Beverly Thrills gagged repulsive to acne
Acutane's rescue beckoned legalities
This medicated skin care he deemed too intense
Behavioral side effects: the price of clear skin
Bitter to boot, adored hating women
Oedipus cycles were his fateful given
His ego deflated, influx between sex
Retreats into money when things get complex
Horrific reality of Fitzgerald glamour
Romantic banality suggested as favor
Ladies dropped in left mostly distraught
Caught unawares in manipulative plots
To his sordid burdens Psychosis no stranger
A twit striving towards bastardhood,
Fucking dog in the manger
