You're Allowed to Be Grumpy

YOU’RE ALLOWED TO BE GRUMPY

You’re allowed to be grumpy

You’re not allowed to be 

An asshole to yourself

You’re allowed to be grumpy

And every other feeling

Your vast human soul can manage

But it’s

A sign of an adult mind

To afford yourself the same kindness

That we’d afford others

When we’re grumpy


You’re allowed to be grumpy

You’re not allowed to be 

A vicious, evil, cunt 

Spewing filth at your own soul

You’re allowed to be grumpy

Especially during

The apocalypse

A sign of an adult mind

To afford yourself the same kindness

That we’d afford others

When we’re grumpy

You’re allowed to be grumpy
