You’ve hurt me Do you know that? Did you even notice While you tore me to shreds Then wiped your feet on the pieces Did it occur to you That what you were doing Ripped me apart? You never saw me, never knew Did you? Well here we are Tables turned I am you…
Repetitive History
Self-defeating Self-repeating Endless loop of error Pointing, blaming Soul defaming Living life in terror Misconstruing Always doing Everything all wrong Isolating Sneering, hating Why can’t I belong?
