You Were Never the Victim
Wow, this is the best poetry book in the world.
I love how deep it is.
That one poem is so funny my heart skipped a beat.
I couldn’t take my eyes off of the pages.
And the most amazing part is,
It sucked.
A lot.
Who were you expecting, a white knight?
I’ve heard these jokes before in checkout lanes.
And the customers in front of me never knew you existed.
I’m not that pretentious.
But you are.
I do not have double standards.
But you do.
Someone whose castle is built on mediocrity can’t scare me into hiding.
But someone else might be.
The moat is heavily guarded by trolls that can ruin their lives
If they refuse to walk on eggshells around you.
I keep pointing out your flaws
But you never even see them.
Instead, you fired a bomb into the crowd
And ecstatically handed the cannon to me.
You impersonate a traumatized child so onlookers would feel bad for you
And point their fingers at me at the drop of the hat,
Leaving me with nothing else to say in my defense.
I’m beginning to believe you love the drama more than you love your craft.
You’ve thrown burnt bridges in the wind today and I’m off to the pen,
But I’ll let you have your fun for now.
I have stowed away in the back of the truck to escape my sentence,
But I’ve come back to fight you with a rocket.
I’ve been ready for perfect storms since my old flame tried to kill himself.
And pinned the blame on me because he wanted me all to himself.
I have nothing to lose if you play the “defenseless child” act again.
You may have been one locked in a tower once upon a time.
But you grew up to be a dragon and imprisoned someone else.
It’s not my fault that you made yourself look worse.
It’s yours.
You can stop lying to me now.
I know you were never the victim.
