A Heavy Burden

Sticks and stones may break my bones And Ed Sheeran may say “that’s okay baby, only words bleed” Tight jeans, thick thighs, flabby arms and… Weight. So the comment section rise in height and pain Thus the confession begins: Those who give shall receive So think twice before you judge me As I’ve been generous in my past Questions appear while answers disappear She who gave me life He who build me up Never asked yet your ‘concern’ is heavy Sticks and stones does break my bones and I ain’t screaming “I’ am titanium!” Each word becomes an immortal And walks in silence yet being so loud Shame glimmers As sour thoughts blossom And judgment paves a path Poisoning itself to its own demise The bitter truth is that I wish to be the person you ‘need’ to see But also to seal your foul lips As the chemical melts its way on them And as I hear you choke six feet under Making us equal A suppressed mirth spreads its wings “Muhahahahahahahahaaaa!”
