Albatross
Light dims in my halo as I am discouraged by the greed.
Wants becoming so desired they are justified as needs.
Why do you prey on the emotions of another?
Smiling in their face like you don't discuss them with others.
Even though I avoid the bs don't think I do not know what was said.
Everything from what I wear, how I act, to the voices in my head.
Why are my words so important to you?
Stop pretending I never did for you and your family when we argue.
One ugly comment after another especially on the topic of weight.
Your words are like poison as you utter nothing but hate.
It's funny how you sit there hanging tightly to ever word.
Trying to call it as you see it but your vision is blurred.
Yes I know you're on here stalking my page.
It is I who feel sorry for you because the ignorant rat doesn't realize it's caged.
