It's Not About Them
In your head did it ever occur
these stories are not about her
they’re not unprovoked
attacks or pokes
though some worthy jokes
that were provoked
but note that’s not why they’re wrote.
So what if I put her down with words
is it worse than the daily bullying she served,
stop and think
did you see what you believe to be true,
give reasons you dismiss me as you do.
So she didn’t do the things i say,
Is your exact memory aware of everyday,
you know because you witnessed
or you think I just pitch this like I’m witless,
when I’m factually witty with quickness.
Do you not believe me though you’re no true witness
and opt easy I’ve a mental sickness,
Cus I must admit this,
it is wild and out there, hard to believe,
But your memories offer insights, they won’t deceive,
and I wasn’t sacked I was forced to leave.
I tell these stories cus I’ve been aggrieved
but I’m not avenging nor sympathy my need.
I relive the story
See if it gives more for me
To push forward and see
If I can Restore and set free
my aim my need be a new me
it’s not important if we all agree,
no disrespect but it doesn’t matter to me
won’t change my reality at all you see
I’m not out to win over it’s all done for me.
You know let go, get living
once dealt with maybe forgiven
but letting it go it’s not an option
I deal with it so I can trot on.
If you don’t like it, don’t listen,
and if you don’t listen,
refrain a decision,
as you don’t hear and have no vision.
