Nail Hitting Truth

Listen to poem:
Nail hitting with a hammer too heavy to bear Smashed emotions; hammered, without care Boards held together, but; will soon fall apart No care given to the sad boards broken heart Left out in the cold to weather the icy storms This is to be the narcissist’s, bad cruel norms You take as I give you; prove to me your love Stand loyal; and obedient, my little rock dove Your soul long forgotten; remains, unearthed Until you find within you, your own self worth Arise from the splintered and shattered wood And fly to freedom; as only a rock dove could But don’t play the victim it was your own fault By playing the victim by your own sad default
