Poisonous Apple
9/1/21
You need to know
To each their own
Fast to treat you like cattle
Tempt you with a poisonous caramel dipped apple
Quick to pick a battle
Thinking I've been fragile
On me they would tattle
Because they think it'll rattle
And cause me to unravel
But that will
Just push me further on in my travels
I'm not surprised, it never baffled
Or left me bedazzled
Since you caused such a hassle
Choke you out with your own tassels
Or just make you eat my dust and gravel
They love to cackle
And prattle
Funny because they're nothing special, like a king or queen in a castle
The way in which it was done was sloppy or surgical
As I move around horizontal and vertical
They always try to make it personal
This world can be unmerciful
There's more to it than you and your convertible
Wow
In each and every town
Is snakes and clowns
So quick to put others down
And to turn the whole conversation around
I'm going to hold my ground
Your B.S. and ignorance will not be allowed
