Red Mist

Don’t play games with me,
I’m not in the mood for your words,
It’s your words,
It’s always your words,
Why don’t you stay quiet?
Why don’t you shut up?
Don’t open your mouth ,
If it’s only going to corrupt,
Keep yourself away from everyone,
Stay in the dark if you have to,
If I see your face one more time,
I’ll swear I’ll come after you,
I don’t care what you are,
Or whatever monster you may be,
I am no longer your little boy, 
Who you are longing to see.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
