Slow Bows

It’s quite compelling how the felon becomes the victim expelling any responsibility or failings 
just innocence sailing the calm then encountering harm that false charm preventing any lessons or altered behaviour progressively ascending confidence but cons are dense 
carry on and re-enter danger circumstantial stranger explainer very unemotional point and blamer relying on superior intellectual properties to dodge accountability the impossibilities 
silly little liars unpleasant deniers transparently apparent and to anyone present totally repellent 
because people get found out 
first round nailed it down 
second round doubt found 
third round knocked out 
found out 
no truth in your mouth 
action drought 
actual lout 
reputation drowned 
now lonely been disowned with your known true tone exposed everyone knows you’re fake you’re a fibber trying to dig out a sneaky sliver lying to strangers while you’re friendships wither and now calling yourself a forgiver acting bigger 
with no one close because you’re a hoax 
one of those grown up damaged blokes 
savage jokes holding hope delusional loops and chapter hoops 
denying you ever did anything wrong 
too clever too strong 
when really too weak to ever learn from 
and dearly seeking but everyone’s gone 
cus when truth comes through there’s nothing you can do 
you could give up be honest be true but that’s too much so you stay a delude sticking to the story as if it’ll make it true how sad are you 
a one dimensional lying dude who does what he does cuz he doesn’t do 
the insecure ain’t pure they don’t tell it raw they invent it all ending a lonely individual 
with intellectual properties lost logically a con lost of confidence in defence taking offence but never taken seriously having no friends
