of spiteful revenge:
psychopaths, sociopaths, nahcissists
or sum uthah type of predatah
with a personal agendah
to control they'ah victum
Until it becomes
a not-so-subtle way ah life
embedded in deceitful maneuvahs
with they'ah own arsenal
of dirty blueprints
Tha innocent go down ...

Wounded
Up he'yah in these mount'ns
lessons ah hahd as wintah
Too much weight
on ah frozen lake'll crack it
from ah branch'll snap it
in a hart'll break it
Thas exactly what ya want
'caus then ya don't have ta worry
bout it breaking no more
Long time ago I discovah'd
I was hurt'n myself
by tak'n things all personal;
it's not what was said
but what I was think'n;
tha uffend'd, hurt, angry paht
is ya wound talk'n
an ya wound is tell'n ya...

Why Mercy Me
Yeah, we know
ya favorite subject is you
shore talk ya up a'nough
ev'ry chance ya get
Not give'n two shits
bout lady-like behaviah
proudly pro'claim'n
"Fuck this fuck that
fuck you too!
Cause I'm a badass!"
Believe me, we know
Hunny, le'me tell ya a secret;
a man like that de'siyahs
a woman with spunk and class
Let's admit it . . .
the latter you jes ain't got
Why mercy me!
where ah my mannahs?!
Ya done found that out
Tha hard way, I see

# Karma
They's an old say'n
amid moun'tn folk
true as true can be
I reckon
Ya can't push a snowball
down tha slope
then jes walk away
Whatever it hits
ya responsible;
whatever it destroys
ya liable
Ya can scream
til tha cows come home
Or til tha avalance
covers ya up
Buried in tha drift
of yah own mak'n
still yell'n,
"I was jes tend'n
my own garden!"
Think for ya...

Buried in tha drift

Bully Bang'n Gossip
hang'n rumors on tha line
Feel'n good bout push'n
other people 'round
Mis'rable married matron
with a few on the side
Jilted junkie, pitiful drunkie
pining unrequited "love"
Heart a break'n bitter obseshun
believ'n, if'n only it could'a been
Blam'n u'thahs for what wasn't
say'n, Ain't none of it on me!
He weren't ne'vah intrested
past a cyber whor'n dab
You was jes an open windah
in a long-ass line of tabs
But ain't that how tha story goes
behind...

Cybah Sistahs
I wonder bout'm
sometimes
How they got how they are
what circumstance
could'a made 'em so bittah
Is it their hair colah
a shady past
unrequitted love
a jilted affaih
Or it is somethin' green
seeded in they'ah heart
sprouting roots ah jealousy
toxic to they'ah blood
What'evah could be tha reason
for'em holding on so tight
feeding off tha others spite
until they'ah own is ripe

Rumor Mill
Up in these mountains
ya learn a thing or two
Rumors can't extinguish Light
only yourself over time
But ya ain't gonna listen
til it bites ya in the ass
Ya dim more every second
ya gossip 'bout someone else
While they jus get more bright
goin' bout they own biz'ness
Might be kinda different
if'n it was ya experience, hon
not what'cha heard--
But still
what's done is done
'til ya learn
I reckon
ya learn a thing or two
Rumors can't extinguish Light
only yourself over time
But ya ain't gonna listen
til it bites ya in the ass
Ya dim more every second
ya gossip 'bout someone else
While they jus get more bright
goin' bout they own biz'ness
Might be kinda different
if'n it was ya experience, hon

But still
what's done is done
'til ya learn

Ain't nevah too late
My mama always said
Bettah late than nevah
ain't nevah too late
I guess she was right
bout certain things
especially birthdays
Mah line of work rarely
affords sentimentalism
ya know, be'n what it is
Nevah really found time
for such things; howevah
your case is an exception
So Happy Bettah-late-
than-nevah Birthday wishes
May ya have much happiness
I he'ah the cake
was exceptional this ye'ah
I'm sure you enjoyed slice'n it
🎂

What Love Ain't
I've spent a fair
mou'na time watchin'
people profess'n
ta love one'uther
Iearned a few things
observ'n behaviah
but mostly I learned
what Love ain't:
hold'n on ta
someone who left
ya in tha past;
carry'n pretense
as a handbag
of makeup
to hide truth
behind a poor-
pitiful-me mask;
blam'n tha uther
for tha choices
ya willingly made;
stick'n ya hand
in'a fire, then cry'n
'bout blistah'd pain
.

Transparent
is what ya are
Clearly crystal
not even through a glass darkly
but right out in tha open
Wish'n she
was out'a ya way
As if it'd make
one bit'a difference
As if ya
could ever compete
with even her memory
Truth of tha matter?
She'd gladly step aside
desir'n his contentment
despite ya bitter heart
If'n that's what it took
ta Love and be Loved
in this world

Nevah Ya Own. . .
Drama Queen fault.
Always someone else's
his, hers, sum uthas
Them's, their's
But nevah ya own
frum actions ya chose
Christ in'a cartoon
ain't no one hold'n tha bag
but you
.
Exercise loyalty
( start with ya husband )
an sum might be returned
Because you damn sure
ain't no helpless victim
eat'n tha betrayal ya sown
when harvest time
comes home ta roost
.

"Hunny"
All the drama in the World
won't work like it did
when you was young(er)
want'n attention;
misconceptions of
victimizations projected
frum ya own perception
onto listen'n ears
ah knights in training
jes hopin' they champion
ya self-inflicted misery
Poor poor Penelope
tied up on tha tracks agin
from choices she made
to lie down on 'em
Here's the thing, "Hunny"
bitchin an bully'n
will only git ya the same
in the long run cause
ya reap what ya sow
while cry'n ya a good...
