wilted
abusive is the way you talk
as if my goals aren't high enough
showing no remorse for my pain
and beating me down into shame
pursuing dreams that aren't even my own
doing it for pay that's not even worth it
if there was ever a soul in that monster
it was probably swallowed long ago
from greed and a need for prestige
it is never your back that is broken
so you threaten me with replacement
as if you could
you're a fucker, not dumb
because no one would put up with this shit
so I hold no cards, but I do own a mirror
what I see for myself is pride
when I turn it your way
I wonder what you might see
is it the cruel dictator?
no, it probably is a delusion
where you fancy yourself a rebel
a hero for the common folk
but to me you're an abuser
that sucks the life out of everyone
with every little disgusting word

I'm almost on my feet applauding, DC!!
Even when absolutely feeling the anger there's still a metered thoughtfulness to the pace.... it's epic juxtaposition. Your last 5 lines or so end your piece with such killer verbal retribution.... that it's 100% applause worthy. Thanks for showing us meeker types (me!) how to let it rip and pen a smackdown that's smart, eloquent and fucking brutal all in unison.
I hope things improve soon and that your purge helped to relieve what you might of needed!
Warm regards,

That's such a great compliment. I very much appreciate the read 😁. Sometimes with my job it as a battle. You win some and lose some. The frustrating part is knowing things would be better off if it wasn't for the needless pressure.
thanks again.
thanks again.
