Just saw it…
\nthe proof.<\/p>\n
Not that I didn’t already know.<\/p>\n
But, OH how my heart breaks.
\nThese tears, right behind my eyes.<\/p>\n
Spoiled children at the helm
\nwho never found adultness.<\/p>\n
Oh, you!<\/p>\n
As if the shame you already bear
\nisn’t enough.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t enough. It’s never
\nenough for you…<\/p>\n
You TODDLERS!<\/p>\n
Narcissistic brats in suits,
\nties, dresses, and heels.<\/p>\n
Not “satanists” any more than
\nthe bible you thump<\/p>\n
as you spit forth
\nfaux “thoughts and prayers”<\/p>\n
in cover of your crimes.<\/p>\n
Sorry I couldn’t make your winter
\nparty three years ago.<\/p>\n
I don’t like crowds.<\/p>\n
And, I don’t like you.<\/p>\n
Real children, little ones
\nwith smiling faces…<\/p>\n
innocent ones who would
\nwonder why you don’t play fair…<\/p>\n
They are so much better
\nthan you.<\/p>\n
What happened to you?<\/p>\n
What tragedy of your youth
\ntook away your adult soul?<\/p>\n
I’d so like to feel sorry for you,
\nbut, I don’t. I don’t. I can’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
