Jun 2016
under the gaslight
I'd like to take a moment
to thank you please
I'd like to thank you please
for all that you've done
making me the one
the chosen one
I'd like to thank you please
for making me the object
of torment you can't keep inside
your most insidious lies, resentment and disdain
I'd like to thank you please
for the all the different ways
the sneaky different ways
it all came out sideways
I'd like to thank you please
for teaching me my pain
my blessed, pious pain
helping me understand it's my fault
for showing me
how to mend my ways
and all your praise
I'd like to thank you please
for stirring it in my kool-aid
that made it go down easy
I'd like to thank you please
thank you, please
thank you, please
thank you, please
