Being torn apart

Limb from limb

Knife through the heart

But it’s not a horror film

You watch it

And enjoy it

Sending chills
through my skin

You sit there and see
me suffering

With a sinister grin

I shudder within

More people must hurt

So you can give more sympathy

Perverting empathy

Because misery loves company

Haven’t you taken enough from me?

My dreams…?

…The best of me?

You didn’t reach yours goals

So you stole the ones that were left in me



Putting a dollar in the hand

Of a homeless man

So you can feel better

About your own situation

Self- Satisfaction

Public humiliation

Inside joke

Spoke with no consideration

Of the hell I’m really facing

And the thought of me failing

Keeps your heart racing

No need to lie

I can see it in your eyes

You’re hoping

Waiting

Praying

For my demise…
