Dear, Enablers

With blinders on they let the wrong go on

No interventions

No attempts to make it right

Look the other way

Not putting up a fight

 

They must kinda like it

You know

If trust were an *****

Then I’d say they’re looking for a donation

Another one to ***** up

Like cirrhosis of the liver

They’re lookin’ to corrupt another

 

Kinda a sick when you think about it

Acting as if nothing occurred

Forget that pain we condoned

It’s as if I’m a scapegoat, placed on throne

Smiles and chitchat are replaced suddenly

Each with a heavy rock and jagged stones

 

I emerge from the mess; still angry

I don’t fight, No I don’t get revenge

But I’m still angry

What do I do when I’m still angry

I want to cause pain

I want to get them close and turn my back

I want to be the one with the power and the patience

The push them to the brink and fill them with self doubt

But no, I don’t fight

I don’t get revenge

I just get angry.
