~•§•~ Condition Critical ~•§•~

by bettsjc187

I can feel every eye roll And all I did was pour out what was left of my soul Looks like I might be the only one to see it from that angle Like it's painful I brush it off and project as being humble Really I'm only diminishing what makes me emotional It's just standard business as usual A series of unfortunate events themed carousel The victim blaming has become so casual That I somehow become the spectacle Put a screen between us and then I bet they'd care though Convinced themselves I'm some kind of animal Chomping at the bit, waiting to say "I told you so" Waiting for said moment from the get go Was it always the plan to poke at the volcano? The saying only mentions a bear, though the volcano makes it more...what's the word...I don't know, disasterful... That's not a word but that's what came to mind cause the mind isn't always rational Whatever, anyway, on a long enough timeline you're bound to get burnt, we're all flammable A majority of us are expendable Not essential even if dependable Reluctantly invited to the annual shiit show The HUD flashes on arrival "WARNING WARNING, CONDITION CRITICAL!" But we've been lied to before, for example Take a look at religion and the political What's actual? What's factual? And what's just another game by Hasbro? What are you looking at me for? I don't fuuckin' know Try tying it to a white flag and running it up the flagpole ©2024
