Poetry Slam 2

If I could write

I would recite

Every poem from 

Shakespeare, and Poe

Instead I’ll resort to madness

Sit back and listen 

I’m letting my anger flowHere I go!

You need to know

That tonight,

I signed my name on the

Dotted line

With that I’ve resigned my position

Call it providing my disposition

You sunk that ship that

Carried the weight

Of a friendship so great

I never thought it could happen

You gave me faith

In the hate I had hidden away

The decades of separation

Must have convinced me 

That I changed

F*** you!

I’m back with a rage

Ready to lay out your s***

Never mind the script 

That you made

I’ve already memorized the bull****

You claimed!

Don’t assume I need fame

It’s your own filth

That’s engrained with betray

How could you say

That you’re blessed?

Casually walk around 

Like a mess

Using your words to impress

Wearing your mask

In the face of your friends

B****

I’m not blind-

I knew that you had to pretend!

You’re telling me 

I wasted my time

Well in my mind

That’s a cardinal sin!

I’d find a scripture

Pray to the god

You wish would

Come to your rescue

I see you’ve abandoned your faith

Looks like the devil is back

He’s talking about death

There’s no place

For your escape

Doesn’t it feel as if

You’ve been locked

In a cage?

You laughed 

When you were confronted

Continued when your

Behavior was unwanted

Taunted the demon

Growing inside of my soul

B****

I’m taking you to hell with me

Just thought you should know!

There’s a special place

Deep down in the darkness

Where evil can be traced

The fire is calling out your name

You should be forced 

At your will

To be chained!

Slayed-

Along with your shame

 

Let me alter the pace

From here on out

I control this game

 

Thank you 

For making the choice you did

You rather be high 

Than have your kids!

Now I know

What I’m dealing with

Someone should have

Taught you

How to close your lips

Instead you opened your legs

Sold your body to sex

That way you’re set!

Took a 2nd step into

DSHS 

To pick up your check

Cashed in your riches

To buy cigarettes

Its people like you

That I can’t shake

You call losing one child

Just a mistake!?

 

I tried to be the friend

That stood by your side until the end

But your recklessness

Put you back in the same predicament

Who really now

Should be in defense?

 

Long ago I crossed the line

To the other side

Picked up your broken pieces

While ignoring mine

I saved years of compassion

On your situation

Prayed heavily 

That you wouldn’t 

Have created

The son 

You have now-

God had different plans

I guess-

 

Turns out

You’re not even a mother

You’re just like the rest!
