Dear no named,
How does it feel taking the blame,
Drowning in sacrificial shame?
In a world which you are nobody,
You can never be somebody.
Are your actions worth it,
Even if they leave you destitute?
Is it not that you are aware,
Is it not that you are in despair?
Have I not been emphatic,
Thinking with your heart will get you nowhere....
So today I donāt feel emphatic
Exhaustion has taken over me
Destitute of any proper ideas
My bed and pillow are all I can see.
So please donāt get me wrong
If I donāt make any sense today
Just being awake feels sacrificial
Canāt keep my sleep at bay.
Iāll try to behave better tomorrow
And write something more interesting
For now Iāll drift to La La Land
Canāt wait until Iām sleeping.
(Best I co...
This that we are going through will leave many destitute.
We are told to not go outside
Only what is necessary,
many are used as sacrificial pawns
groceries, gasoline, juices, dispensaries
consumerās no longer empathetic
Essential workers exposing themselves
Why do people feel entitled to great customer service
Dangling customer is always right in their faces.
Respect has been forgotten in tim...
āLet us out!ā They yell, surely emphatic
If the days had ends, it would be quite climactic
If your still working, you are sacrificial
For companies and employees, nothing is mutually beneficial
Unemployment will keep you from becoming destitute
Get paid to stay home, right in that birthday suit
...
Iāve been on my own for too long,
I canāt keep up with myself,
Iām left destitute, slowly crumbling,
There is nothing else I can do
You made your promises like soap bubbles,
They looked beautiful at a glance,
As they come closer, they melt away,
There is nothing else I can do for you
I am the sacrificial lamb you offer up,
You parade me in private, and hide me in public,
It was never about me, ...
Why do I feel pathetic
For feeling emphatic?
Like Iām being used
And ran through like credit.
I would be sacrificial
For the ones I love most
I get too attached
And donāt know how to let go
I get too close
And when the energy isnāt returned
It leaves a empty hole like the nostril
At the bottom of my nose šŖ
I know I canāt be what you want
I canāt be him or her
Iām a liability and an absol...
