I know who you are
You are a soul taker
A word raper
Thief of dreams
Wake up call
Unapologetic
Worst nightmare
I have never met you
but I see now
what makes the world
an ugly place
It’s you
Ripping humanity’s face off
with your hands
that smell filthy
like money
or with your eyes
that look like murdered dreams
Let everyone follow you
until the end of the road
where it looks like selfish
kept your secret for way too long
It’s lonely there
and everyone is laughing
at you
