The Journey

25 June 2021

Give it up

Your cover is blown

You tried to cover up

What you already shown

Always talking

Never truly caring

About people and their problems

Lurking

Waiting for the right time

To hit em with your punch lines

Got em you thought

I got another lame under my belt

Little did you know

I invented the rules of the game

I saw you way before you came

I was weak, I felt

Used abused and abandoned

You employed every tactic you own

To move me into the trap of comfort

Wrap me up in your swaddling clothes of lies

Then eat me alive

With your manipulative mind

I was too weak

Too blind

To see

But trust and believe

You will never get this close

To me

Again

I’ma just pretend

Your existence was only a myth

Kicked off the cliff

Into the abyss

Where the demons go

And nothing in this life could ever grow

Deep like Sia

Her words ring like freedom

To my ears.

You exist no more

Your time is up

I’m back, and better than before

I wrote some new rules for sure

And let me tell you your score:

Zero

Nothing

O in ten

And it’s a shame

To think you have this game on lock

Think again.

- Leonora E. Cardenas
