There were never any expectations,
only endless possibilities.
You cornered yourself
in a little box you made;
so much for all that potential.
Now, you want to get out
of the circumstance
that you thought was so safe.
You want to stretch your legs a bit,
regret is always a perfect fit.
It suits you,
like a suit you
had made just for you.
The world didn’t exclude,
You did that on your own.
Now your truth
has left you
and your patience
fails you.
Go to Hell,
you did this to yourself.
You failed you,
didn’t you?
You had every advantage,
never wanted for a thing.
I sat in the dark in silence,
listening to everything.
I heard every whispered promise.
I heard every tearful prayer.
When I had to deal in violence,
I couldn’t find you anywhere.
You were in your tiny castle,
looking down upon the world,
judging and signaling virtue;
I remember every word.
Isn’t it funny, how
we all fall down
from tiny heights?
Our tiny crowns
never fit like they’re supposed to,
falling down over our eyes;
so smart and so beautiful,
except when we’re crying.
This is just
my point of view.
You do you.
I think you’d do
anyone
to get you out
of this terrible thing
that you’re in now.
Maybe now
you’ll see
you can’t be
everything to everyone.
You just have to be you
to you,
no overcompensation.
No amount
of consolation
is going to get through.
This was fun.
Productive visit.
Is it
time for me to go?
I Couldn’t stay another minute,
I want to get back
out in the cold.
I hope you enjoy
the tiny world
you have made
and I think
it’ll make a very nice coffin.
It doesn’t take much space.
So good to see you.
I hope to see you
out in the cold again.
