Tired of holding contempt
For all of this incompetence
This must end
Don’t want to be a bitter man
So I must bite my tongue
Give way to noble silence
I’ll never make you see the light
This child doesn’t need validation
Attempting to influence
Is futile anyway
Nothing I do or say
Could ever make me superior
It’s just how I keep myself safe
I wish you the best
I hope that something will open your eyes
To the damage you inflict
By ignoring the pain inside
And pretending that you’re just fine
I want you to suffer
Punishment for your
Transgressions but I know
That won’t serve anything
I choose to be vital
Destructive criticism
Is malignant so I
Choose to love you
Where you’re at and
Maybe someday
You will feel embraced beyond the
Mending of your past
I wish you the best
I hope that something will open your eyes
To the damage you inflict
By ignoring the pain inside
And pretending that you’re just fine
I wish you the best
May you find some introspection and
May you find the mending
You desperately need
To be free
