Indifference

keen blade poised

bosom heaving

cut the bastard out!

keen blade poised

children screaming 

cut the bastard out!

keen blade poised

nightmare living

cut the bastard out!

keen blade poised

hand is shaking

cut the bastard out!

poison is as poison does

livid in my veins

he’s pulled me into living hell

indifference I must claim

INDIFFERENCE please!

bosom heaving

(put the knife away)

INDIFFERENCE please!

children screaming

(put the knife away)

INDIFFERENCE please!

nightmare living

(put the knife away)

INDIFFERENCE please!

hand is shaking

(put the knife away)

no more toxin

no more hate

no more love

I’ll make my fate!

strong and poised

breath is steady

I will walk away
