Just Breath! Epstein’s Sitting By Me...

I find myself in this odd situation

Sitting close with disgust comes a revelation

In my head are these thoughts I don’t want to see

About the dillys for dollars that HE helped be

The flight feels more stagnant than ever before

As I wait for the moment he’s met out that door

I just hold my breath, I can’t take it no more!

Just Breathe!... Epstein’s sitting by me.

::takes deep breathe::

Smugly he sits there thinking all is ok

Too bad for him, he is going away

I take solace in knowing his future plight

While I try not to move for the rest of the flight

The tension is palpable air is not flowing

I need to get off, is this plane even going

I don’t want to know all these things that I’m knowing!

Just Breathe!... Epstein’s sitting by me.

::takes deep breathe::

Landing gear is out and we catch eyes

Without speaking a word, I can FEEL his lies

They ooze through his gaze, his posture, the air

I can feel myself tremble though he’s unaware

I won’t smile, I won’t nod, I won’t smirk, that’s my goal

Departing this flight within my control

Knowing this demon who lives without soul

Will soon be in hell for playing his role.

Just Breathe!... Epstein’s sitting by me.

::takes deep breath::
