THICK SKIN
Thick skin.
Starting to sag.
Young once.
Starting to sag.
Your hearing abandoning you as you scream.
Do you even hear yourself anymore?
Your sight distorting the image of me.
What do you see?
Your own pride eating away at your mind.
You say you're the sword of God.
but you're dull as fuck.
Your hypocrisy is exhausting
You say you deserve respect.
Where's mine.
Respect is earned.
You say love is portrayed through actions.
That I'm not loving you enough
How your insecurities are now my burden to carry
Take responsibility on how you fucked my childhood to hell
You say because I have a cunt that I should bow to men like you
Men like you
Young once
But all skin starts to sag
All bodies start to rot
Like the image of you in my mind
Once a hero
Now a villain
Once a hug
Now a wound
