Day: Mar 5, 2022

They said I was the devil when I showed them my good side,

They spread the rumors like cheap pills, spread them far and wide.

Those who once knew me did not bite down right away,

But the bitterness got to them like smoke from an ashtray.

They even called it my funeral when I tried fixing the record,

They swore they were playing chess when I was playing checkers.

Little did they all know, you cannot re-bury the long gone.

You cannot fix the tune in post if you got all the chords wrong.

So, they said I was a lost cause until I became their peril,

And they learned that there are things far scarier than the devil.

Those who never knew me only spoke my name as a whisper,

And all those who were buried with me became my sisters.
