They never expect me to spit back the venom.
My disguise is so convincing they lose their heads.
When the push comes to shove, I quit pretending.
“It is your time to lie if you have made your bed.”
They parade me around the streets like some jewelry,
Then drop me in the sink and coat me in toothpaste.
My thoughts and feelings do not fit into the scenery,
And behind my back they call me a true waste.
But in my world payback is not a dull weapon,
You cannot fix wounds with some green and a smile.
In my world it does not matter who you threaten.
It only matters if you can swim in your own bile.
