take it back
to a time
when we were young,
it was easier
to let our guards down,
had each other’s backs,
never scared to trust,
‘cause who thinks
the one you call “bro”
will one day grow
to screw you over?
you don’t notice
anything shady
but one day,
they flip
like a coin,
and suddenly,
all they can do
is hurt.
thought you were fake
when i helped you
in your darkest days,
paid for things
no one should need
at that age,
then you cut ties
with no rhyme
or reason why,
tried to slither back
a couple years too late,
no explanation,
still i gave it
a second chance,
but i saw the toxicity,
the hatred grew
in your soul,
you take it out
on whoever’s close.
cheated on years ago,
so now you hate women,
she got pregnant,
it brought out
the worst in you,
turned yourself over
to the side of hate,
abortion tirades,
you just wanna
control their bodies,
you’d rather she die
while carrying
than kill the fetus,
say you’re pro-life,
but talk online
about a strap,
‘cause it’s all life
‘less a gun’s involved,
shit is sad.
and this ain’t a diss
it’s a learning experience,
raised with your own brain,
so you use it to hate,
you won’t listen,
you’re bound to be
stuck in your ways,
‘cause the world
screwed you over,
got you feeling betrayed,
but i’m not here
to wish you ill,
because i fear
you feel
a lot of pain,
the same as many
screwed by life
at a young age,
acting out in rage
to give the world
a taste of its own medicine.
i hope you escape
that place,
i hope you learn
to listen,
i wish you the best,
i hope life
treats you better,
i hope you learn
tolerance,
grow from the trauma
and find health
in your relationships,
try to wear
another’s pair
of shoes,
think outside
your mind
and consider
someone other
than yourself
for once.
