BEWARE THE TRAITOR!

BEWARE THE TRAITOR!

By Ross E F Lombardi

.

Loneliness and frustration lie to you.

That young girl looking at you?

Is NOT really looking at you, that way.

Has Never looked at you, that way!

.

Beware the traitor that is your own primaeval nature.

It is the outdated squishy brain software,

Of a beast that no longer needs to exist.

.

Loneliness and frustration warp the mind.

That sexy thing flirting with you?

Is Never really flirting with you.

Has never really flirted with you!

.

Be no one’s bad flashback.

Be no one’s fear.

Be no father’s nightmare.

Nor any mother’s worry.

.

Loneliness and frustration are like ego-driven dry rot.

Slowly trying to always creep its strands through your perceptions of reality.

Those hints are NOT really hints?

They were never really hints.

It is all in your head!

.

It is better to die alone

Then ever be some poor person’s, waking nightmare.

And their suffering sickening memory.

Then ever be THAT! – Mere THING!

.

Loneliness and Frustration offer fake, false hope,

A shadow psycho-sexual shadow play.

A delusional high based on mere ancient toxic brain chemicals,

From the wasted junkie hormone dealer of the filthy ally ways of your hind mind!

.

Buckle down and stay strong!

Stay defended!

Do not give the traitor within you, space to breathe…

.

Loneliness is a TRAITOR!

Frustration is a TRAITOR!

YOU ARE YOUR OWN TRAITOR!

.

Keeping yourself elevated.

Keeping yourself watchful.

Is worth far more than any amount of personal happiness,

In the entire world!

.

And if you are VERY lucky,

VERY LUCKY!

When you pass from this world

It will not be as an evil person!

    I'm definitely not lucky because I have a special place in hell reserved for me. Lol
