Controversy

Trigger warning

Why ask…

when you know 

the words I have to say

only shock, confuse

and bring you such dismay?

~~~

Disrespect?

What is it to have lived it?

How am I supposed to "contain" it? 

Why should evil be forced

to reside alone inside my mind?

~~~

Frightening, and desolate

yet not really up for debate

The truth isn't some offense

This is MY life

so sorry to have ruined your day
