I'll Allow It
Teach the people around you how you want to be treated.
Take what you want, use me up, give me nothing back - I'll allow it.
Fight me for nothing, as chaos descends depleting my sanity - I'll allow it.
Destroy my confidence and smother the spark in my pride - I'll allow it.
Lost within this world of lies,
I will give you what you want without compromise.
I will choose to give you all I have and release my worldly pleasures;
Only to replace them with broken relics and counterfeit treasures.
In truth, no-one can betray me better than myself,
But I'll allow it because I value the illusion of your love over my own health.
I allow it - and so it shall be,
I will choose you long before I choose me.

About the Creator
Jollyoddbod Poetry
Here I am, and here I'll stay;
Like the moon in the darkness that refuses to fade.
Clouds will cover, but cannot take from my reign;
Mark this as the moment that they realise, as they scoff with distain.
They fell asleep, I cannot be blamed.
