Misery Martyr

Misery sure loves company

but I will be declining the invitation.

My joy is not something to be hijacked

by envious folks reliant on intimidation.

Those who wallow in self-pity like pigs in slop,

content in the agony of their self made situation.

Acting like the most haunted martyrs

when they are models of aberration.

Those who try to honestly embrace them

are made monsters in their imagination.

I will continue to give my love to those deserving,

but I will handle it with caution.

There are those set on destroying joy,

because hatred and jealousy are their reliable option.
