Sleezy!
Poem based on on-call comments I received from a 'friend'.
Sorry for breaking down on Christmas
I was only embracing my divine right
To express myself when the sun slept
Now I must seek consent to breathe
In a world where cheaters thrive
I get it: nobody cares about my depression
Every syllable is considered oversharing.
You don't need to mansplain everything.
You're a nobody & not the whole world
I never lost friends, I lost abusers, but
You're more concerned about my sex life
Than my own well-being and thoughts.
You're no different to other abusers.
Now bugger off back to your drama king throne!
