Don't you know her blood runs through you
like ice water?
Couldn't you feel her chilled effects
all these years?
She's molded you into a miniature
version of herself.
She's a 'lyin'-ess
and you her cub.
She nursed you on her acidic milk.
She taught you how to hunt,
how to 'lie' in wait,
how to go in for the kill
with bloodthirsty vengence.
Oh yes, children DO learn what they live,
then live what they learned.
And you live a lie,
for that's what you learned.
All for what means do you hunt and hurt?
For the attention?
The only attention you have gained,
is that of pity.
Pity you for falling into her steps.
Her nowhere footprints
have led you directly into her den
and now, you must walk it alone.
Its a road to hell and never back.
For you can't return from where
you now 'lie.'
You have become her.
And just as it has been with her,
it shall now be with you...
I shall never again take one word
from you as 'truth.'
You, as did she,
have destroyed any belief I had
that there could be good within'
those such as you and she.
See...'lyin'-ess' don't realize
that those of us who now know better,
(those of us who have felt the claws)
can see deeply into lying eyes,
can hear volumes in untrue voices.
Oh yes, its apparant there...
in glassy, shallow depths,
its easy to see below your surfaces.
In phony-toned sweetness,
that's sickening to one's ears,
its heard loud and clear
in your false utterances.
Poor, once-sweet child.
You have become her.
Her poison passed into your genes
and runs rampant over your lips.
And now you do as she does,
all in the name of attention-
and to hell with those you hurt
in the process!!!
To hell with the lives you destroy
with wicked words!!!
I feared this,
for you and the other cubs,
who are follwing same said path as well.
Long ago, I knew this would come to pass
and saw the signs of her offspring
becoming her carbon copies.
Don't forget...I knew her 'when.'
Before you, before them.
Her lies have hurt and destroyed!
(It would seem she's taught you well, little cub.)
Her scalding tongue
spit my way more than once!
I've felt the sting of her venom!
But I have the antidote-
TRUTH serum runs through my veins
and wards off her attacks for years now.
I am immune to those like you and she.
The adrenelin anger flows in me
and negates all falsehoods!
She's vicious and inhuman,
heartless and cruel
and now...
her legacy,
'lies' in you!!!
YOU have become HER!
wow. I really felt this piece. I know where you're coming from and the anger was evident in this poem. I loved it.
