Blind Ego
You left me to surely die
because you say you care
but you really have to cover your ass
buried in your rules somewhere
You left me to just scrap by
barely able to survive
while you read from an article
amongst your arsenal of archives
You sat on your pious throne
carved from your arrogant learned ego
and sentenced me to a dark death
just for a circus show
To show that you can read?
to show that you can talk?
but you’ll never understand the show
because you’ve never walked the walk
You’ve never had death claw at you
in the darkness of your mind
and rip your very soul apart
because your ego makes you blind
Blind to the terror in my eyes
blind to my tears and frantic pleas
blind to the dying breath I gasp on
just to prove that you can read
