It's True I'm Afraid!

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

even with the kindest motives

and the best intentions

someone somewhere sometime

will

let you down

because people are cunts

even with the purest hearts

and the sorriest of stories and eyes

they will rush

to flail you

to fail you

to rail you

to nail you

in front of all that you hold dear

because people are cunts

even the crudest form

of the simple of gestures

will be misconstrued

and turned against you

because people are cunts

the biggest hearts

marred by a thousand scars

that never really heal

that never heal for real

because people are cunts

the noblest intentions to this day

are paving the road to hell

the devil laughs

he knows the way well

because people are cunts
