Is Bullseye

Tell me.....

Why does my peace startle your demons

why must they battle with my calm

Clamor around like sawed off shotguns

collecting undo debts, with greasy palms

Why do you still meddle in my business

you made your bed with someone new

Scrounge in the sheets for your forgiveness

just keep your monsters home with you

I've no ill will, you find your happy

please in return, just give me mine

Not to sound bitter or come off crappy

I'm done granting you my time

Go have a sit down with your Dr.

gleen what you can in therapy

I know what to do with part time stalkers

FAFO if you want to see

    Through writing you can free yourself from thinking about these things and just enjoy the solitude.

    Misery loves company, I guess. So if your calm you provoke the miserable, maybe? Well written! And always stay happy and keep provoking those miserables!
