Now It Applies To You

"I told you so" turned into a morose song/poem

By CT IdlehousePublished 12 months ago 1 min read

I'm so tired...

Of putting out the same damn fire...

Just to see another match light the pyre.

/

I'm so exhausted...

From screaming against the hatred...

Just to drown under more of their heartlessness.

/

I've told you so many times...

But you've ignored me.

But now the sky is falling on you, too.

I've warned you so many times...

But you won't believe me.

How does it feel now it applies to you?

/

I'm so jaded...

I don't think that I will make it...

I mean nothing to those who want me eliminated.

/

I'm so frustrated...

All this work I've done is wasted...

Just to have it all erased by a tyrant.

/

I've told you so many times...

But you've ignored me.

But now the sky is falling on you, too.

I've warned you so many times...

But you won't believe me.

How does it feel now it applies to you?

/

When they come for you...

Don't you dare blame me.

I've been telling you all this time...

You should have listened to me.

    You're not alone! *Big time feels* Hold tight! A new world is coming and won't be any resemblance to this. Hold tight.

    Think I've heard this one before...and that I'm going to hear it again.
