Sad for You
and Pity
The feeling of dread
I felt in my gut
Was overwhelmingly predictable
I knew you were enraged again
And I prepared myself
For the onslaught of verbal
And physical intimidation
That I knew would result,
As it always does,
In me swallowing my reality
And self-worth
And begging you for forgiveness.
It is the only way to appease
The violent beast in you
I have to relinquish my truth and identify
And what I know is real
So you can maintain your power over me
My love for you is dying
While my pity for you escalates.
I am sad for you.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
