Weaponized Incompetence

Poem

By CadmaPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I don’t know how to do anything

But hurt you intentionally

I didn’t know you were hurting,

With your over sensitivity

I don’t know how to help around

This task is not meant for me

I don’t know how to listen,

But you need to listen to me

I don’t know why you’re mad again,

I know you’re being selfish

I don’t know why you blame me,

You don’t let go of this

I know your pain grows every day,

But this is how I am & will stay

I know how to be considerate

When it comes to others but you

I weaponize my incompetence

To make a liar out of you

I know how to do everything else

But what you ask or need

I don’t know how to do anything

Unless it is for me

I know you love me deeply

So you’ll put up with me

love poems
