If the shoe fits

Once upon a time a world existed

with people I could trust.

To those that have scorned me,

you can stop and eat my dust.

You take your lies and misconstrued

words - chuck them to the birds.

Leave yourself trails; you’ll never get back.

My concerns for you now lack.

I couldn't care less how you live your life,

so leave me alone to live mine.

Maybe one day, you will value yourself

and stop living like a swine.

Do my words offend you?

Do you feel the unsettling rest?

The troubles bestowed upon you

are likely deserving at best.

Bad karma has surrounded you

and soon it will circle back around. Then you will see what used to be

and long again to be found.

Too little too late will be my reply

when you finally long to be heard.

Until then, you can suck a duck

that’s sitting in a truck.

And you can pray real hard for him

to bring you some much needed luck.
