Someone said to me
not a friend
and never will be
“It’s fun
to look down on people
feels so good
to keep them down
to keep you up”
I said
or would have
if I stayed to answer
“You poor damned soul
with unmet needs
an ego
puffed and fragile
pretending not to know
your own
inadequate self
you empty shell
trying to fill
don’t realize
you show us
who and what you are”
or something such
but words don’t penetrate
not even truth
your hard and hollow head
