I’ve Been….Part 2
Heard it all
Butttttttttttt he,
already knew they wouldn’t help or dial 911 and call.
It was basically.
every other night
when I know my neighbors
heard my screams, my yells.
through them thin ass walls
I’ve been fooled.
I’ve been charmed.
I’ve been lied to
I’ve been harmed.
I’ve been spoiled.
I’ve been wined, dined, and
destroyed,
All at the same time,
Annoyed, for me
it was the norm.
The quiet, before the storm
I’ve been loved.
confused
happy
even delusional
Being mad
was the usual
