Walk of shame
Anger with it’s child barefoot,gliding,sliding, crawling, trotting
Finally running at full pelt and cursing, trying to get to me
Through broken walls and crumbled hopes
Anger so much, seething with rage, because she’s embarrassed
For I look on with an air of calmness
Though a little frail, I won’t back down
I know she feeds her son
Whose name she delicately calls with a slur; ‘EGO’
But I won’t back down
Though a little frail, l’ll rise from the dust
I won’t fall into the abyss she’s dug
I’ll rise to my feet and look her in the eye,
With a hysteric laughter over her defeat
And oh! the terror that will grip her soul
And shatter her beloved son into a million pieces
When I pull off the mask of a victim and show off my face
The face of unfazed sublime elegance
And undying love in the face of hatred
Exquisite hope in the face of despair
I’ll square my shoulders
While she takes her so ever profound walk of shame!
