Life of Worms
you never say what you did
you never do
you never say
what you have done
you are never to blame
for the hurt –
that you caused
apparently,
you never cause harm
when you do,
it’s never –
meant to insult people
even though –
you clearly have
although you are mad
you make up
what is sadly missing
you are –
a self proclaimed expert
on subjects –
you know nothing about
you never say what you did
these twist and turns
all this darkness
the life of worms
