Finally, Farewell

What happens when the creativity doesn’t flow
When words fail you
You hurt those around you?

I sit back and smile
Your immature acts make me smirk
I get a stomachache from laughing at your deceitful words
I pity you

Good luck
in this moment
Karma always comes
Hunting you down
in this lifetime
You can’t treat people like this
I won’t be the only one

I will apologize
I did some wrong
My creativity was nonexistent
Things got out of hand
I’m sorry

But my words were pure
Coming only from my heart
I never lied
You know that

Farewell, poison
I don’t need you
Not any more
Clearly you don’t need me
