My Suffering Brings You Fame

you have an audience
my suffering
brings you
fame

i would have never thought
the pain you caused
the scars you left
unhealed
unsewn
and bleeding,
gets you an audience

they love the words
i write about you
and us?
and us..

no matter what you do
and what you leave behind
someone will always admire
the mistakes you’ve made
because who can’t relate
to something so painful anyway?

it is all we know
and all you have taught me
and all they have taught them
it’s all we ever learn.
