Secret Statement

Jul 24, 2017 · 1 min read

“This blue sky is pink.
These pink flowers, blue.
Despite what you think,
I say this is true.

Debate if you like.
It’s what I enjoy.
I live for the strike.
Words are my toy.

No matter the subject,
its weight or its scope,
I find a way to object.
I do this to cope.

My strength comes from denial.
My desire’s to wear you down.
Trivializing you is survival.
It’s how my ego stays above ground.

Where else have I power,
but this tiny space I rule?
This narrow place in my tower
where I wield a narrow tool.

I won’t admit weakness again.
If you refer to this, I’ll deny.
I’ll bury you in rebuttals then.
More than anything, I hope you try.

So, don’t assume I’m conceding
because I was honest this time.
Safety in numbers proceeding,
I’ll troll on just fine.”
