My hands are behind my back and over my head
I have no gun. I have dropped my sword
Do with me what you will. Accuse me. Condemn me. Throw me aside forever.
Nobody will care. Nobody ever has.
I have tried to reason with. I have tried to contend with. I have used my pen as a sword, and I have even used my tongue as such, in lieu of friends or allies to commiserate with. My lack of ability to forgive is exposed. I have made myself a target for attempting to gain sympathy, for not settling into condemnation, for hoping to be accepted and loved.
I wish I were dead. I wish I were never born. Someone, maybe many, have been blessed by my hands and speech. I am cursed.
