Hide Those Crocodile Tears
I may be the black sheep
bleeding out a slow death,
the vile menace you fear.

What I'm not, is an ordinary
person incapable of empathy
or repaying my dues without interest.

I don't enjoy the cryptic looks
or expressions that doubt my sincerity.
I cast aside my rights with actions deplorable.

Now, your bullish behavior will never break me.
For you're anger is an impotent weed
next to my self-loathing hatred of myself.

Please move kindly along,
for others wait their turn to berate
this person you fear and despise.
