the opposite is true

poetry

maybe i’m not doing the world a kindness by keeping my mouth shut
i got too offended at it
but now i am not hurting, and you are
that’s just the way i wanted but it’s a sad way
i’ve yet to fully repent
i don’t know if i ever will
this is tantamount to my smallness
maybe even a malnourished young boy
should pay penance for not making himself big
it seems
when bad things happen, they pile and pile
another reason why karma is for idiots
the opposite is true
