Less Painful than Kicking Garbage Cans

look, you and I both know the truth

how you treated me was entirely uncouth

the, daily, way you showed Tshaw and Pam

they’re the only ones for whom you gave a damn

giving them continual preferential treatment

while showing the entire class that I meant

about as much to you as a brutal anal tare

like I was some pain in your ass, which was so unfair

I mean, what did I ever do to you Andrea?

I was always nice and honest any time I dealt with ya

I may not stoop to kissing your ass, but hey

it’s nothing personal; it’s never been my way

seriously, I tried to explain everything in that email

told you many things I’ve learned so you wouldn’t fail

not that I know everything there is to know

but I have a lot to offer to those who want to grow

your disdain for me started on that very first day

it started out subtle, but you went too far Friday

you know exactly what you did; Angie does as well

but, you’ll both still be important when you get to hell

you shouldn’t take this poem as a compliment

this was done for my sanity; it’s the safest way I can vent

The Truth Shall Set Me Free while Karmic Justice Imprisons You

I awoke, suddenly, early this morning

asleep long enough for another warning

another prophetic dream was transmitted

prepared me for a day I’d rather be omitted

showing me in detail that I was the target

of a group of women at work who I’d just met

they joined together trying to get me fired

how can people be so hatefully wired?

I’d understand if I tried to hurt them intentionally

but they were going out of their way literally

fabricating and taking truth out of context

before I started work I knew what was coming next

if any of them actually knew who I was “for real”

things I’m able to do directing emotions I feel

they may not be so obsessed with bringing harm

to this innately gifted woman known to charm,

summon and communicate with Universal Forces

mastering every gift given her without any courses

you see, lately, it’s not even up to me what happens

to anyone intentionally hurting me it just depends

since the decision comes from the Infinitely Divine

but one thing I’ve noticed is that it’s perfectly timed

personally, I like that I don’t have to do a damn thing

to bring about the Karmic justice; I just see the sting

but, if I’m being totally honest about how I really feel

I’d make sure each one of them knew the whole deal

I mean, when they were handed their just dessert

they’d know from whence it came and who they’d hurt

not for reasons of ego, vanity or anything unhealthy

it’s, just, the only way to ensure that the opportunity

for their ability to learn concepts of universal laws

science and Spirit conjoined as Divine Truth because

both Physics and Karma factually state that every action

creates an equal or greater reaction; brings me satisfaction

I may have left work in lots of emotional and physical pain

but if things continue as normal I will likely have to refrain

from celebrating justice being served once the circle

of what goes and comes around lights my crown purple

to be perfectly clear, I take no joy from another’s pain

I, do, find joy with the progress of another human being

Feed Your Brain with both Hands

let’s feed your brain with both hands

don’t snap your wrist with rubber bands

because I’m unable to comprehend

I just can’t seem to understand

why so many people hate upon me

it really is, just, so fucking crazy

considering they don’t even know me

hatred’s all I ever get given freely

don’t they know how lucky they’d be

to spend quality time in my company?

despite the hard exterior they see

I’m full of kindness and generosity

quit projecting your own shit on me

look deep within yourself honestly

if you’re successful you’ll finally see

everything that made you all hate me

was owned by each of you entirely

now that you’re able to see things clearly

I invite you to pull up a chair beside me

I don’t expect to be liked by everybody

but as long as we converse honestly

I’ve no doubt that most of you will see

I was never unkind nor out to make enemies

all I have is love for you and I give it freely
