Pretty speech
Empty actions
I stay away
From deserted performances
Spare tires without air
When you need help
Or just conversation
Exception
We all have caused exceptions
+
When I point my fingers
There is always one aimed at me
Angry outbursts revealed
After thought I see how I’ve done the same
Different crayon
Different colors
Same picture
A tad bit different from the others
Do you change your walk or strut
In your exceptions
Exceptions
*
Improve
Or shrug opportunities to change
Repent
Or hiss at the rules
Lawless until you’re totally broken
Ears closed until mercy won’t speak, doors unopened
I’ll take someone who tries
Over a scoffer with no remorse, arrogance home to a guaranteed demise
Sometimes it’s after the last curtain goodbye.
