character assassination

26 8 8
                                    

From behind

I was attacked

Words wielded like an ax

Hacking and slashing at my character as if I were some cartoon

The signs there on the wall

Please do be careful y'all

A friend in my face

A foe that I didn't know

Having seen the handiworvk before the handwriting was on the wall

I just needed to take a pause

Cause I had seen it happen to others

Now it just was my turn to get burned

Long had I known that only someone near or dear could hurt me

This time I will not run because I deserve to bask in the sun
