I don't wanna admit
that I might be passive-aggressive
'cause such a diagnosis
has never meant supportiveness,
since, clearly, I'd need it.
It meant a term
often used be people who
want nothing more than to
accuse and gaslight
a poor man who's just
struggling to articulate his birthright-
His god-given right
to say that he's just upset.
That he's uncomfortable-
And what do you do?
Blow it off
until it stews
under the surface,
and when it comes out --
as it inevitably would,
as though you really thought it wouldn't --
you fill'em up with guilt
so that way
you'll never be touched with it.
That feeling that he feels
where he's not allowed to feel
too uncomfortable here.
Great, I hope you're happy.
