43 - Fear no Devil

You spit in my face

about how you don't trust me 

but you consistently 

scream through your memes

about all the ways I could be. 

I'm sorry that my potential 

is currently still nothing but rubble 

which upsets all who come near. 

How I want to tear through the attic

of an abandoned house

and kick all the spirits away-

Because demons don't scare me

unless they're the demons that pervade

inside my own cavities. 

I fear no devil

or malicious spirit,

for as pretty as historic houses come 

I'm not amused with the sight

of a high rent or

a neighborhood which,

despite the pretty pictures

one could reproduce 

from such a sight,

is ultimately a money-sucking humdrum.
