You didn’t need your body anymore
To continue the damage that you
Initiated, you made sure that you’d
Survive, that they would keep impersonating
Your toxicity, your life’s work, that would
Give you peace, that you’d linger, that you’d
Still be impactful, through generations, shameless,
Guiltless, held in high praises, the dead would never know
Blame, you relied on that, I remember you even though we
Never met, your arms still reach out, so far, I feel
Them on my skin, I won’t be your wishing well,
You had a life and you used it to destroy and make it
Last for as long as possible, I’m done with courteousness,
You’d never return the favour, you never deserved it,
These prayers bowing to you on a pedestal, no, I reject
Your footprints, you’ve made your point, your poison
Had a long run and it ended here, with my eyes wide open.
