Taken for Granted

Shame wrapped in secrecy
Taken for granted –
Can you see those words
On your forehead
In the reflection of my eyes?
All I wanted
Was another satellite
To feel like a supergiant
When I am only Pluto
Tiptoed a line
That line we once tripped over
And then never looked back
Avarice in love,
Lust for admiration
All on my resume
For Hell
Don’t forget about pride,
A thing so deficient
I tried to do the world a favor
Years and years over
Now to overcompensate
Caught up in human allowance
I somehow think I’ve earned
But I was right in the first place
To think I never even deserved you
If you give a mouse a cookie...

This has quite a familiar ring to it. As humans we are
so eager to take what is offered-- but sometimes the
bait does come with a price attached to it. This was
so well written, filled with exceptional metaphors and
perfectly put thoughts.

| Great imagery as you take us on a very honest appraisal of looking back at the way we treat people,and our failings such as pride,the guilt we feel,and the uncomfortable reality of how as human beings we can emotionally consume with no thought until hindsight jabs at our conscience |
