Ever Hear Yourself Walk Away from Your Body? — Jaded

Body?
Ever hear yourself
walk away from your body?
Yeah—
that’s the first sign
of pitching a pity party.
It begins
with a howl to your own pack,
begging them
to assess the emotional damages
they inflicted.
The scar?
It hijacks your process
every time you try
to be socially acceptable
during the simplest of occurrences.
PTSD?
It’s forever a claimant.
And the claimant?
Always makes a scene.

Ever hear yourself
walk away again—
as I crawl
into your morning-routine thoughts?
Your evil spell
was no match for my intelligence.
See me now—
Rare is my new favorite character.
To be different,
to be talked about,
to be hated.
I savor it.
Ever heard of reverse psychology?
