Useless critic, did you try to improve me?
The words you cast on me
meant fucking nothing.
The limited construct that you orbit and praise
will shatter
in the presence
of free thought,
you ignorant fuck.
You should be forced to ingest the
waste you produce
(and absorb)
the toxins that
you put into the air.
(I inhaled)
and felt myself begin to lose faith,
until I discovered your true name,
Succubus!
Virgo and Aires.
Our frequencies
in tandem cease to be.
Trying to sound wiser than you ever were,
you blessed the naysayers in my head.
Scales tipped in their favor
and threatened my creations,
because I gave your words weight.
Hanging above the great abyss,
clinging to what you know.
I don't think you'll ever fall,
the difference between you and me.
Can I forgive you for the ideas
you tried to destroy?
Soon you'll that you know nothing
just like everyone else.
Can I forgive you
For the ideas you
tried to destroy?
Here, they manifest!
Soon you'll learn
you know nothing
just like
everyone else.
