Happy For You

Happy For You

A Poem by SilentScreamingTears
"

You know that feeling when you won't be giving a promotion, again, because you're too good at what you do? Yeah.

"
Prize me
Love me
Give me rewards
Show me
How much you need me
How you adore

Put me up on a pedestal
Let me be seen by all
Given gifts and praises, admiration
You don't want to risk my rage
Then you put someone else above me; I'm tired of keeping this face

Happy for you
Celebrating
Have a feast now
And Famine without me

Your Oracles have seen the truth
A future of prosperity
Where you don't have to worship me
Which I never asked of you

Human naive fell to greed
Thought it wise to wise to rid of me
Gleaming eyes that paid no heed
To the disaster coming on
Which I could've saved you from

Happy for you
Celebrating
Have a feast now
And Famine without me

All I asked was 'be a friend'
You idolized then disrespected
So I take my Exodus
And I leave you with this

You think you've won a victory
Giving in to greed
Your loss will come as swiftly
As you wiped my pedestal clean
