Egg Shells

Egg Shells

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey

I was trying to 
Keep my celibacy
In tact, 
in fact 
Despite your fingers
Running up and
Down my back
I cease to react
But you saw the cracks
You had no right to love me
My shell may appeared
To be hard
But it was a facade
A farce
Inside the embryo 
Was and is still soft
Childhood lost and taken
Forsaken by the 
Same lie 
Love
The same blanket
God is part of?

You had no right
To chef up my
Souls order
Scrambling my
Insecurities
Serving my vulnerabilities
Up to the slaughter
You lied when you
Said that your
Yolk was easy
But your burdens were
Light 
Yeah right

I told you I was 
Over easy
But your blatant 
Disregard
Is making it so hard
See
I could have been saved
Possibly 
if you had served
Me over hard
Yet your deception
Took me from the fryer 
To the frying pan
With your hands
You scrambled my
Self worth like eggs
Served with side of
Contempt 
Masking the bullshit
With sprinkles 
Of Splenda
But that ain't real
Sugar
Fake like your
Lies 
As you try to
Justify them
As I am served
On the platter
Again
Why does this
Keep happening?
Maybe this the
Pain that I deserve?

Those Egg shells sound like a b***h...we all get hurt unintentionally in the game of life, boiled, fried, dyed. We don't come away raw. I do think though, that every person walks into our lives for a reason. Pits not about self worth or deserving pain. It's about living and finding a good fit that doesn't rub too much
