Crashing down

It will all come crashing down

Years of waiting will finally pay off

All the torment and heartbreak,

I hope you're prepared

You won't see this coming

You'll be too absorbed in yourself, as always

Now I get to call the shots

When you finally get off your high horse,

And you once again rejoin the world

I'll tell them to aim for your head

Seeing as you don't have a heart.

"And you once again rejoin the world..." I really like this line. It's a little more abstract than the rest of the poem, but it speaks volumes. For me, it seems like the poet has watched this person live in an egotistical bubble for a very long time. But, I also sense a betrayal here? "Seeing as you don't have a heart," suggests a past transgression that left the poet wounded, and they're getting their revenge by turning the rest of the population against them. A lot said in such a short piece. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
