Trimming The Fat
By: Tyler Ross
You’re too important
but I don’t care to know
what your excuses are
because you already showed
your lack of respect
for my time.
So I’ll take that sign
And, boy I’ll let it shine.
Let it shine, oh, let it shine.
I won’t pine my mind,
or get lost in your kind.
I won’t teach you a lesson
because that aggression
only creates an obsession
where I’m giving too much of me
and you’re too blind to see, no question.
The energy you stole
you can keep, it’s fine.
I can read between your lines.
But know I won’t be coming back.
There’s a word already for that.
A doormat.
Rubbed off, left behind discarded like trash.
I know better than that.
It’s real hard to think about anyone else
when you’re too caught up in yourself.
It sucks, but what I know is beyond wealth,
and will help me now take better care of myself.
