(UN)FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR

If you could be me maybe you'd forgive me
But you can't feel it so you villainize me
To your boy and to your friends,
To your fam you must make amends.
You can't face yourself in the mirror
So you welcome denial ever nearer
To a lie told to and through yourself
As you put my memory on the shelf.
But I'm still here and will remain,
Erasure attempts all made in vain.
You see the beast that haunts your dreams,
The mastermind with the dirty schemes.
But all I see is a human being,
Ever living, ever loving, ever seeing.
