now when i think back to my aunts wedding ceremony

how i was complaining about the cake that tasted like

it was soaked in alcohol

i realize why you were unwilling to reveal your disgust

you hide your disapproval behind smiles and passivity

you don't care but you put up a front like you do

you hide behind questions to see if anyone has failed yet

because if no one has accomplished success like you have

then its not good enough

there is no exception why perfection can't be achieved

in your mind you can't understand why everyone doesn't just

act like you

why should everyone be the same as you

hiding behing smiles and a nonchalante attitude

when in fact you don't care and you don't approve

while you think other people value your opinion

we realize your true self and move on with our lives

while you are left behind in your stagnant state

unwilling to progress because you refuse to realize that you have to

you are perfect and no one can tell you different

but we all know that in your heart lies a disease

that can only be cured by the mercy of god

and once god decides to let you stay that way

there will never be any help for you

you will die in your grave alone with your frozen heart and soul

and when you are questioned as to why you didn't make a change

you will say that you did not know

and there will be voice that screams no

and says that you knew but you refused to change

you had so many resources but you didn't help others

you are cold and heartless and far from humanand the world is better off without you
