No tears


You insult and put me down. You threaten to take my life. I say take it. I say put your money where your mouth is. Your words may hurt me but you’ll never see a tear drop. Your anger feeds my flame. You’ll never get what you want. Your words may hurt me but I’ll never give you the satisfaction of seeing a tear drop. Your words make me pity you. You sad pathetic child What an excuse for a human being. You want to send me back? Please do! I never asked you to bring me here! Are you feeling the burden of this life? Oh I’m sorry…oh wait I lied. You say you want to send my life. Go ahead. It would be a blessing for me. You want riches? Didn’t you know what may be shiny on the outside might be dull on the inside? The best gift I can give you…is to let you live. I swear the worst punishment for a criminal is LIFE. That criminal will find a way to end their own life and you won’t have their blood on your hand. Does it hurt you to see me laugh care free? I can laugh till the day I dies! No tears...none.
