crazy cat lady

In a roundabout way

I traded my married life

For the title crazy cat lady

The traditional role

Was sold as happiness

But didn't give me security 

So understand,  I don't regret 

Giving up my faithless husband

As marraige was no guarantee

I am more myself

Thriving as a spinster

Because I didn't give up on me.

only the old and sick die

A global pandemic comes

And the takeaway is eugenics

Long as the masses can survive

It's okay for the old and sick to die

The public prefers simple comfort

Don't want to hear downer statistics

Don't want a mask or a vaccine

Sure, you might get long covid

You might kill your family or friends

But a party is worth the gamble

Mass spreader events are more fun.

external judgement

Carrying around all that judgment

It has to be a weighty burden

So much to disapprove and disdain 

Must be a heavy arsenal to bear

I'm sorry the dagger in your eyes

Bounce off of my lack of caring

Hate leaking from your gaze

Will never be able to touch me

Because I'm not invested in you

The same as you're effected by me.
