Manifest Destiny
Was it not clear
That you hurt me
When you told me
No one loved me?
Was it not obvious
That you hurt me
When you told me
I couldn't?
Was it not evident
That you hurt me
When you told me
I was worthless?
Was it not plain to see
That I was dying inside
When you told me
To go and kill myself?
Was it not understandable
When I withdrawed myself
After you started
To hit and scar me?
Was it not rational
For me to then do the same
To myself, just a
Little deeper?
Was it not logical
That you should find my suicide letter
Next to my limp and lifeless body
After all you did?
Was my death not a
Manifest destiny?
