CRUELTY


Sadistic
And I was not ready to understand
Ready to understand
The nightmarish violence of this stand


Sadistic
Like these souls were made of bricks
And I was not ready to understand
Not ready to understand
What was projected was so piercing and grand

Sadistic
I was not made of plastic
This contempt and lack of love hurt like an ice pick

Why is everyone laughing at me?
I am so shy

My mother said
Maybe their horns will recede one day
And wings will grow
On some of them

Sadistic
And I was not made of plastic
This contempt and lack of love hurt like an ice pick

And they were many
Many dull little dolls
Using their cruelty to mock me and my profound sensitivity
Many dull little dolls
All coming from the angry girly factory
