VOODOO STEW

you can act like
i was wreaking
havoc on you
cuz you know thats
believable
im going to go
live on the edge
of society
in a cob house
and eat stews
my own recipe
the town people will say
they are voodoo
and only when
new people
come into town
will i be viewed
with fresh eyes
and someone will take time
to see my worth
it will be
a rebirth
a resurgence of energy
that wasn't negative
to begin with
a million apologies
for the actions
of our former selves
someone will cradle us
someone will forgive
not sure
you ever lived it
the story passed down
till you get it
till you're in it
not sure that it
ever happened
you make plans around
a fake past
and real wounds
that dont match
so folks assume
you've had too much
voodoo stew.
