Analysis of Envious Obsession

Jacob Taylor 1994 (Tampa, Florida)



Render me as a slave and I'll smack you upside the face.
Taste the blood leaking from the tongue you all should hold in silence
Mangle your own souls for damnation.
You don't need me to tell you your placement.
Why don't you ask the lying masks you all put on every morning to hide your blatant disgrace?
Fever of obsession will only get worse tearing and ripping at the heart you willingly lost.
Laugh and scoff at these words, it will be your only truth.
Tempting me to disregard the ones I love, will leave you heartless.
Forget trying to gain any kind of favor or companionship.
I never regard you as a friend.
Lose, when you thought you would gain.
Effecting my mind with your deceit and hateful attitude, will leave you cold and empty, wishing you would never hide the obvious envy within yourself so dear.
Where's your so called loving kindness you regard from the world you gained?
I could never want any of what you all believed would support and save you.
God alone is my support.
Any other tries to take advantage to leave me crippled and worthless.
Never again will I make the mistake to acknowledge what they only desire.
