MOCK ME

Once in a lifetime you find a soulmate
Or so they say
But you hide
It’s not a closet you’re in
It is Houdini’s cage!


I love these woods
I wear this crown
I love myself
You didn’t even try
To be king for one day


You promised me heaven
But gave me air
Nothing
I run from you
Or I suffocate


Do not come for me
When you found the exit
Make your own kingdom
Twine your own crown
Without me.
