Rebate for a Thief

written by: OurSacredHonor

I disintegrate
I don't want to debate
My fate any longer
I hate
The way you contemplate
If all I do is to your satisfaction
How you rate my every action
I wait
For time to run out
Too late anyhow
Please sedate me now
Separate
What they taught
The bait with which you were caught
Differentiate
Spoken word from thought

Congratulations
You broke me
You've succeeded
In bringing me down
Finally you did it
You broke me at last
My knees are on the ground

Anticipate
The conclusion
Can't concentrate
On finding a solution
I ate
My words right off my plate
Bent the curve and made it straight
This state
Of utter disbelief
A rebate
Issued to a tactful thief
I'll keep this short, I'll keep this brief
Clean slate
The chance I won't be given
Relate to me the unforgiven
You participate only to stop the driven

Congratulations
You broke me
You've succeeded
In bringing me down
Finally you did it
You broke me at last
My knees are on the ground
