many judgmental thoughts
mean comebacks
egotistical assumptions
come up in my mind
they try to poison the cells of my brain
and sneak their way into my tongue and arms

but they don’t know
i’m watching
they don’t know
that i know that
i am not them
i don’t lose my power
to their illusional accuracy

i hear them
watch them
witness them

i strip myself
off their dirt
splashing everywhere

i just be
and watch them lose
as they pass
unattended
unanswered
