You say I'm divisive

It gives me pause

You say I'm evil

I wonder why

When you speak

I listen carefully

When you think

I forfeit time

When I speak

You feign suffering

When I think

You scoff at mine

I am patient

With your bloodlust

I still stomach

Some of your lies

You say I'm divisive

I see you projecting

You say I'm evil

I guess I'm alright
