a toast to me

by FireFly - Libra

Misunderstood in my misspent youth-
I can see those people, now-
Those who cursed and praised my name-
In the same breath-
That hollow person-
Anybody could carve out a personality-
In-
And I could find solitude in my indifference-
To them or what they were about-
A safe vestige away from confrontations- 

I was obsessed and defiant with the little things-
A pure insanity that few agreed with-
A joy of mine you could not measure-

I shudder now, to think of the cruelties of my insensitivities-
Yet I find I still have it…still-
So I raise a glass to those who can identify-
And those who can’t-

And I say to you all cordially…. fuck you-
