BALLISTIC

BALLISTIC

You've driven me ballistic
With your blatant belligerent bossiness,
You've bullied me with brainwashing
Boasting about your better beliefs;
Being a braggart, a buoy of hope
Bubbles up within my brain,
Bringing me beautiful visions
Of bright and bountiful days
You've brought me to the brink
Of bitterness and yet, I survive
Knowing the banter is bouncing
Off my soul and into the brine
Of a beautiful and benevolent surf;
I am beginning to beg for mercy
As I bound out of the bog you created,
Beginning to be a beautiful person;
Brighter and beautiful days become
A bountiful reality!
