Welcome to Word Play Wednesday!
Word Play Wednesday is a weekly feature of written and spoken word poetry. I will be sharing my written and spoken word poems in addition to poems by other like minds. If you are interested in sharing some of your poetry, feel free to buzz me and we can work something out.
I hope that you enjoy reading and listening to our thoughts, feelings and rants and in many ways relate to some of them.
Enjoy!
Today’s poem was written by a fellow poet, Boma.
Gaslight
I have doubted my sanity
I doubt no more
I shout no more
I’ve been made a fool
A tool
Mockery in your sight
Deceit in your eyes
Do not tell me what I saw
Cos you will tell me the black goat
Was white with rope around a post
I second guess myself no more
I apologise no more
For the offences I’ve committed
For the offences I never committed
For the offences I will commit
I know you will play the victim
But I’m prepared for you,
I’m the victor here
Even better I’d play the villain
The benevolent tyrant
Have no fear
I haven’t run insane
I have only learnt your game
And I’m dishing it back to you
Served piping hot
Steaming like a waiting volcano
Its your turn to doubt your sanity
Take a seat strap on your seat belt
Cos I’m about to drive you beyond the edge
Ha!
I will drive you crazy.
