Let’s dance with all the disses,
And ask myself,
Which one hits and never misses?
The obvious one that we can all expect,
Oblivious to love, we call it disrespect
Ignored, pushed away, given the dismissal,
Does this missile blow me up on it’s arrival?
Back stabbin', with no camaraderie,
How do I handle dishonesty?
They see it another way, it’s a disagreement,
Not my way, does it release my demon?
Someone on my team, couldn’t keep up the pace,
Shame to my dream, peep the face of disgrace.
My partner my soul she fusses her lust,
Do I adjust or just rush to distrust?
I try my best and they still resent,
Convalescent or just discontent?
Cancer’s prancin’ and everybody agrees,
Am I askin’ for help or do I just wheeze this disease?
Built my rep for years and with the quickness I’m a goner,
Do I shed some tears or just hold on to the dishonor?
I see you on the street, no shoes no coat asking for change,
Why do I look away, and treat this human with disdain?
She gains some weight and has that morning eye crust,
Can I elevate or am I mournin’ in disgust?
“You’re so thoughtful, and caring” and yet no kiss, no attraction,
Am I declarin’ “it’s not about me”, or am I flarin’ dissatisfaction
My brother takes his life
we’re deep in a well of grief
Why must we make this about us
I understand it’s just disbelief.
Man, so many ways to diss, to many to list,
Let the diss go like a disco
But can I let all THIS go?
When I know the ones that hit,
I can pause and submit,
‘Cause it no longer transmits,
And I can finally see it’s benefit
