all my words are less because you see them
alliteration, structure, and the rest
perhaps I pushed you further with my test
when I threw a pig, this priceless gem

My wisdom is quite faceted it’s true
learned solely from my hard and traveled road
pure parts of pain, my educated load
The bruises on my flesh were all for you

I somehow thought that this was what you knew
assuming that you knew the poet’s code
and so, it seems, my theory is quite flawed

filled only with a skewed and fractured view
of who you were and promise that you showed
inside your dark and dirty world of fraud

you’re the ruined apple in this system
a rotten spot that’s damaging our best
and thinking that you’re flawless, that’s the jest
possibly the problem’s with your brain stem

genetic failings father your facade
and any cure for you, an act of God

Perks....

....I wasn't going to comment on any of the 'hyper' poems, but this is too good to pass up without me telling you how wonderful it is.
