Unapologetic
In school the one thing I have never learned
Is how to forgive those who never apologized
A new place in this headspace of mine
Angered and unsurprised
Both at the same time
A fleet of empty black cabs
Lights glowing, reflections on the harbour
This place that doesn’t exist
I was born taking life too seriously
Taught that the world worked logically
My teachers taught me the word optimism
They spun cotton candy lies, fluffy and sweet
That melt in an instant-who could blame them?
How do you tell a room full of second graders
That their future is full of bitterness
And cynicism trapped with no escape
From this headspace full of black cabs
And people who don’t apologise
