"THE KILLER OF THEIR SWEET DREAMS"

You use your bitter past

to ensure their hopes won’t last.

“Be realistic,”

that’s what you always say

making sure your message sticks.

It’s your ego talking

always aiming for your personal win.

You fear that one day it’s them

rising from every challenge.

Such a weak, little man,

keen on total control

of your wife and children,

afraid they’ll stop obeying you

once they learn the harsh truth.

You’ve longed to be big

and stay relevant

by making sure others stay small.

What makes you think

you deserve respect?

You’re so vain,

despite standing tall.

Go ahead.

Keep feeling sad.

They’re not stupid.

They still aim for something better,

while you’re just the killer

of their sweet dreams.

Who’s the crazy one here?

This ain’t love

but an emotional blackmail

just to hide the fact

how much you’ve failed...
