Knee-jerk denial


Your feet smell,

... no they don’t.
Your skin will get better once you retain oil over them overnight and after showers,

...no they won’t.
YouTube workouts don’t make you healthy.

...yes they do.
Your pussy is dirty,

...no it’s not.
Water in your body is stagnant,

...no it’s not.
You don’t like me,

...yes I do.
You don’t love yourself,

...yes I do.

You’re a professional family member,

...no I’m not.

How many times the obvious was denied first, here are a memorable few,
What’ll convince you that denial doesn’t make you my equal or change what’s true.

Who knows how you see honesty,
Cause this sure as shit ain’t it, for me.

You continue to be manipulative
