Just Kidding :)

have you ever stopped to wonder

how much evil has been excused

by saying “Just kidding :)”

it seems people can get away with

anything

if they just say “Just kidding :)”

once they’ve done their damage

after tears begin to flow

river-like

to sting their way

across a life desert dry

it is too late

applying their “Just kidding :)”

like salve on a wound it can never heal

does nothing

but show that “Just kidding :)”

was never in their plan

in the first place

now I may be more thin-skinned than most

(it has been said

though I’m not certain how true it is)

but if I am

and it’s known that I am

that just makes it worse
