Tarot (TW)
TW- Suicide
The fool
The one who called you unworthy
Who now begs at your feet for mercy
Who waves a crisp white flag
While he himself is red
The one who is remembered
For being ignorant selfish and Vain
But never for his looks
As no matter what he tells you
Those are always plain
Hanged man
A father, a son, a brother
One who could no longer stand the pressure
To work and provide
Forced to have nothing but a wife
The one who worked till dawn
But never was provided with options
Could not handle it anymore
Got a noose and a knife
And waved a sad goodbye
Death
Who sits on your doorstep
Blocking you from going outside
Holds a gun or knife
And ends you right there
Says the end is coming
Tells you its not worth running
Warns you to say your last goodbyes
Judgement
The stares of the people round
And whispers of the masses
They hate you for who you are
And look through tinted glasses
They will never accept you
There is no use in trying
Just get used to it
Or run until you stop crying
The Devil
Cursed with your wrong doings
Meeting him someday may be in play
If you sinned a mighty sin
Or layed hands on someone else
But maybe he just haunts you
Stays in your dreams
Waits for you to scream
Taunts you with nightmares
Forcing you to insanity
Saying one day
“you will end up with me”
Justice
Didnyou actually work hard for this
Are you worthy of it in the end
Did you get what was coming
Did you see it on your path
This is what you deserve
Wether it is granted or earned
Good or bad
You had it coming
And there was no way to warn you
Of the consequences
of your actions
