That’s Bad

For Those Who Are Everything and Nothing at All

What I’m thinking about

What I’m thinking about is bad

What I’m thinking about makes me sad

I’m sad because what I think is bad

I get told I’m bad because I’m always sad

I’m sad because I get told I’m bad

I’m bad because I’m not allowed to be anything else

Anything else than that is bad

That’s why she’s sad

That’s why I’m sad

We’re sad because we’re not mothers and wives

We’re bad because we don’t want to be mothers and wives

It’s sad that we’re bad

It’s bad that we’re sad

Sometimes the world is just bad

And that’s sad

About the Creator

Bridget Fallon

Incredibly silly and serious. I love stories, love writing them even more. I have a strange sense of humour. Smoke like a chimney, don’t understand diets. Will eat a packet of Jaffa Cakes in one sitting. Have subtly of an elephant. ☘️
