a list of haves and have nots

i don’t have
the luxury
of being
self righteous
i don’t have
the means
to being
regular
righteous
i have a tongue
that carves
as well
as thoughts
that pierce
yet
inflicting pain
is the last thing
i wish to do

but
it is on
the list
written in blood
underlined
five or six times
