Sado Masochism

 

Sado Masochism


There was a strong vein of cruelty to ya mixed with the kindness

Which for an Irishman rooted in self deprecation

Has scarred me & necessitated a grief of strengthening self punishment

I drink to self mortify too often it’s true

Something many people cannot relate to

Those who’ve not been burdened with survivor guilt

Those who think they deserve their privilege

As if somehow they could control the fate of their lives

I heard a man on the radio last night

Talking about his Irishness & the problems contained

It was so refreshing coz Dad never spoke of these traits

Still he was more like you with the cruelty mixed with the kindness

So I guess regardless of ethnicity some are alpha, some are beta

& relationships tend to be sado masochistic

Regardless of the love
