Grinch

People say, "Don't be a Grinch!"
as if it's a bad thing 
They're Hooville's flying monkeys 
I don't like taking sides 
but for him, I will 
I will speak up 
I will defend the Grinch 
Hooville is the bully
Gaslighters
He, the victim 
Green, furry body 
Sorta smelly
But it's not his fault 
A little quirky 
A little different 
But Hooville loved to assault 
They loved to insult 
They loved to hurt my friend 
the Grinch 
Then they wondered why 
he was the way he was 
They blamed him 
They caused him so much pain 
They drove him to depression 
They caused him great anxiety 
Then they pushed him out of town 
Up the mountain, in the cave 
I understand his rage 
I understand his reasoning 
for stealing Christmas 
It wasn't because he's a bad guy 
The Grinch is not a bad guy 
He was hurt and wanted revenge 
I don't condone his thievery 
But I understand his master plan 
Everyday he lives with C-PTSD
He sufferers through the trauma 
but he can't even cry to his mama 
He's angry, mad 
Secretly he's sad
He just needed an outlet 
Remember how he righted his wrong?
He just needed someone to help his heart heal 
and somewhere to belong
