it covers me in ruins

i must defend myself as i never did before

i would have preferred
to leave it buried deep

knowing when i fling the mud
decades thick
deserved or undeserved
no longer matters

because i am self aware
(to a degree feasibly so)
i know when the mud strikes
it will splash back and cover me
in its ruins

why must i defend myself from you
is this a secret you keep even from yourself
