Just as I think I’ve grown immune to your maneuvers
You up the anties, and here I am again
On my knees, in tears
Wondering what I’ve done wrong to deserve such treatment
Your strongest weapon of all
Is your seemingly docile demeanor
Your apparently endless patience, kindness and gentleness
But that’s a mask
That you remove only when those you hurt the most can see
Only when they’re ready to forgive and forget past wrongs
It’s no coincidence that they’re also the ones who love you the most
No coincidence at all
We’re isolated in our kinship towards you
As the recipients of your choicest torturous moves
How fitting
That we should count ourselves lucky to have you for all to see
And curse our closeness to you when nobody’s looking
Poetry is so therapeutic for me sometimes the words just pour out of me and once it’s all written I feel a massive sense of relief. I feel like this piece this did that for you!

Very powerful words! I stay far away from people like that. They seem to thrive on the negative and it’s just not worth being around someone like that.

I can only imagine the pain of being around someone who’s so manipulative. It’s imperative to stay away from such negativity for one’s mental and emotional well-being.

Strong words. I think if you come across people like these you have to try your best to get away from them and keep your distance.
