Betraying the Truth

Betraying the truth

Behind those eyes

Your words

Your thoughts

Your feelings.

Saying you need help

But then you betray

Turn around

Make false claims.

 

It's just jealousy

'Cos you aren't me.

Your ficctional life

you hide behind.

Closed shutters

A false front

false claims

false words.

Trapping people inside.

 

Your jealousy makes you weak

Makes you crumble

Makes you fall.

Hurdles will arise

That is life

You must deal.

But you build up your web,

Pretend to be....

 

You are supported

people care,

but your insecurities let you down.

Make you cry,

Make you flee.

Do you understand?

 

You want to be like 'them'

So you push all others away.

You have your goal

You have your aim.

It's a computer game!

They may be real people

But they are not all your friends

You are still new to the game

You don't understand.

 

You use them

To get where you want to be.

Top of the pile?

Wait and see.

You have so much to learn

So much to realise.

 

The internet is virtual

Not all your bonds exist.

Take a husband, wife or lover

It doesn't mean you are committed

It is a game, don't you see?

 

Your jealousy

And paranoia,

They get the best of you.

learn who loves you,

Learn who cares.

Stop turning others away.

 

I never thought this badly of you

but you used me,

to try and achieve your goals.

When I disagreed,

When I was chosen,

You acted like it was a big deal!

I know why I was chosen

You saw it as a slight.

 

I never copied, 

Didn't try to hurt you.

I did my job,

What was asked of me.

Is it my fault others preferred it?

 

Get over yourself girl -

I actually like you.

Supported you, comforted you,

Was there for you and tried to help.

A good word here,

A good word there.

But it wasn't enough.

I wasn't good enough for you to achieve

You used me, don't you see?

You thre me away when I couldn't help anymore.

 

You really hurt me. 

 

Author notes

I am just really annoyed at the moment, as someone I cared about was hurt on here before. I supported her, but then she said I was copying her to gain favour and being a bitch to me. I still don't understand why, but I feel like she used me for as long as possible.

Not happy!

    I can almost hear someone speaking the lines of this poem- demanding "Do you understand?
    You want to be like 'them'
    So you push all others away.
    You have your goal
    You have your aim.
    It's a computer game!
    They may be real people
    But they are not all your friends
    You are still new to the game
    You don't understand."

    The words of this poem are raw, personal and honest and I enjoyed reading it. The beat flowed wonderfully too. No criticism, just sincere applauding.

    You know what? This page is go pretty that it makes this poem look sweet, even though it's a "vent". At first I thought this was about your boyfriend...I see I was mistaken.

    I don't know enough about the internal workings of this site to say much more than "I hope it gets better soon"

    This page really is pretty though, and I liked how you could get your message across without completely bashing someone openly.

    On a different note...I glanced at your page and noticed that some people continually add "spirituality" things along with their comments to you. I think that some people may not get the point unless you hit them with a big stick

    Thanks too for answering my question the other day
    Take care and keep penning...

      Don't worry, this isn't about you. This is about the crisis the Greeters had the other day and some of the backlash I received from someone I tried to help.

    Bounce back!

    Good rant of a write! If you have a big heart... you give... what they choose to do with it is beyond your control. The fact that you reached out will ultimately always make you stronger. Sorry you got hurt.
    Thanks for another good read, Kj

    Spoken out.......taken in.

    Hey gal...........

    sometimes the actual needs of others
    become the answers to our own
    in another name.

    I know this...lots and lots. I know.

    I quite like this poem, lets out lots of emotion, which in turn brings back memories of when I felt used and abused..(in a relationship sense though).
    Quite sad really, in that we feel the need to use others, for our own gains, or to make ourselves feel better. (The Human Race Sucks - might move planet's I think - I hear Pluto's nice this time of year...LOL)
    You've done a great job with this poem...Congrats

      Still, PLuto isn't a planet anymore babes - you will have to go to Neptune I am afraid!
