Mind Games

Mind Games

Each insult you throw
A punch to my stomach
In the next breath you take
Your words are like honey

I hide behind this façade
A wall built for you
Smile
SHHHHH don’t say a word

You twist and pull at the strings of my mind
Until finally they break
I lie in heap on the floor
Just a puppet with no puppeteer

And I allowed this to happen
At each harsh word
I turned the other cheek
Awaited the storm to blow over

Anger is your only weapon
Constantly attacking my already weary mind
You unbury the suppressed emotions
Past the point of no return

Until finally I attack
Like a frightened dog
Not to be trusted
And you wonder why I bite

You played me like a fool
Thought you had the upper hand
Your cruelty was your own demise
The day you decided to play with fire.

Author notes

Just venting....

I decided to write down some random thoughts this afternoon, and this was what came out.

Please tell me what you think

    This was really deep. The best way to fight back is not keeping your head down but holding it high and showing them you will not give up Well done

    Di this was brilliant, this poem shows how we can be pushed and pushed but all have a breaking point, It is when we hit the point of no return that we go into melt down and explode. fantastic write her my dear friend all my best wishes to you Brian.

    I know not if it's true or nay
    But sounds that you should squelch your stay
    With others who cause you to vent
    Have no sanity to repent.
