I'm not happy...
in fact, I'm really feeling quite sad.
Sad because I'm sad first,
and not down right angry and mad.
I'm not in love...
in fact, I think you could call this hate.
Love would mean I'd have to care,
about a person who doesn't even rate.
I'm not crazy...
in fact, I'm actually feeling quite sane.
Unless you think it crazy,
that I want to flush you down a drain.
I'm not anxious...
in fact, I'm really in no big hurry.
Karma will take care of you,
on that I can depend and will not worry.
I'm not rude...
in fact, I'm actually feeling quite polite.
Rude would be a person like you,
who always thinks that he is right.
I'm not quiet...
in fact, I think I want to be really loud.
My new set of friends don't like you much,
and you're now part of the out-crowd.
I'm not selfish...
in fact, I give away more than I ever take.
I gave you everything I had to give,
and all you did was take...take...take.
I'm not stupid...
in fact, I know before you I was very smart.
But even the smartest of us make mistakes,
like the day I gave you my heart.

Thank you again. This write was a fun piece, not very serious...more for the practice on the different writing style. Trying new things to challenge myself...some work, some just slip by...like this one.

Bravo
First because you are feeling sad -
You have worded this so well and the emotional flow was intense. I hope you feel happier soon, time heals all but we must live in the moment we are at and not dwell too much on the past

Thank you for the huggs, not one, but three...I must have done my job well if you think I needed three huggs. The fact is that I wrote this more for the practice with the writing style and ryhming scheme than from experience. I have a relationship from my past that I can always use to inspire me wiyh emotional content, but that was over years ago and so are the sad painful feelings...good for me. But huggs are always good...and one never can get enough huggs.
Thanks for the read and the welcome comments.

Purge Him Right Out Of There.
It's good to know you are through, and you will make it! Thanks for sharing here, and know you are cared for. Much love and light I send your way this day, but I have to keep some for myself, so, you can have much, but not all.
Peace sweet soul, and a well expressed piece here you have weaved.
