You manage to twist my every words,
to fit your plans of controling me.
self-centered, selfishly and conditional,
your the only important one here.
your finger forever pointing towards me,
for I'm always the one to blame.
forcing me against the brick wall,
I turn to myself out of defenseness.
always finding I'm no contest at all.
Mental games you begin at your whim,
telling me that I'm the one whose
totally screwed up in the head.
You say I never listen to your perspective
yet that's all I hear from morning till night,
to sleep exhasts me mentally and physically.
Constantly trying to change the person I am,
because it's easier for you to do that
then change the person you have become,
avoiding who really needs to face your reality.
Slowly killing the love I once had with you
destroying the dreams that we shared.
I walk away now with uglyness inside myself
hoping one day I may heal from from your hate
of yourself that focus on me.

Your words brought back memories for me , ones that linger in the back of thoughts and reality, But my friend the sun does indeed shine again but only on a new horizon. Good to let the words flow and the heartache heal...mal

Excellent Poem - I can relate
I lived this life for ten years - with a man who was later diagnosed with Bi-polar syndrome. The news came to late - his actions killed my love and shattered our marraige. Bitter sweet to look back and know he was sick - not just an a-hole.
All the best in life,
cheryl

I can certainly relate, as I deal with "issues" of personality conflict on a regular basis. I noticed you had some misspelled words in your poem, but other than than it was a very emotional piece. You sure can feel the pain that this person has caused you, that's for sure. And perhaps, when we're that angry, who cares about misspelled words anyway???

A great write here Michele, sometimes it really helps to get it out. Some people, like you describe, do eventually grow up and some never do.
Best wishes in the contest

Well Done and good luck in the contest

Excellent
I can relate how others can twist simple words we speak from the heart. Selfishly they bind them to suit their thoughts and expressions. Then expressed amazement that we did not get the jist of their words.
Well done. Success in this contest. f
