No More

No more bullshit
No more lies
No more of your
fake disguise

No more narcissism
No more games
No more calling me
nasty names

No more bullies
No more abuse
No more making up
a dumb excuse

No more gaslighting
No more control
No more daggers
from your damaged soul

I’m over and out
and all done in
The straws been broken
you won’t win

I’m freeing myself
from your deadly hold
From your charming deceit
and your need to scold

I’m escaping your wrath
your oppressive control
I’m a child of the light
you don’t own my soul

God has me
safe In His hands
So give up your schemes
and all your plans

Walk away
and don’t look back
Cause I’ve closed the door
on your vicious attacks

Such honesty.. such emotion! Only you, as I remember, way way back, could have said what so many think of saying. But then you always did sparkle and set the blood roaring.. It's woman's rights personified or is it merely 'RIGHT!', all over again. Carolann !

One day, we'll measure hair past shoulder blades and see who could best play Rapunzel!

[Carolann Dowsett]

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you 😊

[Neville]

Say it like it should be said ... then rejoice and sing it loud why dont' ya.... Neville

[Carolann Dowsett]

Loud enough for the world to hear 😊

[Neville]

Good on ya and so good to hear....

[Ghost]

You have to put distance between the poison of a bad relationship with someone who hurt you... I hope releasing the words help you to heal..

[Carolann Dowsett]

Writing is always cathartic no matter what the situation

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

We must keep our distance from those who are toxic to us or else our emotions will be poisoned and die off.

I love you take no crap anymore stance in the poem. Direct, no beating around the bush.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you. I’m glad you like it.

[Randolph]

Well then. Perhaps I'll just forward this to my Ex then?

[Carolann Dowsett]

Sounds like it resonates.

[Randolph]

Like a f*****g gong. Pardon my language. I mean "bell".

[Carolann Dowsett]

Haha glad I’m not the only one who’s been subjected to it

[Randolph]

Absolutely not. One day the Walking Wounded will figure out how the weaponry works. Then we'll see who has all the sleepless nights, yes?

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yeah for sure. Armouring ourselves with knowledge is our best defence.

[Randolph]

Armour with knowledge, sharpen the weapons.....

[Randolph]

Excuse me: Armor with knowledge, sharpen the Words. There. Cleverer.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Very cleaver :)

[Davidgeo]

Excellent description of a sociopath/emotional vampire.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Exactly. Thank you

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it is so good to read you again...and you don't hold back, as usual....this is an "in your face" spitting fire kind of poem...the rhythm is excellent and makes the momentum even stronger and more powerful in its rage and freeing of self.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks Jacob it’s been a while. I’m glad you enjoyed this
