Darling, I know

Poisonous

Don't let their words bring you down darling
Don't look at yourself the way they see you
Don't sink down with them
Darling, it's all right
Darling, you're alright.

Don't let them deflate your dreams
Don't let their opinion matter
Darling, I know they are supposed to be there for you
But they're not
And darling, I know it hurts
Darling I know you feel alone and out of place
But it's okay because you're going somewhere
---------------------------------------------------------
What is a friend anymore?
I thought a friend was someone who was loyal
And always had your back
A person who didn't judge you or make you feel insecure
I thought a friend boosted you up
I thought a friend is what I am to you.

But darling oh you are the farthest thing from
Do you know you have made tears fall from my eyes?
Made me feel like I just wanted to die,
Did you know how much I gave up so you could have it
I gave him up for you
I gave different parts of myself up for all of you
And I'm left here
Alone, with nothing but my aching soul
And you have the audacity to tell me I don't care
Well just wait because I will find people who
Appreciate me; Love me; Respect me
And then you will miss me
But until then I am stuck in this labyrinth
Screaming silently,
Hating you more and more each day.
It's all fake, this all fake
As fake as your plastic smile
Every word you utter is dripping with acid
One day you will be revealed until then
I will write my secrets away
And pray for the day
When I can finally run away
From you, from here; from everything.

Author's Note

By far one of my weaker pieces, I just had to let my feelings out I didn't really focus on the writing as much

I didn't think this piece was weak at all, it portrays a very important message and is a great read. very well done :)

i found the first two stanzas very motivating, yet as i read on, i noticed the poem wasn't simply about accepting and believing in yourself. it reminded me of friendships i myself have gone through. it's difficult to have to deal with someone who isn't supportive, or acts in a dishonest manner. it hurts when people aren't there for you. emotional poem, thank you for sharing :)
