Bitter

Enough, I wanna scream,

When you spit your putrid lies and pretend to be the victim.

Enough, my screams rumble inside my chest,

When you cry and accuse me of behaving like a victim

When you keep treating me like an unwanted guest.

Enough of living in your frustration and dirt,

Never again do I want to hear your excuses

Or how badly your life is hurt.

I am not the one to blame.. so stop.

Enough of being the punching bag,

When I try my best to keep my anger bottled up

So as to not aggravate you even more.

Enough of being cautious and having to respect your space,

When you give me none when I need,

While still calling me a disgrace.

Enough of hearing your anger and you wishing me the worst

I do not deserve it, you're already my curse...

Never again, do I want to share the same air and oxygen that you do.

Enough of feeling despicable because of this damned softness I have for you.

Enough...

If you don't want my love,

Then by all means, take all the hate I have stored for you

Because after all these years, bitterness is all I have left to give you.

I feel this, it's so real the frustrations overflow.

[Tiny Drop]

Definitely overflowing. Too much resentment damages even the kindest of souls. Mine is getting tired lately, so I write these feelings to remind myself that it is just a phase. Tomorrow will be better and even if it's not better it will be different. The future is a sea of opportunities and I don't want to lose them because of this sad bitterness. I rather let these feelings go through these words and hope they will change one day.

Powerful writing
Slaps the reader in the face
Glad I'm reading this from the outside looking in.
A lot of strength in you
Enough said

Thank you Tepo. Sometimes, anger and frustration are stronger than any bottle we try to hold them in. After all, the bottle is merely made of glass and thus bound to be broken one day.
Thankfully, words have the power to keep the bitterness somewhat at bay, at least until the day I am finally able to forgive and disperse all this bitterness I accumulated throughout these long tiring years.
