TORN AT THE TRIGGER, NOT

You always said I held the Gun..
The upper hand, you knew was mine
Communications.. Once so fun
Though now I see straight through your Ply
Both coats, Both faces,
Your shellac ...
Veneer is peeling, worn, and drawn
In the light of day, In the light of dawn..
I see your ruse..your corpse so black
But that's Okay... you keep that too...
Your sad veneers I've long since peeled
Your so abused? You're so confused?
Those martyr lies have been revealed..
Such lies, lined up in uniforms
You're Decay in a suit, You're no unicorn...
To think that time spent wasted, THROUGH..
The hours, your anger, I wasted, forlorn..
To buy the lies twas fed by you..
That spoon, slipped in, the perfect form..
But now that I have seen the truth,
You're Right... The upper hand is fit..
And now the only question, Torn...
This gun is cocked...
Can I pull it?...

There is an attitude here that makes this a most enjoyable read. Swagger with a middle finger. Made me smile. Great job

[Bare trees]

I like the internal rhyme and the aggressiveness of it as well as the slight sarcasm. Nice.

[M. L. F.]

Thank you... I try

[Bare trees]

Don't we all. ;)

[M. L. F.]

Lol.. Well, yes we do👏👌

[Norman 223]

Your descriptive venom is both cutting ....and hilarious. "Decay in a suit ".... How to make a man squirm and the onlooker snort with laughter......Masterly ( or should that be Mist(ress)ly in your case)
Loved it. Norman

[M. L. F.]

Haha! Thanks Norman... I'm glad you enjoyed the work. This one turned out nicely but writing it was a little less fun..content wise and all I don't like to hurt people. Even the ones that I am upset with.. Thanks again for the read... :) Again so glad you enjoyed the work! :)

I have definitely read this one before? I love the ending of this poem, it's so powerful!

[M. L. F.]

Yes, you're onto me... lol. I gave it a new title and posted it again. I took it down for personal reasons and put it back up again, sans drama. Thank you so much for both the lovely reviews... I remember both of them. ;)

[Giulia King]

Hahaha okay good, it means I'm not going crazy! Because when I was reading this, I was thinking have I dreamt about this poem? I recognize it.
I totally understand. This is a great piece and you're a great writer!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yeah, Gullia happened with me too! Thought I had been reading it in my dream! This Misty is really a "mystery" lol 😂😂😂

[M. L. F.]

Awwww... gosh... heart bursts... Thank you! :) I like your work as well. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment Gullia. :)

[M. L. F.]

LOL at YumnaKay.. :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yeah just it again, 'you're too funny' 😂😂
I know I am 😂😂😂😂😂

[Lovecraft]

Wow, great wording. I like the rhyme scheme, somewhat unique.
Can you truly pull that trigger?

[M. L. F.]

When I had to...and sadly.. Yes. Glad you liked the rhyme scheme and the wording..

[Dr. YumnaKay]

My memory has gone off.. Did you just change the title or the whole poem? Because it seems to me I've read this before? Oh sorry I still love it 😂😉

[M. L. F.]

No... reposted new title lol.... Easiest way to clean the drama off the comments... :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha that's an idea! Might as well do it myself lol 😂

[M. L. F.]

Lol.. Why not? 😂😂👏

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha then I'll have to repost all my work 😂

[M. L. F.]

Ha!! Sounds like too much work.. 🤔🖍📖📝😂

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha yeah about 60+ poems 😂😂😂

[M. L. F.]

Lol... wow.. nice.. I have been on WC actively posting about 11 months... 1 story...2 teasers.. and 36 poems. YOU are blazing ahead of me!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hah that's 'cause you write meaningful things! I write crap mostly 😂 so it's easy to write daily 😛

[M. L. F.]

Lol... noooo... you write quite meaningful things in my opinion. I also think your first MBTI test was correct... INTJ. I know one and it seems to fit you more... but I'm psychic and nosy lol...so feel free to tell me to shut up and mind mine anytime you need to.. haha.. 😂👏

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha the thing with being an introvert is that it feels good being an 'extrovert' online lol 😉 read moreHaha the thing with being an introvert is that it feels good being an 'extrovert' online lol 😉
I liked my INTJ self but this shocked me.. As in 'feelings?' That sucks haha.
And nosy? I think we're in the same boat so now tell me to shut up 😂😂😂

[M. L. F.]

Lolol... hahaaa!! Well then.. I see you're feeling all disgusted by the feelings diagnosis... lol.. see my results in my pics.. last page.. try being me.. 75% feels... I'm a walking human emotion.. INFJ get mistaken as extraverts because of our deep need to connect with someone... I will have deep convos with the mailman or an old woman picking up her dogs poo in the park if she'll go there with me... lol

[M. L. F.]

SWIM DEEP...with me ppl... swim deep lol

[M. L. F.]

If you are really INFJ as opposed to INTJ you will get that... the feeling that most ppl only get to layer 2 with you... then crickets chirp... while I want to go to layer 200

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha I know more about INFJ lol my best friend being one.. Yeah highly mistaken as extroverts haha but in actual like to stay reduced in their shells 😂😉

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yeah well currently I'm floating in between F and T haha 😛

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Just 69% of an introvert? That ain't much.. I got 99% 😉

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Lol I just took the test again and I'm an ISTJ now 😂😂😂 seems as if even mbti is confused about me 😂😂😛😛

[M. L. F.]

Lol!!! 99% @!! Wow.. and yes... You are an MBTI mystery it seems! 😂📖👌

[M. L. F.]

I would say INTJ... because you seem to get the deeper things.. but I could be wrong and confused like your test results.. 😂😂😂

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Well yes, INTJ has turned up in my tests more than the others so most probably I'm an INTJ 😊 mind you they are mostly criminal minded operating alone lol 😂

[M. L. F.]

Yes... I KNOW one.... you are correct... ;) but mostly they are so for the good of protecting the high moral conviction types like me... you are here to "protect the angels" so to speak.... pretty noble job eh "SuperWoman".. ;) 🤗👏👌🦄

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha yeah that's all I got..to protect INFJ people.. Why would any one want protection? Lol 😂

[M. L. F.]

Hahhhahahaha!!! You are too much fun! Strike what I said about protecting us.... you are REALLY here to make us laugh! :) Too funny.. Yeah I guess we sorta don't need protecting.. there is a meme of INFJ with a cute little fluffy chick / duck and it has a rocket launcher on it's shoulder and it says something like: INFJ ... soft and fluffy most of the time, but kick a*s when needed... ;) I can see why you tested INFJ / INTJ... I studied it a bit, and research shows that your type and mine are the two most crossed / mis-tested types... In other words... they often test as the other. I knew you were crazy like me! :) jk

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha I've known it all along😉 I mean I don't get on my funny side with people usually but I do with you coz we are the same crackpots 😂😂😂 sorry was that too much?

[M. L. F.]

There is not often such a thing as "too much" with me.. well at least not too much funny ;)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hah beware of me then 😛😉

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'm probably saying too much, but what more can you expect from a kid like me? 😂😂😂

[M. L. F.]

Hahahha LOL... your humor has been accepted, please drive through.. *robotic female voice recording drifts off* Oh sorry started writing silliness.. Oh yeah we're on a site for writing! How could I have forgotten? ;)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Lol interpreting here: shoo 😂😂😂
Don't worry I'm one clingy a*s as hell 😉
Carry on, coz I just got free after studying for my exams the whole day 😂😂😂
