As They Fall

As They Fall

A Poem by Barbara Walker
"

The drama people insist on bringing into your life

"
I am disgusted,
fed up and more,
with people
who cause problems
and drama
and don't care who
they trap in their s**t,
they don't care at all,
not even a little bit.

Family members, loved ones,
are dragged into their mess,
but being so self-centered,
the culprit refuses to see,
how all are affected
in many ways and means.

Their consideration
for those they say they love,
is non-existent
and everyone has to crawl,
when they bring everyone
down with them,
as they fall.

Dear Barbara,

There are many in life that do not think about their actions. They don't think about them because they simply do not care. They do not feel for others, or at least do not value what others feel on par with their own feelings. It's a simple truth and run from the not so serious to pathological killers. Sigh...I wish people were better than this. Some are, but the count is too few for my taste.

I enjoyed the poem, Barbara. Again very direct and honest.

Best regards,

Rick

The World is full of selfish, reckless people! It's amazing to me how narcissism has run amuck! These days everyone goes for self as you so eloquently described in this piece.... Eventual demise! I enjoyed the pain ride, thank you!

Hard place to be when the family can't get along. People like to make small things big. I do my best to stay away from problems. I hope all thing are going well with you. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
