The Mess You Made

This poem is about the affects one's actions have on another. It explores the idea of the mess one's actions can make in another person's life. Please read it and enjoy!

I used to hate it when you'd shun me

And use the silence treatment to manipulate me

Chills ran up and down my body

When I'd heard the harsh things you'd say so freely

All the boosting of your self esteem, and the demolishing of mine 

Finally made a realization cross my mind

Enlightening me on your massive inability to care 

Your refusal to empathize the pain that I bear 

You talked derogatorily behind my back

Making my secret flaws, well-known facts

Your dramas and gossip simply don't affect me

Yet your toxicity ails my life entirely

Oh, how you caused me so much trouble and distress

Now I have to pick up the pieces of this terrible mess
