No Sympathy

No Sympathy

A Poem by SpeedyHobbit Armstrong
"

A poem about what happens when you finally violate people's trust in you one time too many. (Most unfortunately based off real life thing that happened to me)

"

Now your friends don’t like you.

Oh, and mine don’t either. Nor do I.

 

Poor you, feeling lonely?

It’s too damn f*****g bad.

That’s what you get when

You consider people playthings!

 

No means no. Stop means stop.  Get it straight.

Oh, you’re STILL violating boundaries?

 

Sex toys your girl friends are NOT!

You said you’d never do it again.

Many a time you’ve said this.

Pray tell us then, why?

After all this forgiveness? Why do you

Throw a fast pitch back into our faces?

How many times can you prove false? CONGRATULATIONS!

You’ve FINALLY done it one time too many!

 

For now we ALL  know what you are

Rapist in the making!

Oh, you’ve  had PLENTY of second chances

Misogynistic martyr, we have our limits.

 

Understand this, you reap what you sow. You’ve

Sown seeds of sorrow. Now enjoy the reaping!

I thought this was an amazing poem. I especially loved the ending, "Now enjoy the reaping!" You get what you give. I personally believe in karma. Very well written, and thank you again for taking a look at my autobiography. It meant a lot to me.

Thank you so much, and exactly! Treating others badly accomplishes nothing but making those others .. read more

Thanks so much!
Very nice. The sense of anger, betrayal and inner turmoil are striking and ooze from every word. Excellent! :)

Thank you so much. That does very much sum up the horror I was feeling
Many times we take people for granted and not even appreciate them all we do is at times use them but we never go to their aid in times of need, that is when little by little we start losing good friends and before we know it we are left all alone, you have written this well and passed the message right.

Thanks for dropping by Cassie! [=
Impressive putting thoughts like these down, and quite relatable to a situation I've been thrust aboard recently. I like that I can sense the emotion you felt when you wrote this. Quite a way of captivating the reader.

Yikes, you can relate? If you had a similar situation then I VERY MUCH pity you
"Understand this, you reap what you sow. You’ve
Sown seeds of sorrow. Now enjoy the reaping!"
This is my kind of poetry. Honest an direct. I like the above lines. Karma is a fair judge. Sometime kind words are useless. Directness is needed to create separation. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Very much so :)
So when they say 'Karma's a b***h', they totally mean it. ;)
Great write, Cher. I have been reading other of your poems and stories, and I didn't individually comment on them, but they were all amazing. You're a gifted writer, and as it seems from your 'About Me' section, a very compassionate and nice human being.
Nice meeting you. :D

Aw. You're amazing, really. :D
This reminds me of both my ex-husbands and this why I am not with them. The ending is so nice how you wrap it up and throw it in the person's face.

I like this greatly, for like the blue lobster amongst a million red b******s, I am a good man... Not the raping sort. However, as I assume my place here is to do more than pat you on the back in agreement, why not take on a challenge: I dare you to write this same poem from HIS perspective. Believe me, you can be just as judgmental. He is an unredeemed and unsympathetic character, so make him a villain, but do it from within. Damn him more effectively by showing his rotten insides! Will you take on my challenge?
