When It’s Only You That Sees It

I really don’t mind saying

That I’m actually quite proud of this

As it describes that employee

To an absolute tee

Despite the sweetness she emits

The Bake Sale

Bringing
along
a
flask of
coffee

And
your
frosted
homemade
cake

Doesn’t
make you
any more
likeable

Or any
less
fucking
fake

Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You

You badgered me into talking

As you were oh so concerned

So I opened that can

Then turned and ran

And left you with the worms

So Help Me…

Just
keep
pushing
me

To see
what
it’s
about

Just
don’t
blame
me

When I
finally
lash
out

When Pushed

I actually love sassy me

I just wonder where she went

As I really only see her

At times of hostility and torment

Undefeated

You might
not be
speaking
to me

But I know
you’re
speaking
about me

That
means
I win

‘The Winner Takes It All’

You ignored me for

That whole weekend

Never once looking me

In the eye

As you were so set on

Being their number one

You pretended not

To realise

But I knew full well

What you were doing

As that wasn’t

The only time

You’d been playing those games

For your own gain

Since you first planned

My demise

So I waited

And I watched

And sure enough

You came simpering back

So then I knew

All I had to do

Was to launch

My final attack

Good Enough

So I’m good enough
to speak to today?

Now all your friends
have gone away?

Well I’ll hold my tongue
and try to be nice.

But you’ll find my lenience
comes at a price.

Another Failed Bribe

Please don’t bother

Sending a card

I have no use

For your money

In fact anything you post in

Will be thrown in the bin

As I couldn’t care less, honey

Congratulations

Am I
supposed
to feel
something?

Because
I don’t

Am I
supposed
to thank
you?

Because
I won’t

Used

And we all know why that is, don’t we?

We all know what you stole

Any trust in men

Was taken when

You denied me any control

Don’t Touch Me

People

be loved

It’s something we
won’t allow

People
like me
can never
be loved

We simply don’t

If Pushed

They’re not always

About you, you know

These thoughts

Inside my head

Sometimes

I’m more than capable

Of putting myself first

Instead

As If

What’s
that

I
hear
you
say

Don’t
stand
at your
grave
and
weep

I

Harsh But Fair

If I thought you were capable

Of genuine emotion

Then of course

I would offer to help

But as it is

It’s just crocodile tears

So you can go fuck yourself

Water Off A Duck’s Back

If
you
weep
a little
louder

They
might
hear
you
at the

Just
don’t

that
I’ll

Flogging A Dead Horse

I don’t know why I think

You’d be the same as me

If you were taken to the brink

Of complete insanity

Because you would never feel that way

You are not the same as me

You are far too fucking selfish

And devoid of empathy

The Switch

Why
don’t
you

Swap
places
with me

Sink
to the
depths

That
I have
been

For
if you
were to
suffer

The
way
I do

Perhaps
you
would
feel

The
same
way

Putting It Politely

I looked you up

On Facebook

And see you all

Still play that game

Hiding behind

Fake smiles and lies

The pretence

Still the same

Now you’ve heard me say

I walked away

And I’m infinitely glad

I did

As if I had to pose

In any more those photos

I fear by now

I’d have flipped my lid

Picture Perfect

Continue to enjoy

Your sweet little lives

And act as you see fit

I’m just relieved

I no longer suffer

The toxicity that lies

Beneath it

A Day Reclaimed

When asked to describe

The best day of your life

I’m sure you’ve got many replies

When you got married,

The birth of your kids

Or some such equally befitting prize

Well I know that for me

It was when I chose to be free

And told those fuckers I’d never be back

And ever since that time

I’ve been on cloud nine

With no fear of that panic attack

Family Dinners

Can I be arsed with this?

No.

Do I still have to go?

Yes.

Fuck.

To Never Apologising Again

This is how

You made me feel

Pathetic, lonely

And small

It took me far too long

To realise

That this wasn’t love

At all

Apologies

I’m sorry I act like I don’t care,

I’m sorry it seems like I’m rarely there.

I’m sorry it looks like I don’t even try,

I’m sorry that you’ve never see me cry.

I’m sorry I never appear in a hurry,

I’m sorry I always make you worry.

I’m sorry I can’t be who you want me to be.

But most of all I’m just sorry for being me.

Game, Set And Match

And who did win out

In the end?

Well it wasn’t you

Was it my friend

All that effort

To leave me crushed

And yet I walked

Before I was pushed

Match Point

Please,
ignore
me
more and
more
each day.

For you’ll
only
push me
further
away.

Please,
glower
at me

each week.

For
I won’t

Please,

To do this / do that

And you expected

I’d dance to your tune

Well, in reality

People Pleasing

I spent years people pleasing

And it wrecked my mental health

So now I don’t please anyone

Except my fucking self

I’ve Heard It All Before

Doesn’t give you

An excuse

To hurt me

By calling you a ‘loathsome swine’

And you may appear contrite

But let’s see how you act

But you and I know

How this will end

Just Enough Justification

That day you decided

To take it all from me

Yet all you actually provided

As your grief is just an excuse

Or just for its shock value

Based On Real Events

Eating a sandwich

Outside one day

Someone shouted this

In a jokey way

I snapped back with the truth

And needless to say

They shut the fuck up

And walked away

Lost In Thought

“Cheer up, love!

You don’t know,
it might never happen.”

“I do
and it did.

So piss off.”

Learning The Hard Way

I remember the inspiration

For this one

It was based on

A session I’d had

With a particularly

Shitty therapist

Back when I

Was clinically mad

He said my struggles

Were my own fault

And to get better

I ‘must try harder’

Yet I was the one

Who apologised to him

Like I was forced to

With my father

I’ve realised since

That I’d been conditioned

To seek out

The approval of men

To say sorry

For my shortcomings

To promise never

To do it again

But I

Am getting older now

And I can feel

The strength in myself

So all those men

Who have fucked me over

Can go and rot

In hell

Must Try Harder

You must try harder, he says

Harder to smile

Harder to laugh

Harder to forgive

Harder to forget

Harder to live again

Harder to love again

You must try harder, he says

I can’t, she whispers

I’m sorry

Eating

Depleted

It was easier when I was angry

When I was filled with hate

When I wanted nothing more

Than your head on a plate

It’s harder now I’m ‘better’

As the bitterness subsides

For all I have been left with

Is this hollowness inside

Yours or mine

Who was it that took this

Over the line?

Was it me

With my brutality

And supposed lack of rationality?

Or was it you

With fuck all else with your time to do?

Either way it doesn’t matter

As the line has now been crossed

It’s just a shame that we’ll never know

Which one of us won or lost

If I can forgive you

For all the pain

Season’s Beatings

I fucking hate Christmas

Just like Christmas hates me

Walking on eggshells all day

Faking smiles around a tree

I learned when I was five

Santa doesn’t deliver for free

That he prefers ‘good little girls’

And the one he favoured that year was me

As an adult I’ve tried to make it better

To erase him from my memory

But I still fucking hate Christmas

Just like Christmas hates me

Robbed of what’s right

Handed your rival the win
With no case left to plead
You took it on the chin

When my doubts

Fell away

And I walked on broken glass

Now with veins

I wouldn’t

Think twice

About kicking your sorry ass

I’ve long suspected

You were a dickhead

But now I know for sure

So because you’ve behaved

As expected

You were hurt

And so was I

Not that it’s a competition

But if it was

Then rest assured

You could never beat my position
