I Can't
Writing is a cathartic process in which I find my voice in different facets of each poem. Poetry, is a unique discourse of reflections
I can't tell you how many times
you've taken away my dignity
reducing me to the level you're on
I can't explain why you're so crude
I can't explain why you're a fool
You have no grace, you are a
disgrace to your race
I can't say why you are a hypocrite
but its written across your forehead
I can't understand where your thinking
comes from, the dark ages, Antediluvian
I can't feel anything but rage,
I can't fell anything close to love
I can't feel forgiveness
I can't feel hope
I can't believe you deceived me
into thinking you were more
than what you appeared to be
I can't believe I bought into
the lies that drips from your lips
I can't believe to my shame I
bought into your game
fool me once shame on me
fool me twice, I ought to be
I can't see the future
my vision is cloudy
I can't win in a game of all
give and no take
I can't loose what little
self-respect that I have
I can't let you smother
my dreams
If I continue on this journey
I'll wake one morning
hating myself more than
I hate you
I can't let you take away
any more of my Identity
I can't be the court jester
I can stand and walk out
this damn door

hmmm the games people play can be so hurtful. So sorry this has happened to you. Writing helps though, I think. You really put yourself out there on this one, hope whomever it was gets to read it. You have now met my purple lizard, it helps a great deal to have a wonderful muse. Best of luck darlin', and good health and peace to you, Charlie
