Other I See Through Your Smile

[bright future28]

I dont know why you carry that smile on your face
You should be grimacing instead with disgrace
Your nothing but a bully
A coward in disguise
You cant pull the wool over my eyes
I dont know how you can live with yourself with
all your secrets and lies
Your nothing but a wolf in sheeps clothing
Inside I am loathing
How could you trick me like you did
i was only an innocent kid
Though this story doesnt end in dread
Iv seen things in a new light
Im no longer filled with fright
When I think of your pathetic smirk
All i think is what a jerk
You no longer have a hold over me
I have opended the door again
Im free
Only I hold the key.

Really sorry as i don't know you and you will probaboy pull the free speech card but... I find this offensive.... When you say how can you live with yourself i hope you dont mean they shouldnt be alive.. Anyway in gemeral i dont see how posts containing hate in any form to a man xed audience can be productive... Sorry had to say It

Why do you find this offensive? It is not a personal attack on the abuser, but a truthful statement. How can they smile when the have abused an innocent person? There is also no statement in the poem about the writer wishing the abuser was dead. It is a poem of victory telling the bully that he no longer holds the victim captive, and I for one salute @bright future28 for their desire to overcome the effects of being bullied. Bravo as the British would say.:)

Im sorry you take offense to me expressing pain i have felt through poetry. I did not mean to offend watsoever its just my own theraputic way of getting my feelings out. I posted it as i thought it might give comfort to others who have had similar experiences. As @RussH said not once have i wrote i wish they were dead the poem is more about empowerment and gaining strength after terrible events. Its definetly not aimed as a hate message to all men in general only a small number of bullys who have caused me great pain and im only just coming to terms with everything. Writing poetry is one of my ways of coping so I suggust if you find my words offence next time dont read them :) thanks for the support @RussH

This is a ptsd forum...... Emotions are essential & if they cannot be expressed here then where?
I feel & love this poem I'm sure it applies to so many who are abused.
Brightfuture28 even the title hit home hard!

Thank you so much @AnnaC. I won't feel intimidated not to put in words how I feel just because someone finds it "offensive" I hope nobody else feels discouraged either xx

I woke early one morning,
The earth lay cool and still
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched on my window sill,
He sang a song so lovely
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles
Began to slip away.
He sang of far off places
Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his very trilling,
brought up the morning sun.
I stirred beneath the covers
Crept slowly out of bed,
Then gently shut the window
And crushed his frikkin' head.

....I'm not a morning person.
