Write a poem that starts in a cheerful, bright mood, but then reveals underlying anger or bitterness.
My trust
It's my birthday tooo!!!
(Cw: This is basically just a bunch of teenage angst jumble so yeah it might be a lot. A lot of suicidal ideation and probably a toxic relationship)
I remember how I felt when I first met you
You made me felt heard, love, wanted
You were the first I spoke up with
You had similar interests as me and you wanted to be friends
I felt great excited to talk to you
Maybe that would've been it
Maybe that would've been the end
But of course life wouldn't be like that
It stated go more east
You got more and more attached to me
I supposed I did the same
I stopped going out from much
Just to talk to you
Even when you would yell at me
Saying that I didnt care for you
Saying that I didn't like you
That I was just with you for pity
And even with my sorry and my doing of trying to explain it never was enough
You would get mad, explode at me for the smallest things
Get mad at me for stuff that hadn't even happened to me
Made me scared to go home
Scared of the weekends because I didn't want an argument
Made me genuinely terrified for you
Using me as a fucking therapist yet saying that I was the only one in your life that cared
Having me push you off of suicide yet still say I never fucking cared
No matter how much time I spent with you it was never enough
Never enough for you
I was never enough for you
You only used me because you didn't want to be alone
You yelled at me for almost every week
Every week I would have breakdowns because I was so scared
And all for what?
Your fucking insecurities?
Ones that were always my fucking fault?
No matter what I said
No matter if I said 'IM SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY I'M SORRY.."
No matter what you still took everything out on me
No matter if I told you I was traumatized it was still about you
You.
No matter how many times I've left I always came back
By how pathetic I was
And now you repay me by doing the same stuff I did to you that "hurt your feelings"
I hope the guilt eats you alive
I hope you know the pain you caused me
I hope you feel the same fear I did
I can wish and wish all I want but I know I could never hate you
And that's what hurts the most
Not how you treated me, that I can't hate you
I hate myself for coming back
I hate myself for not having a backbone
I hate myself for still looking up to you
I hate myself
(Masive vent ahh. Also please do not talk about the person in the comments, it's in the past and it makes me uncomfortable, okay?)
