Rumors

People spread rumors all the time, but it's still hard to not get hurt from them.

My darling

You start rumors

You're not so perfect

Find any reason

To hate me and anyone I love

You paint me as the

Monster

Monster

I'm not just some fill in

I'm not airheaded

Or a lovesick arrogant fool

You paint me as the weirdo

Weirdo

I shouldn't get so fed up

But you break my heart like a torpedo

I guess I'm just a burden

But you're the one who stirs

The pot

You take my words and twist

I'm in the midst

Of happiness finally

But

You paint me as evil

Evil

You want me to make nobody else happy but you

And you wanna pick and choose 

I promise if you keep doing this you'll lose

There's no excuse

And there's nothing around me that needs to be cleansed

I won't let you make my friendships end

Never again

Unless you can accept me

For me

Either way, you're gonna see

I'm happy being this way

Because I'm free

I feel an element of control here by another person and the author of these lines is not giving in to it. The repetition of some words reinforces that for me. Be yourself, not what someone else wants you do be. First of yours I have read. Thank you for posting.

I like the strength shown in this poem, not willing to let an ex ruin her happiness with slander.
He just hates that she is happy now without him...but tough.
This is an absorbing write.

Could you please let me go,
I'm not after any of your friend
But my love
I have looking for this person thousands years
For some very important stuff,
I'm very sorry end of day the person is not you.
But I'm grateful for the happenings.
I will always love you.
Just only you are not that person I'm looking for
