This World

Sometimes the truth is ugly.

This World will do that.
It will chew up your soul and spit it out,
leaving you to deal with all of the piecies.

And if the tiniest but of it ever happens to them, they start victimising their whole existence. Some people will just rip your soul apart yet making it look like something they were helping us with. This still haunts me whenever I try to protect my boundaries but my hurt heart keeps telling me that I am just being mean like them. I don't know now, if they were mean too or they had some haunting past with irregular undefined boundaries issues they tries to solve by hurting us. It is easy to destroy others rather contemplating their own thoughts and actions. I waste most of my time in not being them.

oh yes, I believe you are right,my friend.
I understand..
A thicker skin will help you protect yourself, but it is never ok to hurt others.

The ugly truth is better than a beautiful lie. This world has a way of doing exactly what you wrote. It can be cruel and unforgiving. Wonderful read and write.

With love

There's plenty of truth in this. I think this is a poem people relate to right away.

short but deeply reflective poem LA. Your opening line is a bewitching finger to tug the mind into pool of thoughts. very enjoyable read
