judgement is always made unfairly
it casts aside all that could be
as though possibility’s empty
you don’t even have to try
destroying everything with lies
though with every word - denial
we’ve left no room to still be friends
tragedy consuming anything left
your ethos wreaks of ill-intent
eventually, they’ll all realize
you’re charm is simply a disguise
your vanity competing with pride
unaware of any middle to meet
unaware of an maltreatment
outside quiet but inside screaming
hanging around like a haunting
a power i neglected to see
for what seemed like an eternity
past history on display
hurdles that i overcame
finding strength in my mistakes
negating fear, resentment, shame
melting away into yesterday
leaving only progress made
