Angry

By Matta Bhavitha

A reflection of me, mirrored by you

A fortnight of deception that I cannot undo

Maybe I should’ve warned everyone about you

But we all know that no one will listen to anyone, unless they’re forced to

Now they tell me that I was right

And I feel sorry to the people who still wholeheartedly believe you

You make up lies in your head

And you fully convince yourself and others that it’s true

I know that one day, you will show your true colours to everyone

Best believe that I won’t be around to watch it unfold

You forced me into a situation I didn’t want to be in

Now I’ve finally made my decision

You are completely gone from my life

I take back all of my power and all of my light

How does it feel to be in the darkness of you?

Are you suffering like I did too?

My light was keeping you alive 

My beauty was something you wanted to call yours

“Another person’s name shouldn’t be on your mouth

Will you ever find someone else like me?!”

No, I don’t want someone like you

Someone who dwells in either self-loathing or their ego

Two very dangerous extremes

With your sharpest weapon of all time: your manipulation. 

So no, I don’t want someone like you

I will move on and live my best life

I will fall in love one day

This time, it wouldn’t be confusing or complicated, it will be the easiest thing I’d ever do.

But you will be just as you are

Self-hating and dwelling in your darkness 

You tell people you’re changing but,

You will never change, and that is the one truth I know.
