Written July 18 2026 for contest Mend the Fences or Burn the Bridges sponsor Margarita Lillico
Mend white fences until you see Harm in lies neglect denim deceit As one crying wolf in dark night surprise Is beast in sheep clothing evil disguise I tend to lend empathetic emerald ear Until there’s a reason for caution fear Narcissistic people cause much pain Drop them they’re toxic as acid rain Then burn those bridges fire red Don’t forget they get in your head With twisted hearts and black greed Don’t be a victim instead break free
