Chameleon


If someone cannot handle a situation in another's life,
It is simple....
Say it in the beginning!
It is very hurtful to support someone's situation,
then when something happens,
they blame that person, revolt and reject, 
with refusal to accept apologies, changing like a chameleon
Even when what happens is done by other people!
I have seen it before and it won't happen again
Lessons learned from pain may be the hardest,
but wisdom takes over and karma is real
          - God sees everything -

Whoa. The depth of your emotion emerges from every line. 'Upset' is too mild for what you felt, but 'wrath' is overstating it, methinks. I don't quite have that one word which nails it. Maybe you do. ~ Gershon
