Don'T Tread On Me

So, you think that you're really tough.

Then, why did you cry when I called your bluff?

You nag & scream when you don't get your way.

Your fake tears & whining are part of a game that you play.

You have no right to look down on me.

You're far from perfect & full of vanity.

You use grifter tactics to isolate my son.

Your lies will turn him against everyone.

My tears will be yours when he gets off of the drugs.

Then, you'll be left with all of the junkies,crack-heads & thugs.

You're trying to possess Zachary's soul.

You won't be happy until you have complete control.

May you suffer for every lie you've told.

May Karma return my pain to you tenfold.

I don't like being called a  or a whore.

That's what triggered my anger & sent you out the door.

The feelings leap off the page. That is what good poetry is, Wendy. Third line from the bottom is a bit unclear to me. You may want to edit, I think a word got loose.
