Dumping Ground

Listen to poem:

Bringing your troubles; like I was your dumping ground Walked away with my life without as much as an amen No words spoken, until my happiness drowned Shadows diminishing, never to be seen again But I am now seeing through your corrupted soul As you now dance and skip along with my life It was your master plan, your only goal Leaving me with your ill gained strife So funny, you turning a blind eye when told Giving your lame excuses as to the why But I was never left blind to your bold Your laughter as you left me high and dry You are forgiven, but never are you as forgot As I’m now made to live your sorry sad life I wish you well with my life that you have now got Except all of my curses, and along with it all of my strife Because for you in my life there is no coming back So, go out, and enjoy my life whilst you can As I now cope with everything that you so lacked Wasting my time on everything you could not understand

This piece carries strong emotion and a sense of closure with consequences. The rhythm gives it a sharp, confrontational energy, making the pain feel real. Lines like "You are forgiven, but never are you as forgot" hit hard—there’s resolution, but the scars remain. The shift between reflection and defiance adds depth, and the final stanza leaves a lasting impact. Really powerful work! Thank you for sharing. Aarron
