I See Right Through You

I see right through you The epitome of a bully a fraud A lowly parasite and loser You could have been somebody You had it all till you went sideways Deciding to bully your way through life How long have you been delusional I see right through you And it’s not a pretty sight My disgust is like a mirror to your face How you sheepishly resent that I’m immune to your fake charm I’ll tolerate you because I must And try as I can to hold my tongue AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Posted on December 18, 2018

I think that for some people, their behavior is simply needing attention or defensiveness; it always come out when you push it down too long. Well done.

Bullies need to be taught a lesson... Karma is often a little too slow.

LOL I have rarely lashed out at anyone. I am always fearful of regretting - there are things you can't PRETEND never happened. So people around me can have their bursts or "idiosyncrasies" but I don't allow myself to react to them or have them myself... It's not fair because I would like to throw temper tantrums sometimes too!

I am so hoping this is not a real person; if it is, I am so glad you can SEE them for who and what they are. But truthfully, I think we have all been there. I am always listening to third grade girls crying because they were told by a FRIEND? that they cannot have other friends. WHAT? How ridiculous right, and yet, as grown ups, some are still doing this junk.

O Jan, it's hard to simply ignore negative people but I find focusing on all the good people in our life to be effective. Thanks for your visit.

Very dramatic and I'm trying to recall when I've felt this way, know I have but was it just at Hitler, slavery, Romans and other atrocities or at people in my life? Can't nail it down, but, again, I know those thoughts you dynamically penned. Enjoyed the thought provoking ... CayCay

Dear CayCay, if you have managed to file away these thoughts please leave them buried or tucked away far from your conscious mind. Congratulate yourself!
