Kelly Dahn Poet Dramatic Verse

My overrated Facade

These scars on my wrists that you just don’t see
This noose around my neck means nothing to me
It’s just the way my life is entrapped by your charm
Your centerpiece of loveliness, you see no harm

No fears, no care,s don’t worry about me
My overrated façade is all you’ll see.
Live your life- Live mine too
Damn! I hate being just like you

You talked of trust when you have none
You spoke love, I’ll “always be the one”
Where is your love now, as I drown in pain
Tears fall like rivers in this never-ending rain

No fears, no care,s don’t worry about me
My overrated façade is all you’ll see.
Live your life- Live mine too
Damn! I hate being just like you

As I waste away, you don’t hear my cry
Watch out, Boy- Soon I’ll just die
But I’ll be replaced by a new little trophy
And you won’t be sad,  you’ll just forget me

Unseeking Seeker May 15, 2025 at 8:13 AM Just in case this is not a fictional write .., Why cling to dead ends is what I’d say … shrug and yawn and just move on Kelly Dahn May 15, 2025 at 8:34 AM It is nonfiction. And sometimes the out is harder than anyone knows & safety of all concerned has to be of utmost consideration. Thanks for the comment :)
