Reality

Dream came true
That’s what she thought
But it was stepping into the reality
That she didn’t know

Something around her was not right
Confusing and consuming her mind
She was called crazy and lame
Yet weird vibes spinning around

One day she finds out the truth
Love you, good night and sleep tight
Good morning love, my jaan
Then comes Lies, manipulation and gaslighting 

She gets slapped for finding out things
Jaan gets protected and secured
She gets apologies with roses and cake
Jaan gets midnight texts

She got painful marks
Jaan got romantic songs
Feelings and Emotions
Became questions

Beat up, slaps, neck chokes
Curses, filth, everything that hurts
Broken, shattered, devastated
Pain took over her life

Grief or Grateful?
She was confused again
Only escape of life was her lord
Only relief was her lord 

Manipulation took over trust
Abuse took over protection
Tears took over romance
Gratitude took over grieve

That’s how she is surviving
Collecting the broken pieces   
To glue and fix 
To become whole again

Accept the reality of the life
Pain, Joy, Happiness, Kindness revolving around
People manipulate, lie and cheat
God accepts, heals and mends
