Them Not Me
They tactically play it out,
So you're left feeling the shame,
Then they act the victim,
Making out as you're to blame.
Setting you up to fail,
Using mind games as their tool,
For it to appear to others,
Like you're just a crazy fool.
Eating away at your happiness,
Replacing your smiles with a frown,
Being as nasty as possible,
In order to drag you down.
Drip feeding you their poison,
Manipulating reality hoping you don't see,
Dreading the day you realise,
The problem is, them not me.
