Where Did Your Gentleness Go

Your are being so obnoxious
With an attitude that's very toxic
Affecting everyone you meet 
Someone needs to really beat
This terribleness out of you
Before it is stuck like glue
Sticking to your soul and mind
Dig down deep and you will find
A gentleness that you forgot
While your acting like a butt
With every minute you infuse
Someone's heart with saddened blues
Because you think it's alright
Lashing out from a tall height
That darkens the days of those
Who used to be really close
Till you turned around and slid
Down a slope flipping your lid
And everyone is asking why
Day by day they try and try
To reach inside and pull out
What you used to be about
A miracle needs to appear
So they can fix and repair
What made you so mean and bitter
Somewhere there's a spark of flicker
That once used to be ignited
Everyone would be excited
If that torch would light again
Bringing back their sweet kind friend

I feel like this was me, 15 years ago! I was so obnoxious when I was a teenager, and my Mom wondered what happened to my personality. Eventually, I woke up and my normal self returned. I think poetry is what saved me! A very positive message you wrote about here, Robin! Well done!
