Manipulation Poems - Poems about Manipulation

The choices we never got to make

A life of false happiness 
Or death by defiance
They claim we have a choice
But what kind of choice is a life of imprisonment or a death penalty
An eternal life of isolation 
Or an eternity of nothingness 

With choices like that who needs control
Or to be caged by manipulation
For us the ideal choice 
Would be death
To

Thinking how you even aloud yourself to allow others to dictate your mind.... MANIPULATION....

Fumbling Sheep

I'm a really hungry wolf
One that’s never satiated.
Your heart isn't enough
I need your whole arm off

I'm a truly gentle wolf,
Feeding on your bounty.
Maybe flesh is all I need
Not the tears you cry with doubt

What a lucky sheep you are,
Well-fed, with plenty of wool
Yet your eyes are full of fear,
Fumbling blindly in the dark.

"I mean no

Professional Gas Lighters

they stand at the bar
tipping poison into their own drinks
smiling like devils with cherry lipstick—
their eyes cold and wet,
like alley cats wet from the rain.

they love to tell you
you’ve misunderstood the truth
you’ve got it all wrong—
your shadow’s on the wrong side
of the street.

they hold up a mirror—
you see yourself cracking
like cheap glass—
they grin,
one step back
one

Lignified Soul

You found me nearly hollowed out.
A bag of bones upon the ground
My soul retreats into my pith
But not before you catch a glimpse
My soul hides within my core
For the light it had, it has no more

Your fingers and eyes begin to comb
Through the mess of flesh
Incaged in bone
You looked me over and sat me up
Then

Psychological Manipulation

Subtle strings are pulled,
Truth distorts, free will erodes,
Trapped in their design.

Tripwire

She had been indoctrinated to believe her country was free
But she hit the tripwires, had nowhere to flee
She learned the hard way that what she'd been taught
were lies from a regime that couldn't be fought.

His country was designed free, the constitution shows
But there are some paths where nobody goes
There is organized crime, and ideologues on

Painted black and blue

You stripped me from my innocence.

painted me black and blue you'd tell me that you loved me but honestly it wasn't true.

You told me I was beautiful and that no one else compared.

Expect for the entire naiborhood who would have stopped and stared.

 you told me not to tell anyone and even if I dared

Stolen Dreams - Not Unwell

In your eyes a spark still survives
A place where your dreams flies
With your hand, mind and heart
Created a sweet that was art

One fateful day you questioned the books
To find honey mouthed partner a crook
The trust your partner did swear to abide
Was stealing your dreams, a grin did hide

Heart heavy with sorrow, your trust torn apart
The

Blinded

• The pitch black sky shines brighter than you
• I don't know why I stayed
• All this time I thought you cared
• I was too blinded to see I've been played

Fish Bowl

Trapped in a bowl to live
On display to be picked apart
Every move watched and discussed
Judged by their own reflection in the mirror

Disconnect from the mind hive
Ignoring and avoiding a good start
Their word farts making me disgusted
The way of their thinking is sheer horror

Trapped in this bowl their vice
Control and manipulation impart
The are trapped in what

Premium MemberWhat Is A Narcissist

One moment they’re perfect,
The next they turn their backs
When you start lining up 
All the red flags.
When they start 
it will be like a dream,
Thinking its good when 
Their intentions turn mean. 
You won’t see the truth about who they really are.
You’ll keep up the excuses
For why they are the lowest bar. 
They have no

The Art of Manipulation

{"I poisoned myself, thinking about you nonstop, it was annihilating me on the inside, even the melancholy sounds of the river streams that intonate into droplets, do not convey to me the ultimatum of serenity anymore.
Your presence was sufficient to morph me into someone I’m certainly not. 
I cut my eyes to the mirror and

Held Together, Falling Apart

I am filled with rage and frustration. I’m doing my best, pushing forward with everything I have, yet I feel forced to halt my own progress. In a tempestuous fury, I question you.

I lead, I strive, and every step feels like a battle with you. You have it easy, assuming I’ll shoulder everything while you

Premium MemberTrip Wire

I have a story to tell
Where survival and pain
Literally broke the veil. 
It took years to see
The truth of my abuse
And the memories of my hurt
Has given me my muse. 
I fell into men that craved control.
I knew one day I would get rest
For my weary soul. 
Physical pain was a common norm
And my abusers
