i’m not afraid of you because i see through the tough act you put on, im not impressed by you because i know who you are when you think no one is around, i dont respect you because your kindness is limited to strangers whose validation you rely on, i don’t envy you because you possess a character and an attitude i don’t wish to carry i don’t understand you, and I’m grateful for that. It means my hands would never choose what yours did.

im not afraid of you
I tried to walk slowly. careful not to shake your ground, careful not wake you up, careful not to make a sound. No matter how light my footsteps were, No matter how soft I tried to exhale, you still found a way to make me eat my words, you made me think I'm toxic and insane. But now you said you cant be with me, I'm not worth fighting for, looking back I wished I stood my ground, when you said Creed is better than Faith no More. You said you dont want arguments, arguments that you like to bake from scratch, the main ingredient: your unfair judgments, on the way I talk, walk , breathe and act. You know your way with words, your tone so cool and calm, If only I'm deaf I'd think you weren't a **** until I heard you want me gone. Your words pierce like a blunt knife, painfully tearing through every flesh of my dignity, I am certain you weren't the person I loved, 'cause he said we'll be together for eternity. Now that it's all over, I know you wont even realize I'm gone, You said it won't make a difference to you if we end this now and be done. I will continuously fuel my anger, making sure I have enough embers of your mistreatments inside. I'll  burn and stop your memories from poisoning me, from flooding my soul , my heart, my mind.

Toxic
I have a heart made of gold  Shatters hurt to be strong I don't know what you've been told . I admit you misunderstood I never lose my frame to win the game I do cry , being hurt isn't a sham  Victory comes after for those who suffer the pain . I admit you misunderstood Saying my heart is cold  Didn't want it to be broke  Your words are fake  Even your hands seems hard to hold I admit I misunderstood You once said you're just a human  We all humans , we do sin Yet your lies cause pain  It becomes hard to hold your image next to mine anymore.  The brain became empty , sore  The heart saying no more I admit I misunderstood Take a set , enjoy the falling rain  you gonna meet me again  So be gentle not vain  By : R.El

misandry.
Am I upset? No, I don't think so. I think the best way to describe how I feel towards you right now is to buy a ******* useless vase, instead of adding it to the rest of your collection of useless stuff down in the basement, use it as a decoration, give it life and purpose and make a pretty flower grow in it, every now and then water it, clean the mess it makes, heck-- even take selfies with it. Next, I want you to unwillingly do the following: put this vase on an ad on Craig's list, give it for free to someone who is on the same continuum of uselessness. Done? ok, now go break that ******* vase. What? You can't? It's not yours anymore? How does THAT feel? Do you feel upset? Angry? Confused? No, you feel helpless. Well now you know how your friendship feels like and what your friendship means. Not cool. We aren't cool. Don't make me break you, it won't fix you into becoming someone I need.

How I really feel
It's not wanting to get out of bed on the morning It's not wanting to do anything that once made you happy It's caring about things that you shouldn't care about It's expecting too much from people who don't deserve it It's about pleasing others instead of yourself It's apologising for things you didn't do It's about putting others first And when you put yourself first, for once People have a lot to say Don't worry about what other people say Rather focus on yourself first then worry about the other people

Feeling empty
They say remove toxic people from your life, but what am I supposed to do with this toxic heart of mine?
