Take That
Take That
Boom boom
Jab to the eye
Bam bam
Watch you cry
Sorry if I lied
Sorry I forgot to hide
But let’s be honest
I know you don’t try your hardest
You tell me to let it out
So don’t be surprised when I shout
Now you are scared and you want to call
Funny because I don’t remember that at all
Last night I said I might
Lose it all, that I’d fall
Where were you
What’d you do
Nothing
So what if it hurts
You are the worst
Tell me to zoom you?
Shove it up your
You little piece of trash
Sorry that was really mean
But I still feel unseen
So imma just keep going
Listen to these words I’m throwing
Why do you suddenly care
Why’d you shut up when I’m there
Why’d you hide your struggles
Man, you really fumbled
Lost the ball
Call a foul
Come back later
Still a hater
Sorry I was super rude
You’re going through somethin but I’ve got no clue
Snapped back
Cut the slack
Sorry for hurting you
I know it’s good to let it out
But the guilt I feel
Oh man it’s real
Friends should be there for one another
But friends shouldn’t hurt each other

Is it Different
Haven’t fought in years
Haven’t had friends make me shed tears
So does that mean this is wrong
Does this mean you should be gone
I thought we were meant for each other
But when around you, my emotions I try to smother
I lash out, I hurt you
I swear I never meant to
I am there by your side
I support you even though you may hide
So why do I lash out
Why do I fight
Why do I hate what I love
Why do I ruin what was given from above
I’m scared one day that it’ll be my fault
That one day I would have fought
I would have pushed you too far
I would have give you too many scars
I can’t imagine the damage I have done
It’s worse than being shot with a gun
The guilt I hold it’s burying me
I never meant to be
Such a jerk I know I’m the worst
I never meant to break you down
I’m gunna cry
For the first time
Because I don’t want to lose you
I know it’s no excuse to
But I push you away because I’m scared you’ll get close
I’m scared you’ll see and then you’ll leave
But I hurt you in the process and it’s not okay
I don’t know what to say
Please forgive me please don’t hurt
Jesus Christ, take away those words
Take away the sass
Lord give her back
I can’t live like that
And that’s a fact
About this poem
What happened when I was trying to hurt my friend and direct my anger at her. The second part is about my regret at what I’ve done.
