Don't know you anymore
Who is this person I see
She's not who I remember
Willing, without empathy
to commit such atrocities
She, who worked tirelessly
to put others before she
But, it was a game, you see
In this life, nothing is free
Not even love
torn from one,
and given to another son
But, this son...is done
There was never a selfless act
Only ploys, with tact
My eyes are open wide
And mind filled with facts
Enough of these tricks and traps
I'm on the attack
Even if the attack,
means turning my back
She's not who I remember
Willing, without empathy
to commit such atrocities
She, who worked tirelessly
to put others before she
But, it was a game, you see
In this life, nothing is free
Not even love
torn from one,
and given to another son
But, this son...is done
There was never a selfless act
Only ploys, with tact
My eyes are open wide
And mind filled with facts
Enough of these tricks and traps
I'm on the attack
Even if the attack,
means turning my back

Hey Chaotic i loved the simplicity of this piece it packs a powerful punch. Sometimes the hardest part of life is ignoring what or who hurts us the most. By acknowledging the situation actually opens the door for change. I won't lie to you Chaotic, self reflection and actually putting yourself above all is the most hardest, bloodiest and sweatiest work you'll ever do but it is worth the work. I'm so proud of you, the hardest part is turning your back, good for you, in spirit I'm cheering you and your powerful self on. Much much love and mad respect,

I can't help but self reflect with reading this on my own life but I can't say I have played a game or ever tried to hurt someone but I can say I've given up fighting and started not to give a damn and started to be more selfish as opposed to the girl I used to be :/
Great write definitely prompted me to think more deeply and omg that last stanza! 👍🔥

Self-reflection and objective thinking can definitely open the doors for change.
