Sunset
You made me rise the other day.
Listening to all the lies.
Man, I got better things to do
than listen to you.
Wanted to scream like a jet
but instead I'll fade out like
golden sunset.
I won't be dragged through
the mud again.
Got bloody nails dragging myself out.
This time it's crystal clear
what you're all about.
When you were hanging with
a snake. I knew then.
Didn't have to count to ten.
All the misspoken words
taken out of context.
Exaggerated emotions
were used like swords
trying to cut me down.
I feel like you should have
known I'm a viper myself.
But, nah, I'll save my bite
for someone else.
Time to shed all of my muddy skin
and move somewhere new.
Cause friendships come
and go.
So no.
I won't scream like a jet,
Instead I'll fade out like an
everlasting sunset.
Where I will continue to glow
even from millions of miles away.

Author's Note
I had a friend a few years ago who always liked to take small jabs at me when we would group text with other friends. It got old. So I started taking bigger jabs back. I am a writer and its kinda what I do. It turned into this vortex of negativity. So I just quit engaging and wrote this instead. We no longer talk and I'm a better writer for it. Keep positive people in your life and let go of the negative. I promise in the end it will make you stronger.

Is it too late for me to go have a talk with them for ya? Grrrrr. You get me, you get a dragon baby! Lol.
Ya know they were most likely envious of your personality, and how others automatically like you. Obviously you're a very pretty woman. But you're also quite well rounded with how you handle yourself and others. The light finds you.
So they were probably tired of their own dark outlook and tried to rob some of your light. It's what weak people do.
Yet, they weren't worthy.
Hey, you are awesome and I love you and and stuff!

OMG!!
This is an old one I posted so long ago!! hahaha
It was a quick vent write. I'm over it now.
Long story short her boyfriend was an asshole. He'd demean her in a group setting and she just sat there. I don't know - I should have minded my business, but she was too nice so I would try and comfort her all the time.
When I decided to give her some friendly advice, which she asked for, I told her to dump him. She got all upset afterwards and told me they would work it out. I was like - okay.
Next day - no shit - he dumped her!
Then the little digs came when we'd group text with a couple of other friends. I let it go the first time - then the last time I said something catty back and off the rails I went. LOL
It felt good for a moment (ok I'm smiling about it right now) but then I kind of felt bad cause it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'm not perfect but it was a lesson learned.
Geesh - you got me all riled-up thinking about it!
hahaha.
