(This poem is one I wrote a long time ago on another app that forces its users to pay to write now, so I saw this prompt when I opened the app and thought it would be a great way to transfer this poem! It’s one of my favorite that I’ve written so I hope you enjoy!)

Life goes on, day after day,

But the way you treat others is far from okay.

Away on a whim, back again with no win,

This is not another story that I can spin.

I tried, I really did, just for you.

You killed my psyche with your mental coup:

Snuck into my brain to make me feel safe,

Only to put me in this eternal chafe.

I’m over with you, you did it yourself:

Took my kindness as a trophy atop your shelf.

No more days of being “the nice one,”

Where I would do nothing but run.

Have a nice life eternal,

Though I wish it’s infernal,

And from me, specifically,

C’est la vie!
