These lies hurt,

Started by you out of jealousy.

You’re not happy with yourself,

So you have to make someone else’s life miserable.

You don’t care many hearts you destroy,

Because it’s for you your personal gain.

You bash us into the rocks,

And we never recover from our permanent bruises.

You squeeze and crush us inside.

You cut into the deep wounds that are already there.

You whisper and spread the deceit,

And fan the flame.

I'm covering my ears,

Because I don't want to hear the rest.

I won't.

Everyone is an obstacle in your path,

Unimportant, and they are taken down by your hate.

To be accepted by the people you once hated most,

You will do anything.

You will stab your best friend’s back,

You will disregard innocents,

You pretend you have never known them.

We beg you to stop,

Before it goes too far,

It will be the end of us.

You want to be on top,

So everyone else is pushed aside.

Attention is all you crave,

All you care about is victory through your demonic ways.

We sit here in the halls,

And breathe in the dust of defeat from your cruel lies.

Wrongly accused,

Waiting for your next attack.

We stand together,

United under the cause that we might be able to stop you,

We will not be hurt again.

Your reign of lies ends now.

It all started with jealousy,

And it started our pain.

You became powerful through the gossip,

We were weak under your blows.

We are one in the suffering.

You don’t care,

You are too busy laughing with the people you call friends,

Because you listened to their twisted words,

And thought it was the truth.

They turned you against us,

But you made the choice to follow them.

You’ve gone too far down their path to come back.

I’ve lost you to them.

We are suffocating, and choking on this hopelessness.

They will only stay as long you listen to them,

And the popularity lasts.

You will cut us down again to take back something you never had,

And bring on a new wave of pain,

Just to get your moment of glory,

To bring back the ones that started our downfall,

And made you a power-hungry demon.

All because of jealousy.

I’m happy the way I am,

Why can’t you be?

I crave nothing of yours,

Yet you steal my happiness from me.

You kick me aside when you want to,

And you use me.

I can’t break free of the hold you have on my secrets.

My life has become a black hole in your hands.

You cut my life into pieces with your own hands.

The betrayal is endless,

And yet you expect “sorry” will take back all the hurt you’ve caused me.

You’ve gone too far this time.

Do you hear me?

I'm tired of being a victim.

I'm through being held down,

While you suck the life out of us.

This is something my generation needs to hear and listen to! lol
I hope it ends too. : /
I live in it as the victim every day. :[
I love the lines "I’m happy the way I am,
Why can’t you be?
I crave nothing of yours,
Yet you steal my happiness from me."
You are amazing; capturing all these extremely angry emotions and making them beautiful. :]

I had a hard time with this, because it's hard to put so much emotion into a simple poem, so I'm glad you liked it Tally. =)

I've been through something like this before, so many times. I hope you never have been. It's the worse feeling in the world knowing your friend has turned against you, and had only been using you. You did a wonderful job putting emotion into this poem, and I could realy feel the pain. great job! =D
