::Smelling the Ugly Side of You::

::Smelling the Ugly Side of You::

I've seen the ugly side of you
I can still smell the foulness
Everyone cringes just a bit
Yes you feel it cause it's true.

Try to be the good you claim to be
Going as far as repeating yourself verbally
never learned that actions are louder than words
You are naturally loud but you are barely heard

You don't care, because you're only living for you
Sad you already accept that you're going to die alone.
So you say you never lied
but honestly have you always been truthful?

You'd love to believe that you're always right
That the number of years you've lived is enough justification
The respect you always want - the acknowledgment you crave
Will never be truly granted because you're too busy knowing it all

I've seen the ugly side of you
It's a shame that the negatives overpowers the good.
Thanks for contributing a different chapter in my story.
I'm ready to move on and I know you are as well.

"Going as far as repeating yourself verbally

...I like these lines. They flow really well and the messege just is.

"Sad you already accept that you're going to die alone."

....yeah, just yeah. Lovin' this line.

There are a few lines that really resonate here, but overall, I'm not sure what I think. I'm so glad to see you posting/writing again. I really like the idea of "the ugly side" of someone. We all have one. Some just hide it better than others. And the idea of contributing chapters in each other's stories....adoring it.

thanks for reading Tabatha and for the comments - yeah this is something that I wrote about someone I know who I let into my life and because I didn't want to get involved with him he turned around and long story short we're not even friends any more. I know that everyone has their weak points and things about their personality that needs improvement...but if you're the type to not even attempt to listen and change there's really nothing anyone can do for you.
