Surrounded by a darkened hue,
talk without reason or a clue,
your uttered words are hardly true,
raw chaos feels at home with you.
Erratic tones possess your voice,
portray a victim without choice,
killing the peace with your loud noise,
envying those with natural poise.
Wishing me bad, I wished you good,
you never knew I understood,
I tried to help, did what I could,
your mind was a block of dense wood.
So sad to see what you became,
a grown-up with no ounce of shame,
no one is left to play your games,
now only mirrors can be blamed.
I truly wish you change your ways,
sincerely hope you are okay,
so hurt inside, for you I pray,
that the sun melts despair away.
This life you live is what you choose,
the future may bring better shoes,
but if you choose to cause abuse,
you will soon find, that you will lose.
– Grace Y. Estevez-Reddy

Beautiful ❤️
Thanks so much, my friend .💕
You’re welcome 🙏

Very moving poem Grace. You show compassion for someone who wants to harm you.
Hurt people are usually the ones that hurt others. If I had no compassion then I would be bitter as well. Thanks so much, dear Sadje.💕
That’s very true. You’re most welcome
💕🙏💕
I could send this to like 5 people right now, but they wouldn’t get it is about them.
Funny but understandable. Glad you could relate.💕
Great message. We should spread love and benefits around the world❤💞
Thanks so much. Absolutely 💕

You are a caring person, Grace. You warm heart shines through in your poetry. Peace to you.

“your mind was a block of dense wood.” Brilliant Grace! 😂😛👏You certainly don’t pull any punches here! 👍 But there’s a tenderness in the poem too! ❤️
🤣🤣🤣 Needed to vent a little.💕
Has to be done Grace! 👍😛😂
I agree with Sadje’s comment, Grace. It reminds me of the classic song, “I bet you think this song is about you.” You can’t help a narcissist but it also hard to avoid getting trapped into their world of hurt. It sounds like your character had a good sense of self to be able to get free from a bad relationship.
Thanks so much, Marsha. Absolutely. 💕
Well-written, Grace. Some people are just impossible to live with.
Thanks so much. 💕🙏💕

What a beautiful poem, Grace…you’re standing on this ground with your own grounding, presence & compassion for others…even they want to hurt you…that’s the big difference between you & them…you are you…you know who you are✨💟💫

You’re welcome, dear Grace…it should be me thanking you for your profound sharings ✨❤️💫🙏
💕🙏💕
The pain in your words, you transformed into beauty….Talent, love, magic, thirst, combination, creation, you ‘ve done it all…I don’t know if you hope the d understand, you know, the one referred, or maybe an altered ego, who know, but I got a notion through your poem…and that notion, is now dancing through my mind and I thank you for that…
