Karen Sighting
Incapable of minding her business. Harassing others for being courteous. Showing lack of self-control. Her mom failed to teach: leave innocents alone. She targets vulnerable and smaller than her. Aloof, unaware of the harm she conjures. Unwelcome attention, how embarrassing. She neglects her family to focus on me. Reflected in her kids as she passes…

One-sided Love
Instead of love reciprocated, your heart was carelessly operated. For many years you overlooked the heinous pages of your book. Clutched tightly onto every word, excuses covered cruel behavior. Danger, duplicity, infidelity, stayed by their side, loyally. Disregarded many warning signs until life flashed before your eyes. You tried your best to sustain, but in…

False Friend
Your compliments were all pretend. You said that I was your best friend. You used me for your benefit. Pig-head attempt at dominance. Unmasked terrible thespian, you came for me over again. I won’t instigate but will begin to bring this battle to an end. Consider me your opponent. Legitimate, moral, genuine. I stand up…

Estranged
Would you recognize and acknowledge me? Would I be disappointing if you saw me today? Or, would you just walk away? Friends on social media, everyday strangers. Meaningless sharing, no sensing or caring. A world without listening, lost in social distancing. Would you appreciate me? At the same time, berate me? Unrecognized abuse the way…

Fractured Path
From nowhere and nothing with no help or guide,she stayed focused, encouraged, got into her stride.Exceeding the ladder she made for herselfwas never enough, she was placed on a shelf.Accomplished, she does not belong, nonetheless.Imposter syndrome caused her to regress.Often cast out, voiceless, and unseen.Somehow, she still felt it was destiny.She never wanted to get…

HOA Syndrome
Extra regulations, added layer of government. Stifled spirits from selective enforcement. Follow rules, walk the line, pay the requisite fee for stalking, harassment, and to be overseen. Challenging rights, dejecting individuality. Hollow benefits for the municipality. Built on oppression and discrimination. Touting an impact on value preservation. Perhaps more affluent, yet more segregated. Dishonorable management,…

Security
Invading our privacy, violating our rights.Stay away from our family with your criminal mind.Your monsters are there every step that you take.You would rather stare at ones you can’t shake.Bad energy you spread will make you submersedand haunt you instead. Your family: you cursed.Stop chasing control. Don’t stalk our movements.Examine your soul. Try for once,…

Burnout Phoenix
Running for cover, from darkness and doom.Barely recovering, running on fumes.You cannot escape, it’s draining your soul.No one can relate, you feel so alone.A vulnerable position, weakened and faint.Vultures take positions, you try hiding the pain.They breathe fire about those who care the most.Now your heart is empty, all you see is a ghost.Put on…
