How Your Lies Hurt

How your lies hurt
Powerless to block them
They beat on me
Tear at my soul

You expect me to move on?
Day after day I suffer
While you only grow strong
Am I your slave?
…….
I refuse to be beaten!
This hatred does not stop me
Your anger reflects
Your own fears within!

Today I stand
Facing down my demons
Today I stand
I am my own man!

Yo Elemental Warrior,

I like what you have to say here, and the way you say it.

Lies never do anyone any good at all.  They only lead to trouble.

Strength to you. It's always best to stand on your own feet. Besides, you never know where the other person's feet will end up.

Lies are the ultimate betrayal, and snowball.

Like the worst can of worms that you can't put a lid on.

Being honest with ourselves is rewarding in itself, we reap what we sow.

Best to you~

You wrote an anthem for independence and strengh.  I want to stand up and cheer.  Good writing and I hope others read this who may be struggling in relationships that are not right for them.
