I will not smash your car up
although the thought did once occur
I will not post the truth
on socials and then block you.
I will not give you fuel for "she's crazy, her".
.
I will take a writer's revenge;
I will make you into poetry.
I will cut you up and twist you
and make you into only words;
this is what you have done to me.
.
I will write about a nameless you
and all his filthy little lies.
I will put down all the hurt;
all my wounds and bruises
inflicted by your lying eyes.

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

Don't piss off a writer! 😁
Congratulations on your top story.
Congrats on TS!!🎉
Amazing poem! Congrats on TS <3
Oh, yes. Long before social media, wounded women would take crowbars to men's beloved vehicles. What a shame those days are gone!
Haven't we all been there? YES! Your poem is wonderfully cathartic, and it makes me hope the protagonist moves on and doesn't dwell on the bad ones. Lots of frogs before the prince!!!
Excellent Top Story! Cathartic… with good writing coming out of the bad experience.
Well, its ok. I enjoyed it. When I saw the car smashing from the beginning I was expecting a different turn than the one I had. GOod any way.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Your poetry resonates with raw honesty and a profound sense of self-expression. Through your words, you reclaim your narrative and refuse to be defined by the hurt inflicted upon you. It's evident that you've found solace and catharsis in the act of writing, transforming your pain into something beautiful and empowering. Your resilience shines through as you choose to rise above the darkness, turning adversity into art and finding strength in vulnerability. Keep writing, keep healing, and keep sharing your truth with the world.
Damn good vengeance dear!!

I like this Poem. I think my friend might relate to it.
The best revenge ever! The kind that heals the wounded soul and reduces the liar's power
heart touching
Great piece and premise! Loved “I will take a writer's revenge; I will make you into poetry.”
Preserved in words. The best way to deal with it.
Hahahahahhahahahahha that's EXACTLYYYYYYY what I did when my ex left me. I wrote him into 2 stories and a poem!
Taylor Swift on Vocal, huh? Loved your poem, go for it!
This poem is a poignant exploration of healing through creativity and self-expression. It's a reminder that even in the face of betrayal and heartache, there is strength in turning pain into poetry.
Hope you’re okay!! Screw whoever this is about 😭♥️
