The Truth of You – Written December 2009 (Aged 34)

The Truth of You

people do not know the truth of you
how you bully and push
how you seem to blame
and how you somehow suggest
people do not know the truth of you
how truth is something,
you clumsily try to vault
how you blame me for things
that were never my fault
the dark side to your obsession
you take the approval,
in comments and what you write
as if it’s law,
and when it comes to fantasy
you are its willing whore
people do not know the truth of you
they have not lived with your jibes
the way you bully and oppress
the pain of your inside,
the unresolved mental mess
the way you use a verbal flick knife
whilst claiming to care
people do not know the truth of you
they have not suffered your hurt
the hurt which you deny,
they have not felt venom
the stings and leaves eyes so swollen
they do not know the truth of you




James Garratt – December 2009
