Drowning In Deceit
Co-Dependency Poem Inverse
By DaphsamPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Honestly,
I am fed up with it all,
There is nothing more to say.
You are a drunk,
You lie,
You cheat,
You embarrass me and mine.
You never think your wrong.
Yet, I am to turn the other cheek.
Quietly watch you drink?
Now you want what?
My forgiveness, again and again,
It has to stop!

I like how the poem goes from being fed up to pure frustration and anger, and the full stops in the middle give this sense of bluntness. Nicely done!
The length is perfect. The changed perspective and tone are flawless!
Well done!
Very powerful! Good job.
Oooo, you executed this brilliantly! It's so powerful top to bottom and vice versa!
Well done! These are hard, I haven't finished one yet!
Nice
Excellent take on the subject
Powerful words. Your passion and anger maybe even hope shine through.
It works! But "you embarrasses"? A typo or a deliberate choice?
