What I Never Said

For The Vocal "I Didn’t Say That Out Loud" Challenge

Introduction

Sometimes I have felt that I need to shout back at callout people who hurt me and do me harm, but unfortunately, I know that always bounces back on me. So these are words that have been said to me and my responses in a poem.

This is a non-rhyming sonnet

Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street" is perfect for this, and Bob says it far better than I can.

What I Never Said

πŸ˜‘πŸ–€βŒβ˜ οΈβŒπŸ–€πŸ˜‘

You Called Me An Abuser

When You Know That's What You Are

You Said That I Hurt Women

That's Your Speciality

❌☠️❌

You Are A Spreader Of Lies

You're A Bully And A Cheat

And A Narcissistic Creep

Never Again Will We Speak

❌☠️❌

Yes, You Crossed So Many Lines

You'll Never Be Forgiven

I Want You To Fade Away

Be Forever Forgotten

❌☠️❌

I Helped When You Were In Need

This Is What You Did To Me

πŸ˜‘πŸ–€βŒβ˜ οΈβŒπŸ–€πŸ˜‘

    Sounds like we know some of the same narcissists. So much of this is mirrored in the ones I've met.

    Ooh this is powerful! And Positively 4th Street is the perfect song for it! There are people out there who are horrid and just don't deserve the time of day. You have done so much to overcome them x This is brilliant! Great writing mate x

  • Wow! So much emotion in such few words...if I were to pick a winner it would be yours. I wasn't sure I could submit to this challenge but now you have inspired me 😊
