The Better Person.

Bitterness,
That's what drove you.
For someone who stated they would be happy for me,
You let your hatred fuel you.
Unable to stand the truth,
You result to statements that ensure me hate.
Your acquaintances will surely enjoy that,
I never expected that the list of individuals which thrive on hatred would include you...
But it's certainly something I've dealt with before.
I refuse to argue,
I refuse to play this game of tennis,
The ball is on my court,
And I'd rather leave it be.
You stoop to insults,
Breathing spiteful flames,
I hadn't expected such a venomous verse,
From someone I invested in.
Preaching of true colours,
You showed me yours,
And how laughable it is when I see the sheer hypocrisy in everything you yell.
I listened to my mother,
And I'm glad I did,
For she has my best interest at heart,
A friend for life,
And that is what a TRUE parent is like.
And I won't apologise for having parents who support me,
It's better than the unsteady bridge you have with your own.
But of course you clearly think otherwise,
With the words you spray,
And I can proudly say 'I suppose that's your opinion'.

Though the opinion you love to share with the world is both bias and degrading.

If turning a 'new page' is delivering digs on every piece of social media,
Please continue.
Embed your bullet further,
Not like it matters,
Because you can't possibly push me away any further than you have.
This isn't even a fight,
So what is your issue?
If you were happy,
You'd have left me be,
Kept the smile,
But instead you twisted your knife any way possible.
And you still continue.

Yes I am whole-heartedly happy,
And yes it is genuine.
I needn't explain myself,
And I will end this here.
Thank you for your certification,
You made it clear,
Staring you in the face that day,
And such a different face it was,
gave me the courage to officially cut the final piece of string.

Yes,
You had chances,
And yet you deny that.
For someone who values truth,
You didn't enjoy listening to it,
So practice what you preach.
I never changed,
I am myself,
Don't appreciate that?
Maybe you weren't equipped to handle me in the first place.

Goodbye to you,
I'm sure this wasn't what you were expecting,
No 'I miss you',
Because that just wouldn't be true.
You have struck,
Delivered collateral damage,
In such a short time space and I'm sure that's a new record.
I'm glad such spiteful hatred does not dictate me anymore,
Trying to warp my image to gain your sympathy points.
How could I possibly miss someone so horrible!

Out of every individual who did me wrong,
Right now you've surely topped the rest,
Wanting me to 'have a bad time',
I've never read anything so pathetic.
I am in a good place,
And that's exactly what you can't stand,
So yes,
Go back to your friends,
The ones whom you never bothered with until now.
I will not stoop to your level,
Because we both know I am the better person in this equation,
Something you will NEVER be,
And I have absolutely no sympathy.

I am not a hateful person, but these past few weeks have showed me just how much people can change. This was a poem to release any negativity, and from now on, my other pieces of writing will be nothing but sweet :) apologies, but I think I needed this stress reliever.
