Trusted him,

Her, and them

They all turned

Out to be

Jerks..

Wish like heck

With all my heart

I could say I was

Coerced..

Nope..

Just hope

And faith

That dispersed

Unjust trust

In reverse

But for some reason

It never seems

That way

At first..

Taking lies

At face value

They sound sweet

Like an idyllic verse

Little had I known

They’d had

Ample time

To rehearse

Wanting honesty,

Desiring love;

Like an unquenchable

Thirst

So heinous

That I kept

Hope alive

Something

Dead inside

Could find

Rebirth

Immersed

In fairy tales  

It never fails

It will hurt

Tried to fill

An empty space

With emptiness

Because the label read,

“Insert

Here..” And all the

Fear

Convinced me

To ignore

Red alerts

Like filling

Your tummy

Full with snacks

Pies and desserts

Just cause someone

Said it tasted good..

Now you feel

Like you could

Burst

But..

How could

Delectable delights

Have an effect that’s

Adverse?

First,

Thought blissful

Ignorance was

Healthy..

So, why I still need a

Nurse?

I’m dumb

With love

Done tried

So hard..

Can’t make that

Shit

Work

Some opinions say

“She’s cursed,”

While others think

I’m well-versed

“Well, at least she learned.”

They say,

They’re right.

I’m solid as

Earth..

Rock bottom might

Seem irreversible

But it certainly has

Perks

In all of that

Adversity

My growth hit

A spurt

Learning to swim

Might feel like

Drowning..

But it could always

Be

Worse.
