Labeled The Nice Girl #Poetry #Poem #ASMSG

.

I woke up and thought

“I hate being the nice girl”

My niceties make me want to hurl
Forgive

Forget

Frail

Fail

I exhaled

How many times do I say it’s OK?

Tell the dickheads to have a nice day?
Kill’em with kindness it’s how I was raised

Except I’m afraid I’m done with that maze
I’m tired of always being the bigger ‘man’

I’m thinking shit’s about to hit the fan
I hate feeling like I’ve been used

That my niceties are being abused

Don’t take me for granted

Damn it!

Who am I trying to fool?

I’ll continue to be the pack mule
I put on my mask…

Why you ask?
Because…
Nice girl blood runs through my veins

And I’m a true glutton for pain
So…
Nice girl will always be my trait…

I hate

You should be ashamed #Poetry #BrokenHeart #ASMSG

I could live in luxury

I could live like the poor

As long as you were there,

I never needed more

.

I tried to give you everything

I tried opening up my heart

Once you saw me raw and real

You were ready to depart

.

I told you I was a mess,

I told you my crazy had spoken

I told you I don’t come with a token…

Operation manual

.

Somehow I became the enemy of your universe

Everything I said was answered with a curse…

Of my existence

 .

I want to crawl back under the rock from which I came

My heart will never be the same

You are to blame…

And you should be ashamed
