BY: LIZ HARDIE You are a con and a narcissist Gaining the trust of most people you meet Reading people, faking smiles and flaunting your charm, you felt like quite the catch Knowing what to say at the right time, words so sweet Those damn words, almost all of them stories and lies A con and I fell hard, fell in love with you Falling for the hurt I heard in your voice and saw…
By: Liz Hardie Victim mentality is a trait in those who believe they have no control due to harmful actions of others They believe that bad things will always happen, their actions had nothing to do with it, even with evidence These individuals will see bad in the good, carry grudges, never forgive, refuse to “move on” A mentality that at times may feel powerless yet they can be very manipulative, some have a narcissistic…
BY: LIZ HARDIE As a child you never thought anything of the lies you told They rolled right off of your tongue as if they were the truth, although they were not Those small lies you told growing up seemed like nothing to you The more lies you told, the easier it became, validation is all you sought You never thought about or cared about the people you hurt Only wanting to make yourself look…
BY: LIZ HARDIE Head games played by others can either make you or break you It is your choice, your decision on how you want to follow through Do you let them hurt you and break you down emotionally Or do you rise above the games, hurtful words and just be who you are meant to be For years I chose to be manipulated and controlled, head games other played consumed my mind Letting others…
BY: LIZ HARDIE Do you know what it’s like to be walking along, minding my business, and you get smacked in the face with a smell of your past, of pure evil? For many, this smell, a popular men’s cologne, may be wonderful, awakening their senses and bringing up great thoughts, maybe even excitement and joy. But for me it terrorizes me and takes me back to a time that I have tried to forget,…
BY: LIZ HARDIE Confusion, each day you look at yourself That is all you see Why are you here, are you pretty enough Are you fun to be around, why the dull personality Constant confusion in your head Are the new meds working, do you even need them Everyone keeps saying you do, you guess you agree Sadness consumes you, around others you force a smile or a grin Confusion, thinner, chubbier, thinner, chubbier, is…
BY: LIZ HARDIE We have all heard the saying “You must forgive and forget”, but yet you still find it hard to let go of any grudges and bitterness For years you have despised and you did not want to forgive the many people who have hurt, lied, cheated, or mistreated you How can you forgive someone who has never actually apologized or asked for forgiveness Realizing that you had true strength when you could…
By: Liz Hardie Admit it, you usually call me the “mean one” The one who supposedly breaks hearts Believe me, it was not so easy for me to run Decisions were not made by throwing darts The pain I have been put through is not right Abuse not many can truly understand I was able to stay, learning to deal with the fight The relationships I did leave, were never planned Alcohol or a hobby,…
By: LIZ HARDIE When reading fairy tales to a small child, you will always see a smile on their face Children then believe fairy tales will happen but for me it wasn’t the case I did at one time dream of finding that Prince who would sweep me off my feet But unlike in the fairy tales the bad guy was never so easy to spot when you’d first meet Sexual assaults turned my fairy…
By: Liz Hardie As children we ask, “Are there monsters among us; monster under my bed?” The answer was, “No” and I was never told, “Beware of who you fall in love with.” Monsters are described as ugly and frightening Those you fall in love with can be both, monsters are not a myth They are humans, dressed in normal clothes A beautiful person with a kind, heart, as gentle as a lamb Full attention…
