BY: LIZ HARDIE For many years my life was controlled by others, to question myself and allow everyone to walk all over me Fighting was a normal part of my day, add alcohol into loved ones, I would just shut down I began to believe that this was my normal, hide my real feelings to avoid drama and more fights When I finally leave the unhealthy relationships that were controlling me, others are seen and…

BY: LIZ HARDIE Disappear and reappear, in and out of her life, you continue to go How on Earth with these actions do you expect her love for you to grow When she needed you most you were never there Making her feel like you truly did not care You had other plans or your work was always top excuse When in town she had to deal with your different girlfriends, their mental and physical…
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 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,…
