Time for change...

You don’t see me You only see my surface Should you deign to glance upon it You don’t know me To you, I am a marionette To do your bidding as you pull my strings You don’t value me My loyalty goes unheeded Whilst you tend your selfish desires You don’t favour me To you, I am second best A deviant to your lofty ideals You don’t cherish me You use misery and sorrow To bully my tattered heart You don’t love me Your cruelty knows no bounds You find too much pleasure in my pain You don’t need me I am sorry for them but There are others you can torment.

sometimes, passing our pain along to others seems to make ours more tolerable ...

So sadly, far too many now seem to find pleasure in another's pain today.

Ruan,
For those who have felt this type of violation, you give vent to their built up pain in this well versed work.

Thought in rendering emotional pain and torment
guides your pen in this sadness. Well done Ruan.

Oh my! This rings of violation. What odds produced such words, I know them. It takes one having been a 'marionette' to see one who has been a 'marionette' and appreciate first-hand, these ills. Thank you. ~~ Diana

For the narcissist only cares for them-self and has no concern for another. If you have experienced this, it would be very painful.

Sad, and familiar refrain, Ruan, and if this is a "truism," I am sorry for it, but happy you are bequeathing the pain and sorrow to someone else.

New Poetry by Ruan Mills

Observing lives

The Watcher

What if, such people appear in life as a revelation to things we can''t see? <br>...food for thought

An 'Alternative Perspective'

One's Best Ally.

When Nature summons there is always magic.

Moon Calling

<br>When Nature blows its own trumpet, it cannot be ignored.

The Gathering of Joy

Only the Good Souls

Let heaven and nature sing

It's all a question of balance.

{speaks for itself} <br> <br>The words in the image are mine too.
