I am comfortable to say this out loud,
Because you know who I am talking about

Some people are users.
And abusers.

They are phony
And full of baloney.

They may be family or call themselves a friend
But nothing they say is meant.

It is hard to believe
But they cause you nothing but grieve.

They cause you to feel paralyzed
And demoralized.

Only if you do not mind tears.
Can you keep them around for years.

But it would be a better thing.
To cut the string.

To be your own savior.
And recognize their behavior.

Because there is nothing to gain
By being unnecessary in pain.

No matter what you do
They are jealous of you.

They get their kick
By making you sick

No need to offend
but your time with someone else is better spent
