Stop – Poem of the Month – September 2021

Stop

Stop talking over my voice
I cannot be heard
 
Stop ignoring me 
When I speak
 
Stop repeating yourself
Over and over again
 
Stop complaining
About things long gone
 
Stop disrespecting
People who have done you no harm
 
Stop holding grudges
That will never leave your grasp
 
Stop sabotaging events
Because you see others happy
 
Stop destroying every relationship
You ever had
 
Stop expelling
People from your life
 
Stop feeding on the poison
Hoping the other person will die
 
Stop being a bastard
You weren’t born that way
 
Just stop

  2. ‘Stop feeding on the poison
    Hoping the other person will die

    Stop being a bastard
    You weren’t born that way’

    • This really resonates, Christine. Why do we insist on making emotional poison? I sometimes need to tell these words to myself.

  3. Something’s got to give, if not all of it to be fair. Yes, Christine, we are given every opportunity to be nice and forgiving. A strong write but it is pushing to make good. Great!
