Vice Versa

Idioms that quite familiar;
Every Cloud has a Silver Lining
I do believe in that
even though
I had to experience the bitterness
for a while, I don’t mind.

Surely,
an element of bitterness
was now injected
into every single struggle
back then
with a slightest expectation,
that I will be more resilient.

Slander.
Betrayal.
I have been there.
I’ve gotta say, it was devastating.

However,
it takes two to tango
I can’t just blame ‘that person’
for wrecking my existence
it was my fault as well
as making ‘that person’
be part of my life.

Aligning the vulnerable thoughts
was never easy
spent countless moments
with a self-perpetuating struggle
it’s tough, tho
we’re all human, after all.

Kudos to u!
who easily sealed the chapter
without the slightest feeling of guilt
congrats, you’ve outdone yourself
behind a creature facade of an erudite
lies a stunning hypocrisy,
where the vice versa of kindness
conceals a darker reality,

and it was only a matter of time
before the mourn disaster comes your way.
/in jest.

embrace the struggle;
hope you heal
from the things,
that no one
has ever apologized for.
