People come and people go
For how long
Will we endure
The pain of feeling abandoned
By people who claim
To be
Something called
Extraordinary ?
By people who claim
To love you
To know you
By people who claim
To fathom
Your deepest thoughts
Your qualms and fears
By people who claim
To be by your side
'Til they die
With no exception
They will fight
At war with you
Every single night
By people who make
Promises
They can not keep
Or do not even conceive.
I'm always surrounded by an imbecile
Who can not see
Beyond the trees
And can not even understand the difference
Between love and ill will
In reality they only
stop me from seeing
The truth
How they would sacrifice me
On the altar of their whim
To add some importance
In their misery's army
That's why I'm always running
To escape from their evil eyes
Save myself from their
psychotic deranged mind
Yet they still somehow inflame
My qualms and fears
And they pilfer
What's left
Of my ill-fated luck
A lonely yet a kind heart
Extraordinary people
Hanker to destroy my cities
To break my bones in pieces
'til my scars bleed unceasingly
'til I beg them to give grace
'til I'm blue in the face
So that I can be
the one to blame
The one who makes mistakes
"Be yourself" they all shriek in unison
And they cut my wings
Without shame
They can't make
My fears surrender
But they make them
Deeper
on another level
Extraordinary People destroy
my mansion
To show their ignorance
Proud of
their actions
They have zero importance
Extraordinary people
Destroy my kingdom
They are mean
Act like kids
Surround me
Force me
To be
Something called
Extraordinary
I despise people
Who Claim to be
Something called
Extraordinary
So if I ever come close
To their Extraordinarity
Lock me
in the most dreadful Bastille
Where all these Extraordinary people
Must suffer abhorrently
for keeps

Methinks that's why folk believe in "karma" and "comeuppance," yet I fail to find any ground for such a happy thought, nor even justification for the desire, although we want it so badly. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a painfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Yes I believe that too! Thank you so much ! I appreciate your comment and interpretation more than you know!
There are a lot of such people in this world unfortunately. The poem highlights the ways that such people hurt others. Well written
Thank you so much for your comment and kindness
Sadly way too many of these people in todays world, with their vast back catalogue of ways to continue to hurt us, nicely expressed and written
You are absolutely right!It is almost impossible to find true genuine people nowadays
Thank you so much
You are very welcome
