Vengeful Envy

The wind whispered secrets in my ear of truths and falsies 

Spread further than the eyes could see

Beneath so-called friendships were deceiving lies all the while smiling in my face

Sucking away the air from my personal space

Vultures hovering over each word and sentence thinking of ways to construe

Attempting to take away joys and life with untruths

Little did they know their evil intentions were recognized for exactly what they were

Resistance made the pot difficult to stir

Sticking their noses in business that they had no right to assume

Victory prevailed never taking flight to consume

Privacy no longer being private, publicity became a dark shadow luring in defiance 

But in the end the real story became truths reliance

While side chatter will always continue

An arms lengths distance will now ensue

Nothing or no one can take the words from my heart and sound from my lips

It's just now my mind is stronger than hateful grips

I now can see the real from the fake

And my happiness will never again be at stake

No one has the power to take what's truly mine

In my thoughts my secrets are now confined

Lessons learned reserving my trust

True love has more strength than envy and lust

I can forgive but never forget so save any apologies or pleads

Vengeance in the end has no choice but to concede
