#manipulators poems on Hello Poetry

Damocles Sep 1

This doesn’t compute
The lies that travel,
Silk woven webs
Have failed to connect.

I want to live on your tongue,
To see the words pass by,
Like a stage cars passing down
And when the crash hits

^BANG

And the letters jumble like passengers
Who will know what is real,
When the st-st-sttuddderr—ing sounds
Mix and relent into a lack of coherence?

What is the thing you wish to say
If you could have said, if you would have said
From your miserable maw?

Gaped with disbelief
As you hurdle credibility like landfill
Out of your mouth.

I command,
An exposition for you to stand,
Upon your own laurels
And hope you contend
On merit of your own self worth.

Lost in translation
These words no longer hold a meaning
It doesn’t bode well,
When nothing makes sense
From incredulous sources.

You remain…
A stain,
Syntax error.

I don't understand

I don't understand how the victim is the one to be blamed, as the predator goes off easily. The sensitive ones blamed for how they feel as their reaction are blown out of proportion while the predator gaslights and walk off with no responsibility or consequence for their action. Why is that salt is added to wound, trigger pulled on a trigger while the perpetuators, manipulators walk off free. I don't understand why the victims suffer, while the predators are glorified. I don't understand, and maybe by breathing naivety never will.

- To the many things, I fail to understand about this world

Manipulators

So you tryn feel depress,
Making your mind discover
Iam not in a good place
People all over me
Iam depressed, nobody is there.... Including youuuu..... .
.
(So listen up people
Iam here about to tell )
the "YOU" thing people speak
that you felt,
has added you in story,
to make you feel aware
thats its you who iam talking about;
Including youuuu..... .
.
(Here look up),
This "YOU" makes it personal
You becomming negative emotional
Making you to make choice irrational
Focus on point uncontrollable
This is...
Exactly how they live
Making you feel guilt.
.
.
.

manipulators..... Let go
Control on powers of words
Assume them that
Its just a curse.... .
.
.

That will make you... "YOU" .
.
.
.
.
Good life
Good phase
Good time
Good race...

Best Friend

What's a best friend?
I hope one day I know the meaning of what a “best friend” is suppose to be.
 One who won’t constantly scrutinize me. 
One who will laugh with me and not at me. 
One who will listen instead of interrupt.
 * 
Who will encourage me to do my best, because they have faith in what I can do.  
And it’s a shame that I thought it’d be you.  You’re not right in your heart, and for that we should be apart.  
Until you stop putting others down and turn your life around, I will be absent.
 I could never speak to you and have your full understanding.  
You have your herd of sheep, but I chose to stand up and create my own life to lead. 
I’ve encouraged you before, but instead you choose to stay tied down to your bedroom floor.
 It hurts to say “I love you”  because now I will be without you,  
But it’s better to avoid making more of a mess and time to lay this “friendship” to rest.  
I wish you nothing but the best.
