Easy Mark

You wish you knew what I know, that you
had what I do, that you could go where
I've been, where I've walked and
where I currently am.

You wish you could capture my secrets but
the more you dig, the less I allow you to find.

Your manipulation will get you no where.

You think you can sneak up on me but I've
already seen you coming. Your covert
operation isn't as silent as you think.

You paint it green with envy.

Does it entertain me to watch you suffer?

Not entirely, but you bring it on yourself.

Don't dictate how I should live,
you can't even manage yourself.

Don't order me to do as you please,
you can't resolve your own life.

Don't involve me in your pathetic cries for attention.
(If only you could see how sorry you look.)

Childish tantrums resolve nothing.

Do you realize that when you obsess over my
life, I'm more inclined to put on a show for you?

As you become more consumed with me, I rise up
to the challenge and give you a reason to worry.

If you scream over my words, my thoughts, my face,
my presence...

I

will

flaunt

them.

The more you hate me, the more I am
willing to play the role.

You don't know me; I'm okay with that.

Being unhappy makes you happy,
so stop playing the victim.

Take charge of your life.

Maybe then, you wouldn't be such

an

easy

mark.

    Well damn, I feel like this should be put on a shirt, or a motivational poster. No wonder why you can see so much green from space, these marks stain over half the known planet. From religion, to stardom, to high school, even the next door neighbors...everyone just needs to learn how stray from gossip and mindless assumptions and just live their lives.

    I adore this poem!! Defo one of your best. I have to admit that when I was reading your poem I actually had someone in mind that I thought you were writing about but was surprised when I read your after thought and realised i was perhaps wrong on this, after re reading the poem again, and again, I feel it still fits for this person and also the people who we do not know that well but have all of these traits above and control they think they have on us.

    I really related to this and the way they try to manipulate and be involved in your life, but not because they want to be but because they feel the need to be involved in everything around them, then maybe they wont be so intimidated by you if they can pick apart your secrets and fears.

    Awesome write and I totally got every word and would love certain people in my life to read this as I am sure others would find very helpful too.

    <3 this one!
