Misguided Arrogance (Series One)

Misguided Arrogance

An arrogance that knows no end,

Believing he's a knight -

He twists, and thrashes, and rots his own soul

And boasts that he is right!

A charming man, that knows all ends

He tells you through and through

Everything about him's just!

Your suffering's no match for two

He sees you as his champion's prize

And he'd never do you wrong

At least that's how he makes it seem

For as he says -

You hurt him always

Well listen here and know it clear:

Boastful, narcissistic lark -

Sometimes, that's how we are, as people;

With fuller lives to keep, than yours

Don't act the victim

Least, not just the one,

Your tales to listen weary

And when our pity runs its course

You'd see,

The world saw you as petty

- N.K.

Why?

Why

Did you tell me you loved me

When you treated me as you did?

And in my folly;

Made me believe it so much so that

I poured myself into 

Every crack of you

Filled you to every corner

And so it became 

That when you left me

I would have nothing but emptiness

That simply cannot comprehend;

Why the one that I loved

For which I fell for so deeply

Could be nothing but a lie

And a myriad of broken promises

That you could not have possibly kept

For you were nothing but

A boy in man's clothing

- N.K.

Tell Me This

Why does my heart ache

To think of you sad

When these same thoughts, I believe

You've never had

To sing words of love

When convenience was true;

Yet aspire beyond your blessing

And your spite rains anew

Why did I believe

And trust in your lies

When I knew you'd always given

The same alibis 

How did I feel pity

Again and again,

As you played so well

The victim, unabashed

As true as your blame

- N.K.

You asked to know

You told me once

Your friendships are brief

And even love

Falls out of reach

You asked me sadly

If I could tell

Why everyone grows tired

Of you at all

When you try and try

And do your best

To appease each person

Without a rest

The answer's clear

That one can see

You do these things

Dispassionately

You're nice because

It validates;

And not at all

To learn or take

An interest in our lives at all

This part of you we know's a shell

Who never bothered to keep in stead

Our secrets or our pains you read

You only fear to be alone

And never truly

Care or learn,

What makes us ourselves

Or even see

The type of humans that we could be

Each friend's weakness

Is fodder for another,

You feed the ones

That you deem better

And when these fools 

Are at last, aware of your games

Your disloyal, desperate

Childish aims

They cut all ties

Like paper strings,

And seek more honest

Genuine things

Like friends who'd keep their stories dear

And treat them equally

In Private;

And Public sphere

And most important of it all,

To know, my dear

Beware it all;

For time is pure, and fate will tell

Your face, In two

Would stay as thick,

And light as always, reveals it weak

The reality of your little tricks

- N.K.

Dear Readers, this is a series of original poems which I have written. I hope that you enjoy them, although they might get a little dark. These might appear emotionally charged at times. 

There are four pieces of work I would like to share in this first series - 'Misguided Arrogance', 'Why', 'Tell Me This', and 'You Asked To Know'

Thank you once again for your patronage and interest :) 

Yours Sincerely,
Natasha Katherine Pearl Low Ming Choo
