Spiteful Ex: A Synonym

I wrote a letter to the wind
Tied the note to a crow
And off he went without rescind

I made it known that I shall not tolerate injustice nor entertain it.

I made it known that I've been hurt brutally

I may not wear the scars to show it
But my mind has been diseased --
Anxiety
Low self-esteem
Depressive symptoms
Trust issues
The odd panic attack
And multiple insecurities sewed into my core
That go off like ticking time bombs because I now walk on egg shells

Which familiar face do I trust? --- None of them

I drew comparisons of all the ways I was robbed of happiness
Robbed of breadcrumbs
And how unfair it is

And the little birdie wrote back to me
Calling me a "spiteful ex";
"Unkind"; and a
"Bully" who would "sink that low".

So you see, friends, family and familiar foes, this is what is wrong with the world:

When people speak up --
Telling their story and standing up for themselves
And their supportive friends who've done absolutely no wrong...

Here's a life tip - ✨Free of charge✨:

Don't gaslight them and make it about you when it has nothing to do with you; and don't call them names and invalidate their pain and horrible experiences.

Yours sincerely,

Spiteful Ex: a synonym for someone who stands up for themselves and speaks their truth about mental abuse. (Also known as a bully who sinks that low)
