Sharp words through my heart by Simran Colaco, Long Road Sixth Form College

February 2022

To people who are backstabbers or gossipers’ betrayals

I see the colours you’re hiding behind the lifeless words.

You made me hear everything without knowing how I felt

Your words just went across me like a sword

It’s just not about who is real to your face

Words get around and travel in circles

I know you’re a person with no self-esteem

You have so many insecurities

Go deal with yourself first than with others

You better understand yourself before fixing someone else

Some people are polite, some are real but never mind there are fakers too

The bullets from your mouth are stuck into my head

You just broke our hearts with all the crap you said

Did you know the trust we had upon you? …..

There’s no guilt and there is no self-shame, that I can see in you

How many more colours are you concealing beyond the phrases

I need to admonish myself that the world is not innocent

Some are friendly, some jealous and some are selfish and some you never want to know

I know you’re a person with no self-esteem

You have so many insecurities

Go deal with yourself first than maybe glare at others

You better understand yourself before moving towards other hearts

I didn’t wanna destroy the beautiful memories of all the good times we had

I hope that one day you release what you have done

I quiet didn’t expect this from you or maybe I did

Never mind I have heard the words or rumors that came flying across me

There’s no point of releasing now

I see everything but I was turned back from the words I wanted to say

cause I didn’t want to create a scene

I thought of every moment for now

But next time you never know I won’t have the patients you see.

I have a rage burning through my veins wanting to say everything that’s banging in my head

I can’t pretend to be nice anymore.

I had to say this out loud to get it out of my chest.

You can’t break me down

Cause I have the power to stay brilliantly courageous

Now I have expectation while trusting anyone

Sometimes I don’t really care about you but I’m forced to do so.
