All things must pass, come to an end, everything\u2019s\ntemporary,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common clich\u00e9s that we hear on the daily, ease of acceptance\nalso varies,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Youth and athleticism fade eventually, so can looks, money\nand status,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change is constant and immune to resistance, some sit back\nand accept it while others fight hard to delay it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relationships are no different, not all remain rock solid, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some friendships are permanent while others last only for a\nmoment,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all couples make it to the altar while others learn that\nvows won\u2019t always last forever,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe the decision\u2019s mutual, an expiry date\u2019s slapped on\nsome unions, it\u2019s unfortunate but neither party\u2019s left irreversibly wounded,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there are couples shattered cuz one half committed the ultimate\nbetrayal, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It need not be a death sentence if the guilty repents and\nreinvents, both sides pick up the pieces and become whole again,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But more often than not it can\u2019t be salvaged, call it dead\non arrival,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s flat lines on the life support system, 9-1-1 ain\u2019t\nresuscitatin\u2019 nothin\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Scorned reacts in one of two ways, both on extreme ends\nof the scale,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maintain the stoicism of a trooper or embrace the path of\nthe hurt and enraged,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former quietly turns the page, busy working on starting\nover to give in to the rage,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latter trashes their ex at every opportunity, often\nthrough methods nothing short of cringy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warning the masses of that jerk\u2019s true colors,\nmetaphorically tarring and feathering \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putting up signs around town and debasing their cars and\nprized possessions,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If all goes well that coward\u2019s crimes will go viral online, sending\nthem duckin\u2019 and dodgin\u2019 but with nowhere to hide,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one loves a cheater, therefore the masses must sympathize\nwith the former lover, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revenge served cold and the audience will cheer and applaud\nyou for it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But going overboard will leave some disturbed by your\nactions,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since when do responsible adults resort to childish\ntantrums?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We get that you\u2019re mad but was airing your dirty laundry\npart of the game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one asked to hear the dirty details, have you any ounce\nof shame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We get that they pushed you head-first, fully-clothed, into\na pool of indignity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You could have climbed out and stayed out, instead you done\ncannonballed back in there willingly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You eschew a dignified response in favor of bitter,\nobsessive behavior,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you\u2019re bleeding supporters, but rest easy, they ain\u2019t\nsiding with that cheater,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But some may wonder if your shortcomings drove \u2018em into the\narms of another,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they\u2019ll surely be concerned \u2018bout your kids, this can\u2019t\ndo \u2018em any good,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re setting \u2018em up for ridicule from their peers \u2018round\nthe hood,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gotta be tough coming to terms with parents living separate\nlives, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet you compound their trauma as you vent to them constantly\nlike a bitter ex-husband or wife,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juicy gossip spreads faster than wildfire, \u2018cuz of you other\nkids\u2019ll be pointing and whispering,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wondering aloud why their Mom or Pops were hoein\u2019, it\u2019s a\nrecipe for humiliation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Twas you who done bleated out loud \u2018bout how your other\nhalf thirsted then flirted, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simped over then snogged another before fucking \u2018em behind\nyour back many times over,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck any good that they\u2019ve done previously to you and the\nchildren, strike that shit off the record,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They deserve to burn for eternity, tortured in the Ninth\nCircle by The Devil and his minions, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it\u2019s your fault alone if your actions render your kids\nmisguided and damaged,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An environment of toxicity and anger will lead to severe\nconsequences,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bitterness towards both parents, trauma manifested in an\ninability to love another,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passing on the curse of family dysfunction, compounded by\nsevere anxiety and depression,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Infidelity hurts and wrecks lives, it\u2019s the actions of selfish\ncowards lacking the balls to break-up,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your anger\u2019s understandable but force-feeding others your\nfeelings is hella fucked-up,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Move on with your life quietly and with dignity, work hard\nand let your successes do the talking,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make that fool regret their actions, you\u2019ll come out a winner\nwhile proving yourself a true role model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
