Withering Ties
A quiet storm of resentment, ego, and emotional distance.
Where everything is short-lived
The grudges we hold are long-lived
One moment we say, arguments lead nowhere
And the next moment, we speak words, unfair
We carry so much hatred in our heart
That we let our relationships fall apart
Our ego is so big we refuse to speak
Not knowing it’s climbing a mountain’s peak
We wait for others to talk and initiate
Time flies and we let our problems inflate
Relationships, so weak, have turned into a nightmare
Where fear, despair fill the air and people speak only to thin air
We let resentment cloud our mind
That blurs our vision, makes us blind
We ask others to give us peace
Unaware that it lies within-and we let it cease

For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.

A deep poem about how grudges and ego ruin relationships
I do think the age of socail media has exacerbated this massively!
This is such a great reminder that I need to let go if grudges. I've always been terrible at that!
