Poetry's Tale to Tell

Pause

You said you hate me,

Hold on, I gotta put you on pause.

I give you applause,

You really made me think I showed you my claws.

But only for the evilest do I forget the laws. . .

You told me you hate me.

How I should set you free,

Because I just don't seem to give you the time to breathe.

Well then why are you still here?
You're the one implying you should be six feet under,

Asleep.

I'm just stating facts.

You don't seem to like them judging by how you act,

Look now you're all red and seething.

Hold on I gotta put you on pause!

Because I realized your fake calls,

Just don't do it no more.

We all get anxious,

Too stressed in the moment,

We don't see the frankness of it all.

That's why you gotta remember,

When things go crazy and everything turns hazy,

You gotta hit pause.

Get your head together,

Stop wasting your time and tears,

On a hater like him!

They only keep coming,

So stop clicking repeat,

Get off that beat.

Remember to breathe,

Don't lose your head for some

NOBODY!

Hit pause,

Because you can always resume,

Once you've gotten rid of that gloom.

So remember when you need to,

You can always hit,

PAUSE
