Scarred

They run deep and are not not often seen.

They a the residual effects of trauma and suffering.

They anxious feelings of fear.

They are quiet dry tears.

They they are the lingering night terrors of unsreolved conflicts.

They cold stares and plastic smiles.

They are the unanswered cries for help.

They are tucked away nice and neat.

They are painful and they run deep.

Nothing personal

 If they don't know you personally don't take it personally.

It's not always about you.

Some people are spiritually dead and have purpose or meaning in their life. 

They live day to day with no clue.

They despise you for having the courage to walk your path.

That's why they take shots.

That's why they throw shade.

That's why they spread lies.

They are upset with themselves for letting the peace they want in life pass them by.

You represent that life and sickens them.

That's why they lash out.

The best way to deal with people like that is to not engage.

Just fall back and let them play themselves out.

My nots

Have you ever noticed that everyone always acknowledges have.

They give thanks for all they have.

None ever speaks about the word not in good way.

Well, today I am going to appreciate all my nots.

I'm glad not sick.

I'm esstatic that I'm not deceased.

I'm not incarcerated.

I'm not poor.

I'm not broken.

I'm not lonely.

I'm not depressed.

I'm not bitter.

I'm not  cold.

I'm not in bondage.

I'm not out of options.

I'm not weary.

I'm not depleted.

I'm not in lack.

I'm not defeated.
