I’M TRULY TIRED OF YOU ALL
The wound in my heart,
When will it heal, I don’t know,
No cure exists for this pain,
No doctor’s found it, though.
My enemies wait for me to break,
They open the door to betrayal’s wake.
Maybe now, it’s finally enough,
I’M TRULY TIRED OF YOU ALL.
You fear not God’s wrath above,
Even poison you’d gladly shove.
Tell me, when will you turn to grace?
I’M TRULY TIRED OF YOU ALL!
In front, you stand as if you’re strong,
Behind, you stab—like you’ve all along.
On my path, you scatter thorns,
I’M TRULY TIRED OF YOU ALL!!
I’m the bad one, go ahead and claim,
Keep saying you’re the victor of the game.
Gossip about me, add to my blame,
I’M TRULY TIRED OF YOU ALL.

The first two lines are very interesting: The wound in my heart, / When will it heal, I don’t know. The persona in the poem experiences heartache from toxic people. I’ve read an online article about “How to Deal with Toxic People”:
Avoid playing into their reality
Some people have a tendency to see themselves as the victim in every situation. If they mess up, they might shift the blame to someone else or tell a story that paints them in a more positive light.
You might feel tempted to nod and smile in order to prevent an angry outburst. This might feel like the safest option, but it can also encourage them to see you as a supporter.
Try respectful disagreement instead. You might say, “I had a different take on the situation,” and describe what really happened. Stick to the facts, without making accusations.
