Only to Reveal the Real Deal

Take an accumulation,
Of acts of disrespect performed...
Over a period of years.
Add to that blatant deceit,
To which one attempts to keep discreet.
And minus from that,
An overwhelming patience.

If anyone should say,
They have no idea...
Why someone from them,
Has taken a patience away?
They have been totally into themselves.

And to label someone within listening distance,
As 'crazy' for what they've done.
To those tiring of giving empathy to this,
Repetitious nonsense...
Is only to reveal the real deal.
