Respect

by schmetterling   Sep 6, 2019


I got used to
your toxicity.
Where you should've been
supporting me
you didn't.
Where you should've
been there for me
you weren't.
You never really
told me that you were
proud of me
when all I did
was root for you
through everything.
You made me
feel bad about myself
when I was upset
because you never took my side
not once.
Sure
you gave me compliments
on my appearance,
but you never did
on how I was continuing
despite the fact
that I was struggling.
You were insensitive;
just because you don't understand
doesn't mean
you get to act the way
you did.
You were nice enough
on the surface,
but beneath that
lies darkness
I never thought I'd see.
You need help too
because you're going to hurt
so many people
with the way you act
if you don't.
Walking around
like everyone in the world
is beneath you
is going to land you nowhere.
