Poem Title:
Poem
Face to face, eye to eye I stand tall and stay firm My voice does not raise And my tone does not change I might listen... if I feel like it But chances are...I won't believe you I already know the words The story is always the same You are unchanging, but need to change Your inflated ego will have you unable to see this And no one would dare tell you...so I will It's not okay to speak those words to me I will not stand for it for a second I don't use them with you It's not okay to take friendship for granted Acting sporadic like a leaf blowing without breeze I don't do this to you It's not okay to use me like a writing utensil Picking me up until my ink evaporates Then toss me away I would never...could never... Do that to anyone You need to control your raging hormones Just like you'd expect of a cycling woman You need to start thinking first and acting much later Instead of trying to erase mistakes... The eraser is rubbing away You should know also that I do take from you But I do give to you, a heck of a lot in return And don't you dare try to tell me otherwise And that brings us to the lies You will lie through, not so clenched teeth, to hurt in anger Because there is no true reason to be angry Or at least none you are willing to admit Not even to yourself But you thrive off the fight Probably for the resulting attention Am I perfect? nope not at all You too are not And even though you might know this You still act like you are supposed to be higher And hold the fact that I am human against me I refuse to accept a slanted scale of friendship I am the friend that would give up my last breath for those I love Loyal even to people that hurt me I know you will disagree But even then, I was loyal You just couldn't see You've hurt me on beat And the rhythm stays steady I will not take it any longer I am not the one who needs changing Not this time So don't tell me you're sorry... Just show me
