Mistreatment
You look at me
And all you see are flaws
Ad you judge
From your unconstructive criticism
You will not yield
Or even budge
You possess the knack
Or ability
To leave me feeling low
Like I am dumb or stupid
But it’s something
That you already know
You leave me feeling
Unwanted, dirty
Unloved and ashamed
Instead of being proud
You make me
Hate what I was named
You’ve taken away
Every ounce of confidence
And also my self-esteem
You’ve managed
To destroy all my hopes
And even my dreams
You’ve taken my trust
In anything
That is good
You make me believe
That I will forever
Remain misunderstood
