Why Do You

Why do you feel it necessary to make snide remarks in the guise of a compliment? The person I may have been last year is not the person I am today. But you can’t really see that since you’ve decided to throw digs my way, in the guise of backhanded praise. Things are not the same as before, but, when you speak all I feel is a sucker punch to my core. An ugly word wrapped in a pretty package does not make it sweet and appealing, only unpalatable. Needless to say when spoken in mixed company just makes you look like a tyrant and horrible. You feel you are beyond reproach that all you do Is as it should be done and no one else can get in word one. You may be fooling yourself into thinking You are a genuine, professional person, But all I see is judgment and derision.
