The Golden Rule

Treat others the way,

You

Want to be treated.

Walking,
I see you
Talking
I see you
Sitting
I see you,
Right through you

Consider yourself
unwelcome.

Mean,
No, not me,

You.

Stupid,
No, not me,

You.

Dumb, obnoxious, worthless,
No, not me,

You.

Mentally, I fall
Physically, I’m dead
Until one day,
I will stand up.
I won’t accept
This abuse.
Because I,

Not you,

Deserve better.
And all I do,
For you,
Is not for me,

And I’m done.

This poem is about a friend I had, who would only see her way. She always called me stupid, obnoxious etc. when it was always her who abused me. This poem is for all of the girls who mentally abuse people and don't realize it.
