When it Really Matters
Shut me out
Shut me out all you want to
That is how this works all the time
You flare up when they hurt you
And I become your personal "punch bag"
I dont need your sympathy
Nor your opinion or empathy
If you cannot learn to respect me
Not treat me like a door mat
When its convenient
But be nice to you is what you expect
Sorry honey get over it
This vengeful, grudging attitude
You hang on to every time
Do you honestly think it makes it so justifying?
When your actions are more hurtful
than your own trangressor
Do you call that Justice
When you hurt the ones who Trust you?
For this life is meant to be full
of trials and tribulations
Where perfect days and celebrations
Are often rare occasions.
I would have thought you would have realized
The whole point of being a human
Is when we make mistakes or have flaws
You would think all the years of parenting
Would have counted as years of patience or experience
Yet you never seem to learn from that
And it saddens me you think yourself to be
the example for me
