Rake me up and down
with hostility in your eyes
Manipulate my mind
Rip me apart to shreds
If you can
If it makes you feel great
All the better
Actions are always taken for granted.
Always
Intentions are always never taken
In to consideration
They disintergrate the moment
The action is unappreciated.
So by all means please
Go right ahead
Rain on my parade.
I may be moody, gloomy or grumpy
My moods are meant
for you to decipher
If I am someone you value
By now I am pretty sure
You are well aware
Of what puts me off, turns me on
What spoils my mood what raises it
If mornings or evenings are my thing
My moods reflect my choice of attire
If you do not appreciate the things
I begin to tire
From putting so much effort
Not to please you but
To make you feel at ease, be in comfort
I cannot be the one to blame
If you do not notice
Take my efforts, my actions for granted
I make mistakes. I am human
You aren't perfection
you aren't infallible
I'm sorry if you only notice
When I lapse in my chores
Or express my woes to you
If you cannot empathize
I guess there's really no point
Trying to explain when you very well
Will not understand
So please keep your silence
And you keep the attitude
I am beyond repair
beyond the empathy
I deserve
The unwanted assumptions
The temporary affections
If I mean so little to people
I guess that really isn't my fault
I know who I am and what I deserve
A little respect, empathy is all I ask
Tell me is that really
So much to ask?
Or would you rather shred
The little confidence I have
Would you rather scatter
The little self love or appreciation
I had
Because it didnt match or agree
with what you desired
Break me even more
Till I am nothing more
Than an empty shell
A fragile glass
Ever ready to shatter
Or crack or become smitherines.
For even a cracked glass
can be mended
But saying you are sorry to it
Will not make the crack disappear.
No band aid can fix a bullet hole.
No apology can make a scar vanish.
No amount of good you did in the past
Can ever erase any hurt you cause in the present.
The past good you did is no excuse
To cause harm in the present
Out of pride or arrogance
