Tired - a rant!

By bonnie blue

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I’m so tired of being wrong Of being foolish Of wanting too much I’m tired of people I think are my friends Turning on me when I need them I’m tired of having my psyche analyzed And spit back in my face Because I don’t see things The way someone else does I’m tired of being open When all I get is dumped on When the chips are down They aren’t there for me They act like I’m a burden It’s a bother to listen to me And god forbid I should feel hurt When they’re snippy to me Because I took them away from Whatever I interrupted When I ask for an opinion Why is it always delivered with sarcasm? Who said I needed a reality check? I was only looking for support, And some kindness At least not to be berated For something I didn’t even know I did. I’m tired of being treated like I’m stupid Because I have issues still to deal with And dreams too big to come true. Whatever happened to compassion? Huh? How about politeness? So I’ve got my heart on my sleeve. Does that give you the right to kick it? Did you even know that you made me cry? …do you even care?
