When you call me names, <br />When you push me hard, <br />When you rip my life apart, <br />When you hide my stuff, <br />When you talk about me behind my back, <br />When you whisper shit about me, <br />When you laugh at me when I make a mistake, <br />I cry, I fall, I cut, I search, and I close my eyes, <br />I pretend not hear, I hide in embarrassment, <br />I then come home and bang my head on the wall. <br />Because I am no animal, I feel feelings <br />I feel love, anger, sadness, loneness, and many, many more <br />I am a human, too. When you punch my skin I bruise, <br />So why can t you just leave me alone? <br />What have I done to you? <br />This is the way I was born, <br />Why can’t you accept it and ignore? <br />I never wanted to be like this, <br />Why is my face such a disgrace? <br />I don’t know what I have done to you, <br />I don’t know why I am so dishonored by you <br />Maybe because you never saw me <br />When I am so generous and happy <br />Maybe because I am something new <br />And I am not the same boring blue <br />I wish I were the blue, though <br />You tell me to be what you are <br />That’s how you teased me apart <br />I have no one else and I do what I am told <br />Sometimes I just wish I was you <br />Just so I won’t be treated like trash <br />I‘ve never been like you <br />Because I don’t like what you are<br /><br />'Merse' Mersedes III<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-you-abuse-me/
