You pretend it's a compliment <br />Everyone turns expecting a Thanks <br />But I can't say a word <br />I feel lost and humilliated <br />Does your comment mean I'm <br />Inhuman every other ordinary <br />Day <br />Does it mean I'm not pretty <br />Does it mean I'm hopeless <br />Could it mean your trying to <br />Pretend <br />As though you have a heart <br />Does it mean you actually care <br />Or was it just another accidental <br />Break where you truely <br />Don't understand a single <br />Word you say <br />As I shift into reality and see <br />Everyone staring back at me <br />Waiting for my simple Thanks <br />I can no longer think or speak <br />And you never get your 'Thanks' <br /> <br />October 2007<br /><br />Gee Cii Schnider<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-stupid-compliment/
