Poem - Honestly Speaking
Honestly speaking,
this is the most humiliated
that I have ever been in my whole life.
Unpleasant memories of
being harassed by a childhood bully
do not even compare.
My adult self
is currently trying
to figure
out what is going
on here!
Honestly speaking,
why do human beings
have to cause other
human beings so much pain
sometimes?
There are some people out
there with such horrible attitudes.
It takes a lot of fortitude
to rise above their ways.
They want to hurt others
and then call them “easy targets”.
They prey
on the heightened sensitivity
of those that are more easily hurt
as if it is a meat market.
They act really extreme
and treat such sensitive individuals
like they have no worth.
Sure, we can all try to have
a “toughen up, buttercup”
attitude
but instead,
for humanity’s sake
why don’t we just
stop being so rude
to each other.
There is room for us all.
The sensitive and the aloof.
We just need to create
a little more living proof.
What best describes you?
