Questions build to the point of breaking...
One after another the steps expand the distance...
Linking too many moments like this together
Why does common sense seem to fail so quickly?
When there is no attempt to clarify the difference in interpretation
It creates a dividing line between respect and betrayal
When all words are thrown like daggers, they are meant for a single reason
Their destination and purpose is to inflict pain...
Its a point to be made and blame of wrong doing
Around every action there is darkness waiting
So how is another to feel?
When the defense of emotions in denied
Why is it okay for another, but not for me?
This misunderstanding is not mine to own
I carry no fault within me...
I have the ability to process through that which needs to be done
While all else that remains, is left at your feet
Denying its existence...
These are all decisions made from choices
You do not get to hurt another, then get to control how they feel about it
Where is the ownership?
This heavy weight is not mine to bear
And this is where my refusal comes to be...
I will not stand idly by and be hurt repeatedly
Simply because pride causes your eyes to be blind
I will not remain in a place where I am baited with anger
It stains my mental health with bruises
And leaves too many shadows upon my skin
Disrespect has trespassed beyond the line of no return
Labeling this what it is...
That some obstacles within life that we need to overcome
Unfortunately also have a name.
