Can Two Things Be True At Once?

Ugh! I feel a frustration so deep,

I toss and turn coming in and out of my sleep,

I seen it, it was right there

You only seen that I wanted to play with it, so you chose to be unfair.

You took it! Please help, I see who the crook is

An individual whos unsure of themselves so they steal from others who do,

They take and take and take until nothing left of you,

Your energy, your time, their favorite treasure is you peace of mind. Ugh!

I cannot stand someone like you,

You hurt me.

You desert me.

You force me to choose…

Between what’s best for me, giving up the rest of me, i find myself confused by this circumstance, disheartened, sad, and feeling abused.. by you.

Ugh!

But everyone sees you smile,

They love to hear you talk,

They love to see you happy,

They feed you affirmations and blessings,

You get the toys,

You get the gifts,

You get to have everything on your wish list.

But, here i am.

Here i will remain for a while.

I stay hid away unloved like the favorite child.
