Responsibility, The Girl You Hurt (TW)

I can’t take this anymore

You pressure me as if it’s nothing for you

You do not see how your actions

Affect other people

With no regard for me

No regard for our friends

My friends


I was a kid once

Do you ever think about that?

Before you push me around

Think of the little girl you are hurting too

Would you still do that to her?


I bet you would, wouldn’t you?

The look on your face says it all

You simply don’t care


Don’t care about my friends

Our friends

Me


You have made it clear

I see the way you look at me

You make it

Too clear

You advance and pressure me

As if it is nothing


You need to learn

Soon enough

All of this will catch up to you eventually

One day


I hope to see the day where you

Are the one left in shambles

With nothing

All you have is your cold self

On the floor

Alone


You have no respect

Sense of self

I hate that I pity you

I hate that I can still tolerate this

I have put up with this

With you

For too long


I hope to see the day where you are

Cold

Alone

But also

Where you learn how you have hurt me


This day won’t come

Not for a long time

If ever


You have taught me that hope means nothing


You need to learn

If you don’t

All that you have put me through means nothing


The way you pressure me

And advance

I am too tired


Do you EVER consider anyone other than yourself?


I can’t take this anymore

You pressure me as if it is nothing for you

Because it is nothing

You feel nothing

It means nothing

To you


You will truly never see how your actions

Affect other people

I know you have no regard for me

Or our friends


“Our” friends

They know what you did

There is no “our”

They have made it very clear who they believe

I can’t believe

Through everything we have all been through

Curly still takes your side

I thought he was observant

And was good at staying open minded

He is only that way when it is convenient for him.

I can’t believe it

I thought he cared about me

At least the others do


Next time you try to hurt me

And tear me down

Remember

I was a kid once, too

Remember

When you hurt me

You hurt her, too


Don’t give me that look

But that look says it all

You don’t care

Typical


I hope one day you learn

How to

Take

Responsibility.
