Trash

You have no patience
And pay no intention to my needs.
All you see are my flaws
And would rather spit anger.

I have a life too
Things that are going on.
I can't be emotionless like you
And feed your fake happiness.

I didn't cause your past
Nor leave those insecurities, your scars.
Stop treating me as much
And targeting me as the enemy.

I took a lot on
When I chose to love you.
Where is the respect?
The kindness I lay at your feet?

Do you even think about it?
Or is selfishness your game.
I'm not just some piece of trash
That you can recycle for your moods.

So open your eyes
And begin to listen.
I'm not tied down
And I refuse to be your weakness.

Yes, listen before I walk away..
