It's You Not Me

personal poetry

It's You Not Me

Why do you cut off my words?
Are they not as important as yours?
Why do you dismiss me as I walk past you?
Are you shy or just don’t care?
Why do you act as if I’m not here?
Am I too ugly?
Am I too fat?
Am I stupid?
Do I not have the right clothes?
Do I not have the right shoes?
Do I not come from the right place?
Are you ashamed of me?
Go right ahead and be ashamed.
You should be….
Of yourself.
