Rejected

By telling me to be different

You rejected my soul

By seeing my pain

As an expressed attack upon you

When it had nothing to do with you

You just showed me how self centred you are

Sorry my friend but I don’t have time

For a fair weather friend

Or someone who

Never knew

Half of this pain

You tell me to be happy

While taking away the ground upon which

Such happiness could stand

Affirmation, presence, support, love and true empathy

So excuse me if I just

Take my space

To find a way and place to be

Free to be me

Free of your misunderstanding, selfishness

And delusion
