Venting

By Ms. Billie Kingston

I am so tired of having to pay for what was done yesterday.
To be judged based on who you think I should be,
Instead of accepting me as I am.
My personality may not be to your specification,
But so what!
I accept you, so accept me and let things be.

Sick and tired of this "good enough to talk to but not enought to hang with..."
"Good enough to speak to at school but not to call at home..."
What is wrong with this picture?
You tell me you want to be a friend,
Yet your actions say, "Stay away."
I am so sick of us on a "your terms" friendship.
What is that? Well, this is it for me.
Time for me to break free and let the whole world see and know that this is me.

If you don't like me, then it is you who must flee.
Even if you do disagree, understanding and compassion is the key.
Be the friend to me that you want me to be to you.

I am not sorry for who I am,
And you need to get a grip and tuck in that lip.
Accept me even as I accept you.
Why do you judge what I used to have done,
And try to apply it to what I am now?

Looking at my present, yet seeing only my past.
Blinded by the shadow that it once cast.
Put this to rest at last, for God's mercy has and still is vast.
