Day 1.2

Ode to You

By Amber CrockerPublished 7 years ago 2 min read

You are reckless,

play dumb,

manipulate those around you,

don't manage your finances,

won't take things when

they're supposed to be taken.

You act as if

you know everything,

make up stuff,

refuse to listen to reason.

You are ignorant,

will be disrespectful,

and very impatient.

You want people to

cater to your needs,

and your body and personal

space are not clean.

You feel entitled,

don't want to work,

want to play the poor and

disabled card when you know

how to get out of that situation.

You do not want to

get better at all,

you'd rather play the victim

while wondering why

you got into your position.

You do not act dumb,

you are dumb,

with the interest of

bored teenagers.

You are loud without realizing,

believing in things

nobody else sees or hears.

You have obsession,

driven by lust mistaken for love.

You attempt horrible ideas,

try protecting others from

situations that do not

need protection from.

You are a hypocrite,

you are known to lie.

You try to whisper secrets,

believe you tell everyone things

they do not already know

when it is the opposite.

You believe us to be stupid.

You have aspirations but

will not go through with them,

and have horrible spelling and grammar.

Do not be fooled,

we know your antics.

We also do not wish

to meet your internet stranger friends.

I do not believe

for a split second

that you really want to

do anything you want to do.

You want to use

your current situation

as a crutch, as an excuse,

as to why you

can not achieve your dreams.

you would rather be

a "victim" than do any

real work to get

yourself into a better place.

Due to this

decision, you are

not only negatively

affecting yourself, you

are negatively affecting

the people around you.

do you realize what

you are doing? it

is insanity!

You play a dangerous

game.

Once you begin manipulating

the minds of those with

less intelligence of yourself,

is when you start to

get addicted to walking on

a line between what is acceptable

and what you want.

One day you'll manipulate

the wrong person, and finally,

you will have to suffer the

consequences that go along

with it.

You could, in fact, grow up,

and fend for yourself

instead of depending on

the ones you use.

You won't do that though.

You take too much

pride and joy in

being the victim, no

matter what the cost may be.
