Day 1.3

You take, and you take...

By Amber CrockerPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

You take, and you take,

then you take again.

You refuse to help

with any such chore.

You will not pay for

anything, you will not

find work but when

you do have work

you are only there

for a short time.

You're creepily looking

for someone better than

the one you have at

your side already.

You do not go out

of the house on your own,

you hide. When you are

not hiding you get

the same treatment as

the rest of us, and then

complain that we do not

know what it is like when you know

we've been putting up with it our

entire lives while you've been

around for only a handful of years.

You do all of this, then

turn around and criticize those

who do similar things then you

or do more than you.

You sure as hell aren't

a breadwinner, dear.

Come back when you have something to offer.

You use your friends

until they do something

you disagree with.

You get mad at

the wrong things

and instead of

working it out,

you drop them as if

the friendship meant

absolutely nothing.

On the other hand,

you are too naive

and too nice.

You get used for

that, and will

not realize this

until after it happened.

It is one extreme

or the other, no gray area.

I do not believe

you understand what

I am interested in.

You want me to

be interested in the

hobbies you have

interest in but will

not take any considerable

amount of interest in mine.

This is annoying and

tiring, honestly.

I'm not interested

in the one way

street I am

walking on with you.
