My Complaint

By Amber CrockerPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

You act like

we do not understand

what you deal with when you

know full well we've been

putting up with it our entire lives.

You put the blame on

an illness you claim

to have, when, in

reality, that was you

being an unnecessary ass.

It is not right that

you come here

with a free ride only

to act like you are

entitled to bad

behaviour. Don't bite

the hand that houses

you and do not lie

to manipulate

the situation.

When a few people

tell you they do not

like something about

something, it does not

make it true.

When there is someone

people do not like

lying to you to

manipulate the situation,

doing all of this shady

stuff, then maybe those

around you have truths

to the reasons they do not

like the person.

At the end of the day, only

you decide who you are

going to choose.

whoever you choose,

think about what you

may lose and leave

behind.

The ones who bring

nothing to the table

like to talk down about

those who do that come around.

It is a pot

calling the kettle black

type of issue that you

will see sometimes.

If you are not a breadwinner,

do not help out around

your home, and act worse

then the person you speak

of, you shouldn't be comparing

yourself or anyone to them.

If you want to do that,

go achieve more than the

person, or stay silent

in your thoughts of them.

You do not bring shit

to the table right now.
