You insult me

And the only reason I care

Is because you are a part of me

So I must listen

By blood or by heart

It does not matter

For you poison my blood

And stab my heart

I run and hide

So that you might not see

How you make me cry

And hurt inside

For if you knew

What pain you caused

What would you do?

But cause more pain

No, I could not bear

If you noticed

How you make me hurt

When you spit your venom

You already think me

As weak

Lacking strength

And courage

I don't need your rebuke

I liked you better before

Because now

I don't even know you

So won't you please stop

Using your words

To degrade me

For who I am?
