PLAYING VICTIM
You can stop playing victim,
by acting as if I’m the mean one.
I’ve got valid reasons to be angry
and stay that way
as long as you still disrespect me.
You can stop playing victim
because you were the one who started it.
I was simply minding my own business –
not giving a damn
that you thought I’d be throwing such a hissy fit.
You may stop playing the victim
or continue whining
but you’d made up your mind
when you chose to demonize
women like me (all career women are useless!)
No worries,
I’m not expecting your apology
since you believe you’ve always been right about everything.
To you, our friendship has meant nothing.
You’re more than welcome
to stay a (made-up) victim.
I’ve been okay with this radio silence.
There’s nothing wrong with my conscience.
Everyone’s entitled to their own choices,
as long as they don’t harm others.
I’m done with you,
patronizing me like I’m such a stupid kid.
I no longer care that you think I’m a bitch!
R.
