How Dare You

How dare you look down at me.
Smiling through your fake smile.
Treating me as if I don’t know
The difference between right and wrong
As if I don’t know my way.

How dare you treat me as if
I am low and beneath you
As if I have no common sense
As if I’m some sort of stupid child
Who doesn’t know better.

How dare you smile so sweet
And then talk behind my back
Thinking I don’t know how you are
Assuming I don’t see right through
Your artificial and corrupted soul.

How dare you give me these
Phony compliments you hand out
When I know words of spite
Pass your lips when I’m not here
When you think I won’t find out.

How dare you take me for granted
Laughing and chuckling at things I say
What are you going to do the day
When I’m not here to pick up your slack?
When I’m not here to save your name?

How dare you manipulate
Taking the credit of things done well
Knowing you didn’t do the work
Knowing that the ones under you
Deserve the praise.. but get none

How dare you think that I
Will be here forever waiting
I wish I could see your face when
I’m no longer there for you to use
When I’m free from your criticism.

How dare you presume I have to stay
That I can’t find somewhere better
I can find much better than you
I will find a place where I can strive
And then you will become a bad memory.





As if you can't tell.. I've had a BAD day at work. *chuckles* The good news.. I feel better now lol

I know this poem well...I have seen it, felt
it, done some of it and felt so terrible
for what I might have said wrong or hurtful.

YOU,  and so many others deserve the respect
of equality...And I think you have said it
so well.   thank you...and I too hope your
day is much brighter after today....

How dare he treats and affects you this way, for you have feelings and love and you deserve all your sweet heart deserves rather than this pain. (big hugggsssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Obviously, a VERY bad day...wait 'em out and wait for them to quit.  Then you can run the place.    *hugs* my friend.

Larry - Thanks for the bump  

Auther - I never should this to her.. I should have.


But I don't have to worry about dealing with her.. she fired me 3 weeks before Christmas..nice huh?  And for no reasonable reason.. That makes it even worse.

Look for the window!!  You know the old adage...when one door closes a window opens...

Sorry about the bad day.  I wish we didn't have them, but how else would we experience the fullness of life?

Great piece!!
