The Indignant Poetess

Words You Said

\"Even a prostitute wouldn\'t put herself in an abusive relationship,\"
you said.

\"I got jealous when I saw your younger cousin take up driving lessons.
How come she does it,
but you don\'t?\"
you said.

\"That outfit you are wearing is far too revealing.
Don\'t be surprised if you get sexually harassed,\"
you said.

\"I shouldn\'t have helped you follow your dreams.
It\'s my fault you turned out this way,\"
you said.

\"It\'s been weeks since your dad died.
Why are you still crying?\"
you said.

\"Those girls don\'t want to be friends with you anymore?
What did you do?\"
you said.

\"Your stretch marks look like zebra marks,\"
you say.

\"I saw someone at the mall with red hair,
and I remembered you have red hair...
that\'s funny!
You should probably dye it a different color,\"
you said.

\"You don\'t want to go see a doctor?
I just think you need to see a specialist,
you know...
for your anger problems,\"
you said.

\"You need to do something with your life.
Look where you got yourself trying to make your own choices,\"
you said.

By the time you finally have something nice to say,
I won\'t be there to hear it.
