I looked away;
stupidity came way.
a birdseye view of my dismay
you may hear it ear to ear
people are not welcome here.
labeled a threat;
an eminent debt
friend or foe-I don't know
a full cup I do not crave;
and I won’t fill yours any day
social constructs pave the way
for something very not ok

- Comment from author about the poem: I was talking to my sister and somehow we trailed off to a conversation about a girl in my class. I do not like her but from my pov I treat her normally the same way I treat everyone else, which is a good middle ground between acquaintance and friend. if anything I treat her better then that, even though I don't want to spend time around people like her. I was told to make her feel like she belonged. but I'm not an asset to be thrown around

There is something very enticing with the rhyme and wording with this poem that draws the reader in. Nicely done and a fave
thank you very much, I was thrilled when my first published piece of poetry got its first comment

Social constructs definitely do have quite the effect on how people are perceived and how we treat them.
