Nothing Personal Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

I heard that you don't give a listening ear to him no more
Well, he is not the first of your allies that you label a friend,
Only to get back at you and bring you down again

They say that your spirituality no longer exposes your soft spot
The same spot that boys once use to love to prick and make fun of
Your body you always said was a temple of the most high,
But look how easy they bring you down again

It's nothing personal, but even so, I wouldn't help but wonder
If all this tuition your parents pay, doesn't afford you class
At least it should afford you sense and intuition
Of who you really are, and what your heart says through your eyes

It's nothing personal, but your worth is fallen
You try to bring back the days of your grace
But along the way, you feel that your scar still shows
Your heart and soul is still out there
But deep inside lies the hurt
Deep wounds to nurse and all you feel is betrayal
