Remember When You Did That To Me? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I am glad your point of view is broader now,
And you are beginning to 'see' things.
But don't expect your excitement,
To send chills up and down my spine.

I walked alone strengthening my backbone.
And no time to find to be spineless.
Something within me couldn't condone it.
I healed and mended from countless wounds,
You will not believe,
The treachery!

Don't get me wrong,
I am happy for you!
But you will discover this...
Once you 'see' things,
Others will find you obnoxious.
And at the stage you are at right now...
I can not bare to witness you go through it.
The gossips, the backstabbings.
And the friends you thought you had...
Will initiate this and from you they will split.

Remember when you did that to me?
