This Is Where Our Friendship Ends Poem by Paula Glynn

You thought my kindness was weakness
You thought I was innocent and a mannequin
That I was blind to the ways of the world
That I was a gullible little boy or girl.

You believed you had the right to hate me
You believed I was soft for little children
That I believed everything people told me
That I fell for your foolish games.

You thought you could decide my lifestyle
You thought you could steal my happy smile
You thought you could compete needlessly with me
You thought I deserved to cry and not be free.

But this is where our friendship ends
This is where I know you're using me for fun
But now these immature games are done
And it is me that has only just begun.
