People like you 

always babble on and on 

about how I should 

'see perspective' or 

how you have your reasons.

Whenever I have emotions or feeling, 

however, I'm seen as a demon. 

You can decide in a heartbeat 

to cut me out of your 

wildest dreams, 

while, if I do such a thing, 

I'm seen as mean. 

Well, you know what I think? 

You're justified, and ultimately 

a human,

but all too humanly 

are you fallible, and grimly. 

You are cowardly, self-absorbed, weak.

To say 'dehumanize' 

isn't sincere, I believe, 

because I do 

see you 

as a human in my eyes, 

and as human as all of humanity has summarized. 

You are a blight. 

I hope you enjoy

my ode to non-joy.
