Sympathetic Flattery
Why do you flatter me?
Its phony, and I hate it.
Perhaps I should be grateful,
But your stupidity disgusts my Everything.
Everything: my Rises and Falls,
My Comforts and Problems.
You think you can make my problems disappear
With luxuries and praises,
But I look past your lies---
I see the truth behind it all.
Do you really think,
That I am too delicate to hear the truth?
Do you seriously believe,
That I might break down and cry?
Cry if I hear that Im pathetic?
That I do nothing right?
That Im too lame to truly have a boyfriend?
That Im known as a geek?
Tell me, my pathetic flatterer,
Do you think I care?
About your petty little worship to me,
That only come from pity?
About those stupid dogs,
Who think Im a smart ass dork?
Well, now you know,
I DONT care.
Im not the one who's an idiot.
I wont grow up being stupid.
So please stop your crap,
I dont care much for flattery.
Especially if theyre just sympathetic lies,
Because it doesnt solve my problems,
As you seem to think,
I just causes more.
**Like 6 months ago, I broke up with my boyfriend, who supposedly was only going out because he felt sorry for me (but truly, I felt sorry for his stupidity and HE tried to use me as a tutor... we didnt do anything serious anyway), and then 3 months later this boy came along who said stuff like "Oh, you draw beautifully!" (i dont, theyre voodoo dolls) and "Your poems are so beautiful" (what the hell is beautiful about them) so i know he was just doing that because he was feeling sorry for me, so i confronted him, and he said i was to delicate, so this poem is basically what i said back
