Shitty Poem.

Don't look at me and shy away
Like I'm a piece of trash on the road
or a cockroach on the floor.
Don't look at me and roll your eyes
and pretend that I can't see you,
or that I don't know what you mean.
Don't laugh at me,
thinking I don't know it's me you're laughing at,
thinking I mean nothing to anyone.
Don't just walk away from me,
when I have a question,
and need an answer that just might save my life.
Don't disregard the scars on my wrist
as a way to get attention
because they aren't.
Don't ignore this Shitty Poem
because this might be my last chance
to convince you that I'm here.
Don't be one of those people who assumes things about me
just because I like the color black
and wear a lot of makeup,
and glare a lot.
Get to know me,
maybe you'll learn something.
