This Is How You Remind Me

          This Is How You Remind Me

The way you ask me politely in public,
The way you gently kiss my hand,
The way you laugh at jokes,
The way you put on a sick show.

The way you demand me,
The way you sneer,
The way you hide your true colors,
The way you order me around like I'm nothing.

The way you lie and accuse,
The way you charm and use,
The way you take for granted,
The way you stomp on everyone below you.

     _{This is how you remind me,
     Of who I'm not,
     And who I will never become.}
