you took the knife out of my back and stabbed me in the front.

i
am
not
forgetting

i never forget anything. and even when you think there's no reaction, you should try to remember that what you say and what you do, adds fuel to the fire. and baby, your almost pretty words and sweet smiles and heart-healing hugs don't make up for the time you took to knock me down. and the way you brushed the hair from my face and rested your chin on my head didn't erase what you said. but, i'm still standing and in the back of your mind i think you realize that i don't care what you think anymore. have fun with your observations because i    am    not    your    lab    rat. and i am not living my life in cages, running circles around my own self-worth and frantically wondering if everything i do and say is meeting your standards.

i
have
my
own
standards
