Respect Me, Please?

Just something I can't say to the face of one of my "friends"

Let me tell you

the story of 

someone

who doesn't know

when to 

stop

trying.

It starts in the morning,

every morning.

You know I have my friends,

yet

you drag me away

from them,

every morning.

Next is the walk to first period,

every walk to first period.

You know I don't like change

yet

you walk with me

and try to talk with me,

every walk to first period.

Next is the beginning of first period,

every beginning of first period.

You and I know you have a boyfriend

yet

you try to sit with me

and my friends,

every beginning of first period.

Next is lunch,

every lunch.

You know I have my friend group

yet

you sit with us and make me feel guilty 

when you don't participate in group conversations,

every lunch.

Next is the walk to fourth period,

every walk to fourth period.

I had my own friends to walk with

yet

I walk with you

since you aren't friends with them,

every walk to fourth period.

Next are the day I stay after school,

every time I stay after school.

I have things to do

yet

you shove yourself into

my afternoon plans,

every time I stay after school.

Why haven't you

figured out

I'm done with you:

your depression,

your suicidal stuff,

your clinginess.

I'm done with all of it.

So now,

I have a 

question

that I've been 

meaning

to ask you.

Here it is:

Respect me, please?

Author's Note

Someone I've called a friend this school year has been bugging the **** out of me. And I can't take it anymore, but I'm too kind of a person to her due to what she's been through to tell her to stop clinging to me. So I'm kinda venting my anger through this poem.

Sounds like this person. Is actually lonely and lost in themselves. And sees you and your mates as someone they can be themselves with and happy in around about way. And that once you were both close. But you moved on and so did they. But yet they still seem to hang with you. Like they get some sort of mental and emotional comfort from it. Do you know their family? As in can, you talk to them. Or even that person properly. This is a hard situation to be honest. I can see where you're coming from. They know you are a nice person. But also don't want to hurt them. As they are already deeply hurting and talking about suicide. At end of day. They are a human being. Who needs a pal. But also more help than what you can give them too. You are in a delicate situation. That is hard to deal with without upsetting them to much. Maybe go in and explain to someone in school in authority about this person. And see if they can help you with this person. In a nice way without drama and upset. And in private. Just an idea. Got to think about this one. careful.
They need proper help and attention. But don't be mean or nasty to them in the mean time. Gentle and nice. Sounds like they are on the edge.
