Pushed

The pressure, shoving me, tormenting me to

Go away, away from those I hold close.

Is it them? Those, my companions that

Push me away, seeming as if I’ve

Wronged them?

What have I done-have I unknowingly

Made an enemy of my friends? The

Looks, the whispers, the feeling of

Un-want causes me pain, is that what

They want?

Please! I shout, I scream, I just want

Some comfort from this feeling,

Tell me oh wise ones, what

Have I done to be pushed away

From you?

Stop this charade, I will not

Be where I am unwanted, but

You have to step up and push me

Away, tell me to leave, why

Don’t you?

Please, just stop, and think about

What I have said, don’t play games,

Tell me if you really care, tell me

If you wish for me to stay-

Tell me!
