Don'T Ever! Poem by Bob Gibson

Don't ever put me down! I know you see me as a clown
those snide remarks, said in jest, why not treat me like all the rest!
I'm trying my best, to make the grade you know i call a spade a spade
its up to you! my borrowed friend is this where friendship will end?
I've had enough, I'll take no more, a beaten path lies to the door
you put me down, a laughing stock, your cruelty has run amok
no more, find another fool, giving pain is so uncool
the torment hurts, a lesson learned, so-called friends have now been spurned
