Support Poem by Nikita Poffley

I’m sick and tried of being yelled at.
I’m sick and tired of having what’s important to me tossed aside.
I hate it here! I can’t stand it!
Everything is more important then what I want and need.
I ask a question but no one answers or I get told to think about it!
I hate it!

Did anyone think to look at it from my point of view?
Did anyone think to ask if I wanted support?
I’m always being put aside it feels.
It seem like everyone just looks at me and walks past.
I constantly feel like I’m in trouble or giving attitude but it’s just my way of crying out for help or some type of recognition!

Are you ashamed of me?
Do I embarrass you?
Is having me in your family humiliating?
Is that why you don’t want to watch me succeed?
Is that why you say that you’re busy?
When really you’re just looking for an excuse, a way out.
Don’t try and hide it, I can see that it’s not important to you.
So don’t act excited or enthused for me if you’re not,
If you’re just going to make up something to get out of it,
Just tell me you don’t want to be there.


So next time you tell me to think about it, don’t.
Just take the time to explain or re-explain something.
Put your ego aside and help!
Give me support because I can’t handle all of this craziness on my own!
Stand by me! Support me!
I need you there! I need you to be there when I fall.
Or when I want to have applause I want yours to be the loudest.
So be there! Be there to show that your there for me
