Why Are You Poem by Oscar Robles

Why are you the way you are
You want respect
But you can’t even give it to yourself
You think that no one knows
You make yourself a commodity
Like an item upon a shelf
You take your actions
By the anger and hurt inside
Not thinking of the future
Talk you cannot hide
You upset the people around you
But you don’t seem to care
As long as you are getting what you want
It’s like no one else is there
You wonder why you’re thought of
The way you’re put out to be
Respect yourself and make decisions
Actions so dangerously
Sadness goes out to you
To see how you’ve become
Sad that I still love you
One so openly hussy
