It bothers me

It bothers me
a poem by Abby Nick

It bothers me that I am so tired
and I don't feel like writing anymore

It bothers me that she gave up on her lifelong commitment
and it somehow affects my relationships

It bothers me that you feel you can judge my relationship with Christ
and I didn't do anything wrong

It bothers me that I feel torn between two sides
and I can't help one without hurting the other

It bothers me that I am so patient
and yet others don't have to wait at all

It bothers me that you liked her picture
and hardly said anything to me at all

It bothers me that I have feelings for you despite our previously STRICTLY plutonic relationship
and I've been denying them all along

It bothers me that I will continue to deny
and you'll never feel them at all

It bothers me that it was THEIR disobedience
and someone constantly makes me feel like I am in the wrong

It bothers me that all these things bother me
and I'd rather just not care at all.

I just wrote this so that you'd notice.
YOU don't bother me at all.

I'm Abby and I have experiences that I feel will give others "empirical" knowledge (thanks philosophy 101) and I'm pretty cool. If you know me, congratulations...if you don't too bad for you. :( Get to know me.
