Poetry Feature 13: The Anger of Kindness

Hello everyone. It's Queen of Spades. It's Day 13 of National Poetry Month. The showcase is still on Spaded Truths: Themes and Proclamations.

Today I address the question, "If kindness got angry, what would it look like?" Find out in The Anger of Kindness.

All I wanted
 Was to know what it was like
 To touch lives.
 To deliver a smile
 Or put a light in someone’s eyes.
 
 I never really
 Asked for much
 Except for a simple “Thank You”
 And someday,
 For the love to be returned.
 
 But the more I give,
 The more you take;
 The more I care,
 The more you forsake.
 
 Although you’re careless
 And treat me as if I’m
 Just a word:
 
 I’m much more than that!
 
 I have broken barriers
 Tougher than Plutonium.
 I have moved mountains
 That before wouldn’t budge.
 
 I can magnify third eyes
 To make differences
 Seem not that strange.
 
 Yet, you pretend
 Not to know my name.
 
 You go along with what’s wrong
 Because embracing me
 Makes you feel ashamed.
 
 You turn me away
 Just to see guns blaze
 Or the degradation
 Of a woman looking sexy.
 
 You cut me off:
 Giving me only two minutes of time.
 Sports and weather get five each
 With the rest focused on crime.
 
 It hurts too much to love you
 And keep getting rejected by you.
 With tears forming in my eyes,
 I bid you forever, goodbye.
