Weaker
it seems like
people enjoy
making a weak person
weaker.
they sniff me out
as if i am trodden
rotten garbage
and step on me again
for good measure.
it makes them feel good.
to be in power
when it is so easy,
because it is so easy.
because, i, getting upset
so easily
is a character flaw of my own-
not they-
for making me upset.
and if i chose to get angry,
why then i am the oppressor.
not they.
and it seems like
i can never win.
i will simply decay into the earth
weather beaten,
from years of being walked all over.

As a fellow "trodden" spirit, thank you very much for your words.
Perhaps it was fate, that I would read your poem today (almost a month after you wrote it), as I have a meeting with my boss (today), because I lost my cool with a rude customer on the phone. They won, because they got the better of me.
I just wanted you to know, I appreciate knowing that I'm not alone.
thank you so much for your kind comment !
