double standards

what makes your jokes any less distracting
just because there were 2 laughing?
what makes me a disturbance just when
you were the one who started being so noisy?
i resisted the temptation to ssHh you to silence,
but you gave me the self-righteous smirk
and told me to shut up.

if asking after people we call friends
comes as a surprise intrusion to them;
a prying eye into their lives.
what constitute friendship?
you mean you call someone
someone doesn't care a friend?

then it hit me that i must be slow to anger
yes nothing removes my basis for feeling angry
but haven't it occurred to me
that the same things happen
over and over and over again.
people think you frivalous,
busybody, hyper-sensitive.
wadever.

so really. get a grip. stop feeling so negative.
gee. i am getting better at this huh?
