Remarks

Don’t tread on my toes I am not a lamp

You don’t get to treat me like a rock in the room

No one gets to treat me like I am some dirt that they brush off

If you want to come near me be it in love or friendship know that I am not easy to use or pass off for something better.

If you want to be around me bring your all, bring your fire and bring your calm.

Connections are not trivial things to drop or pick up whenever you feel

Don’t treat me like a speck of dust in the corner, telling me you love me and care about me but then dusting me away as though I am a nonsense.

I am a human

I have a heart

I have a soul

You are lucky

This life is too short to spend with people who put your fire out

So if you do not want to respect me, then please take your wandering feet and walk out the door.
