Don't ~ A Snarky Poem

Don't mistake my smile for weakness

Don't think my quietness is fear

Don't believe my laughter is forgiveness

I may cry but you won't see a tear.

Don't try to hide what you are deep inside

Don't cover it up with a smile

Don't give me manure and call it a rose

I can smell you through all your denial.

Don't take and take and take from me

Don't give me a 'thanks' in return

Don't offer praise for a job well done

I can sense your lack of concern.

Don't puff up with pride in public

Don't boast of things you've done

Don't take ownership of a group effort

I can tell you the world wasn't built by one.

Don't mistake these words for sour grapes

Don't think any friendships will last

Don't believe that others will fall at your feet

I may smile when they call you a pompous ass!
