Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

My Pain Is Not Funny

My pain is not funny
I am not a toy
for your amusement

You can say
over and over again
that it's only a joke

But I am not laughing

I'm crying
SCREAMING
and that is not funny

Please stop taking my things
Please stop moving them
Please stay out of my personal space
Please leave me alone

Those are boundaries
and ignoring them
might make you laugh
but it tears me apart

Please respect my boundaries
Please stop actively causing me pain
Because my pain hurts
And it
is
not
funny
