I don't need nor want...

By Karyn Indursky

I don't need nor want 
people 
throwing their stuff at me, 
yelling at me, 
blaming me for everything, 
being irresponsible, 
having no initiative, 
whining, 
mocking others, 
complaining about things without trying to resolve them, 
laughing at someone else's expense, 
rude comments directed at and about me, 
to be treated as less than a person, 
disrespecting me over my occupation and race, 
excluding me from things, 
acting like I don't matter, 
ignoring what I think, say, and feel, 
and all those little things 
that make me feel less than human 
when I shouldn't.
