She's surprisingly good at crocodile tears
She always cries whenever I stand up for myself
I say things like,
"You make me sadder than anyone else in the world"
Which is true, and today I said,
"You have the ability to be the meanest person in the world,
But also the ability to be the nicest-
It'd be a lot easier if you were only one."
Which is also true, but now she's sobbing
Acting as if I am the abuser and she is the abused
Even though any venom I may unintentionally spit
Is just because she's doing things I need to fight back against
She says what I call kindness, is just "superficial bullshit"
Including empathy and support for those who are hurting
And I told her that it proves how unkind she is
Since things like caring for others in their times of struggle
Isn't something that should need to be faked
For example, I feel bad that I made her cry
Even though I'm well aware that she's done worse to me
I still feel bad, because my empathy isn't superficial bullshit
