On Your “Political” Poem About Something I Actually Lived Through

You’re insulted enough to swear
when you realize I don’t care
that you tried to empathize
with the dark behind my eyes.

I am sorry you’re insulted;
next time I’ll bet I’m not consulted.
Easier to be outraged
if your anger can’t be upstaged.

Please, write on what you feel.
Even if it’s not quite real.
If you want to emote, do;
just be sure it’s about you.
