if a rubberband stretched to slingshot you back to me,
maybe then you'd dig deep underneath all the false accusations you'd jumped to so ignorantly.
too blinded by your own arrogance and problems to see,
scars upon skin from your doing.
so now peering down-too shocked to speak,
your hand reaches out pulling me into a forced journey.
on the way up-realizing I wasn't as innocent as I seemed,
letting tiny, jagged, sharp fragments of your actions get to me.

The author's comments:
This really isn't about a specific event in my life. It's just an exaggeration...kind of a made up story of whenever I've felt judged before someone took the time to get to know me. This poem is also about the same person who judged me changing into a better person.
