A Doormat


Why do people believe that they can walk over me?

That they can do something, without my consent, and completely desreguard my feelings?

I stand my ground and make my values clear.

I respect others.

Why can't they respect me back?

Aren't I strong?

I am my own person.

An independent individual.

Then why am I constantly treated like a doormat.
