Like/Dislike

Being liked by one, one minute 

and then seeing that same one liking 

someone else, less likely to deserve 

such liking from one such as you. 

I can take it.

Being disliked by one because I 

myself dislike the liking you insist on 

displaying to said person a yet I must 

understand that he deserves some liking 

and some disliking but only from you. 

I can take it.

But being constantly reminded

that you like him with words, viewed 

through the public eye, but hearing from 

your seemingly like-minded lips 

that he should not be liked but rather 

disliked. 

I can’t take it. 

And being liked myself, then disliked 

then disliking myself because I dislike

someone you like, though you say you 

dislike him sometimes and like him other times. 

I can’t take it. 

So I’ll hide the likes, and I’ll hide the dislikes

And I’ll remove it all like its invisible. 

Like him and dislike him, 

I will not be affected. I will not like nor dislike 

myself for liking or disliking someone for liking

or disliking someone else.
