Angry Feelings

How dare you judge me
When you don't have facts!
How dare you scold me
And then turn your backs.

Many times in the past.
I've checked on you,
When my chores were vast.

Now I am the one
Needing comforting words,
But all I get are
Unspoken reprimand words.

Not a "missed you today"
Or "can I help you" I hear
Only unspoken thoughts
That pierce like a spear.

I think it is time
For me to move on
For those I thought friends,
Turned out to be foes.
