Poetry: I am a person

I am a person
Not a bin for your waste
I am a person
Not a dartboard for your anger
I am a person
Not a lake to drown your sorrows
I am a person
Not a meaningless object you can smash or break
I am a person
Not something on the floor to walk right over
I am a person
Not a mindless insect you can look right down at
I am a person
Not a clown you can laugh at
I am a person
Not a thing you can control
I am a person
Not your personal punchbag
I am a person
Have you got it yet?!
