Used

You use me and throw me away

Like a recycled newspaper from yesterday

Why can't I mean more than that to you

I guess you are honest, that much is true

You only want parts of me

When will I learn, when will I see?

That I'm worth more than what you give

I deserve that happy ending to live

Just because I let you strip me down

Doesn't give you the right to order me around 

Fuck you and your selfish ways

Because I will learn to be strong and leave one day

I'll be gone and you will wonder why

She left without a single good-bye

But you deserve nothing more

Because you treated me like a common whore

So, yesterday's trash is all I'll be

But one day I will become free

Until then, use me all you want

But just remember some sins may haunt

You may not like what I have to say

But I will leave and be strong one day!

That is the right idea to change the world. Doing it without grandiose recognition, but recognising your strength of character is what is the difficult part---and knowing that is the reward as well. Hats off to honorable human beings! Bravo!

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
