Accessories

This is a spoken word version of how it would feel to be used, as well as how people shouldn't be used and treated as objects. If that ever happens to you, you're better than that! Stand up for yourself and show whoever is mistreating you that you are worthy of better, don't deserve to be taken advantage of, and they are not worthy of being a part of your life. Enjoy!

Accessories…
When you think of an accessory, you generally associate it with being an object that you wear or random extra useful programs that you’d find on your computer…

Think again…

If you want to refer to a person as “being something”, you’d usually describe them as nice, kind, happy, pretty, shy, sweet, introverted, extroverted, whatever…
Accessories are supposed to be nice, just like how people are at least supposed to be…
They can be used, abused, worn out, and thrown away…
Or used until broken kind of like how you want to hold onto your car until it’s been driven into the ground and won’t even function anymore…

Now imagine a wallet…
Yes, it’s where people store their money, credit cards, and whatever else
You can get a fancy wallet or a cheap wallet, hold it in your purse or pocket, and run along with life as usual.

Just think about it for a second…

Take all these definitions of items you hold onto for daily use and apply that definition onto people…

People are used like a machine…
They work from sunrise to sunset for the pleasure of others to expect and receive little or nothing in return…
And when that does happen,
They don’t fully realize the extent of how poorly they’re being treated
Because the people on the using end look at the situation in terms of “how can I benefit from this person?”
You can’t just put a price tag on people and expect them to do all your nonsensical tasks for you and expect them to be fully productive after a certain point,
Because people have a limit of how much they’re willing to endure and once that line has been jumped over and stomped on a bunch of times, they end up saying “screw this” and just vanish…

People are used like a wallet…
If you take a highly successful individual and pair them off with a bunch of people who have nothing at all in their lives,
Those who have nothing will feed off their prey like a hungry shark who’s starving for its dinner, bite, and leave when there’s nothing left… and just suck all of your money away because they are miserable and have NOTHING for themselves and think it’s ok to be some kind of a leech to people…
And you give it to them because you want to do whatever you can to help the person get back on their feet, be happy, and share the same fun that you have with some hope of them at least being somewhat appreciative…
But meanwhile, it’s just an expense to you and costing you money
Just to have a friend who only sees you as a body and a wallet and nothing more…

Friends should be an ASSET… NOT an EXPENSE!

The lonesome warrior will either let it happen and sulk in the pain and misery or take a moment to realize that they are more worthy than being someone else’s dinner and vanish…

Because being used like an accessory hurts… it’s PAINFUL… it’s HORRIBLE… it’s an infliction of sheer hell, and treating the virtue of kindness as if someone just took a shit in your face…
So why do we even try to break people like how a three year-old rips the head off of a Barbie doll?
Because people are a bunch of selfish assholes who are only in it for themselves and don’t care about the implications of the situation on others…

Well, what do we do?

We need to unite and become stronger and find the right fish in the sea instead of letting ourselves take years and years of vicious pain and not do anything to change the situation in order to grow and better ourselves!
We need to break the cycle of improper use and realize that we aren’t a toy, machine, or wallet, we’re DEFINITELY NOT an accessory, and realize that we are BETTER than that!
We are STRONGER than that!
We are more POWERFUL than that!

What are you waiting for?
Stand up for yourself!
Speak out loud and have your voice heard!
It’s the only way to win the battle!
