Where The Horseshoe Closes

I have somehow been indoctrinated into household ecologies most people never cross between. We Americans are often grimly divided, so I found it first puzzling, then comical how… well -
The same we all are.
Symmetrical Mindsets That I Noted between Our Most and Least Privileged 1%
(from a first‑person perspective)
Strangers and the Government give me things for free. I find this amusing as I don't need help (wait, do I need help??).
*Doesn't pay taxes*
People make exceptions to the rules for me, I think because they are sort of afraid.
Many fear me (I am not sure why?). I don't think that they should as I am only human as well.
Passersby ask inappropriately intrusive and personal questions. It doesn't cause them discomfort to do so (what is that like?!).
In a manner quite unique (and difficult to verbalize), I see clearly what and who plagues our world. Yet everyone around me (oh, no, likely me, too?) does not (cannot? will not?) do anything about it.
I've come to the eerie realization that I'm the only true friend around here…
And another: I’m mostly surrounded by people that solely desire the benefits of the resources that accompany an existence in my proximity.
“Drugs! Drugs! Drugs!”
My community will stand inches away while I experience every type of abuse (yes, the gritty, nasty ones, too) and be silent. Complacent… My God, they even watch.
Many default to the assumption that I'm around to rob them of… something; a projection on their part that I realize too late. They rob me, all the while calling me ‘sister’ or ‘love’.
I seek out a chosen family and find one in people! With promises to love me eternally. One random weekday they vanish, though; it's a searing evisceration. I am vanquished to rot. Then I am very, very sad really, really deep down.
Repeat in whichever order you'd like. I like to notice something everytime I do.
