Meter can mean more to a rhymed poem than the rhyming. You intent is very good. You meter errors destroy the building of sympathetic emotion. I won't go deeply into meter, but I will count simply beats. When you get the beats right, then you build your hard/soft emphasis pattern.
Line.
1. 9 beats
2. 11 beats
3. 9 beats
4. 6 beats
5. 7 beats
6 6 beats
7 6 beats
8 7 beats
You asked for thought, not praise.

I think that rhyme should only be used when it is serving a definite purpose, and here it is only distracting. Try reading some contemporary poetry to get a feeling for ways to write organic, non-rhyming poetry--almost always, it's more effective. Pablo Neruda is my favorite, but you should also look up Jim McGarrah--his book Bringing the Voodoo Down is on Amazon and he's brilliant. Keep writing!

Who are you talking to? What are you talking about? How was this person unfair? What game is this person playing? How is this person demeaning?
I'm sorry, but it doesn't make sense to the reader. Even your feelings aren't clearly expressed. You are obviously upset, but we don't know to what extent, or why. Some person has upset you, but we don't know how, or what events took place. What things will always be the same? The relationship? The way they treat you? The way you feel?
