When things go wrong I like to whine.  
Complaining’s free and feels so fine.  
So when I do find fault,
It’s moaning I exalt.  
Sip vinegar instead of wine.

I'm good at whining
What can I say

I whine a lot
Every day

There's always something
That makes me complain

O boy
Here I go whining again
My Dear Poet Mar 2022
Shaking the grains
of salt like rain
over my fries
I bite into a burger
of my free order
and find a sizzling fly
You may laugh
but it’s a little rough
when dandruff
is white icing
on a blueberry pie
A free meal
is a risky deal
and I tell you no lie
once I found there
a metre hair
I choke and nearly die
I pull up to the counter
complain to the waiter
who couldn’t give a jack
just a dingy diner
at the mall
with free meals
and worse of all
you can’t ask
for money back
free things come at a cost

We kept complaining,
Of how much work was remaining.
We do it to be obtaining,
Thinking we will one day be attaining...
Your Bliss!!!
Oh Swami Bapa we have done no such work,
To be of your worth,
Yet you Smile,
And hold our hand to the last mile....

Sometimes it’s hard to end a day, of heavy work, for little pay, then go to sleep, not much to say, and dream of nothing, as I lay, but work, work, work…
I like to complain, it makes me feel better!

So I’m daft?
Just because I blast music to escape
The complaining household I’m in
And this planet that appears to be
Ever so loud and uncaring
Yet they apologise
As if it'll solve world hunger

I’m daft becuase my cat like ears
Hear all the groans and sighs
Hearing all the kids in class scream
And you two talking about me
Under your wasted breath

I’m daft because I prefer to be
Alone in my room where I’m safe
And away from you both

So I’m daft
Just cos I barely eat meat
And prefer to read rock magazines
Than old books and girly magazines

I'm daft because I prefer to sleep in a bunk bed
With no one sleeping on the top bunk
Because I'm daft! I'm daft, that's why!
Inspired by something my mum called me while I nearly walked off without her.

i sit across a redwood
familiar strangers
who hear themselves asking how i am
but never hear me answering
i sit behind a redwood
tip tapping feet in the shadow
they want to tip tap on out
i sit beside redwoods
others with their own familiar strangers
who hear themselves asking how they are
but never hear them answering
strange how we bond over
the fact that no one
is bonding
happy thanksgiving to my
unfamiliar kin
here’s to another year of
never being thankful until
we feel guilty
about it.
the day after thanksgiving and no one is really thankful anymore. my mother likes to complain, and i suppose i do too.

I urgently need some sleep
And from my everyday sins I will keep
It's better to live in the world of fantasy
than in this fake world of love scarcity
I just hope that I will survive with these dreams
Because in my dreams I always screams
Nightmares attack me from left and right
but my guts tells me it's gonna be alright
Demons inside grow bigger and bigger
Attack my soul and my mind become weaker and it's a looser
Makes me angry and I wanna pull a trigger
Demons derive my spirit
And my soul is immersed in a bursting liquid as I call It
My flesh is weak and sins are conceived
give birth to death and my blessings, I won't receive
I left with nobody and I'm wholly vulnerable
It's only in my dreams where I'm untouchable
So don't blame me if I want to escape from reality
I can't keep holding on, I want mobility
I've been caring too much weight on my shoulder
mean while I'm very young to live like a soldier
But I learned that prayer is the only weapon
to defeat this weakest pawn
that makes Me sin and my angels fall
But since I've been calling "Jesus" "Jesus" now I'm tall
