Lying motionless on the sofa,
eyes fixated on the gray and purple cat clock perched on the mantle,
watching apathetically as the second hand
click click clicks,
stuck in place as the hour and the minute hands
sit sit sit,
as if intentionally to keep time from passing;
sit sit sitting
lie lie lying
stuck in place,
disappointment
click click clicking
in my mind,
so debilitated that
I can't even feel the passage of time,
the clock intentionally refraining from counting minutes so are empty.

I made this dish with love.
Dedicating my time from my favourite show.
Slicing every piece of that onion carefully into same sizes,
Fighting back the tears that it kept threatening me with,
I made this special dish just for you.
A special Sunday evening meal to make you smile.

But there you through out the entire feast,
Complaining about my choice from the menu.
Nearly losing my appetite I just pretended I couldn't hear.
It would have been nice to know how well my dish was,
But instead all I hear is you mummering about your toothache.

What about a little thank you,
A "hmmm" of some sort.
Now its how much ur tummy aches after eating my food.
I just can't stand it anymore.
What about my effort?
What about my feelings?
If I had known I would have just boiled everything up together and not caring about the little details to the taste.

You are welcome mom even though you didn't appreciate my effort after such a long day.

You told me
How much you love rain
Then why you always bring an umbrella?

You told me
Everybody has their demons
and you say we should fight it
But why you always
keeping your demon inside?

You told me
How to keep something important
You say my heart is important
Then why you broke it?

*******.
**** your stupid way of thinking too.
*******.
**** the dumb things you do.
*******.
**** if I only knew.
That all this time has gone down the drain.
Only to be left with this ******* pain.

A second, minute, moment, a while
To get this **** into your thick head.

Nothing matters, besides status and wealth
it's all been done, it's all been said

The weak, the poor are used as stepping stones
We are examples of living, breathing, ***** drones

Only one motive; to move to the top of the ladder pyramid
To use the ones who are so dumb founded
For not a second think of the disabled or them flaccid
**** it! Do you not see what a vulture you are?

You abuse the the gift of GOD
don't think near, think real far

You forget to look down and see what's crawling under you
Asking, begging, pleading, crying, crucifying in front of you

You look the other way when you see a crippled or disabled cartoon
Who asks nothing, but an identity too

A cry for humanity, an outburst that lingers
Stop racing, or at least take off the **** blinkers

To see your place in life, and help the needy
Please your Lord, by not being so greedy

Take a moment, re-evaluate your life
Be thankful, be giving, be loving, and caring

Appreciate it all for all what's it's worth
In the end we are all going back to the Sands and pits of the earth

Recognize your wealth of healthy status
And Realize of those who suffer from this prestige
Do not get irritated, this is not just another speech!

Take this as an enlightenment, or even as a wake up call
When God questions you, your judgement would not try to low ball

So take away from this a lesson learned
Where your tombstone will repeat of your deeds well earned!

Harshest Criticism is the BEST Criticism!!!

Their Eyes Are Glazed With Sadness
Their Hearts Cannot Feel My Madness
Even If I Scream And Shout
Even When I Am Filled To The Brim With Doubt
They Can't Control Me Anymore
They Cannot Break Down Any Of My Doors
When They Fail To Change Me And Who I Have Become
They Will Give Up, And Resolve To Beat The Disappointed Drum

Please
Leave me
Alone
I do not care
To see your
Face
Or hear your
Voice
