my day -
a chaotic
downward spiral
angry, entitled faces
glare at me
expect me to juggle
thirteen flaming tennis *****
while running
full speed ahead
to their every
beck and call
like,
when your computer
gets a virus
and fifty-five million tabs pop up
careening out of control
giving no chance
to even close out of one -
a clusterfuck of stress
when I finally get
my ten-minute break
I sit outside -
alone -
can't deal with
one more ******* person
just let me
smoke my cigarette
calm my anxiety
***** my head back in
in solitude
before walking back
through the gates of hell
don't smoke those,
you're killing yourself.
no
*******
way
I
had
no
idea
do I know you?
you're certainly not family,
nor a friend
definitely not
someone who gives a ****
about my health
or well-being
what if I want
to **** myself?
what if that's
my goal?
who ARE you
to tell me what to do?
maybe,
you think your input
will resonate inside of me
*******, he's right
put down the pack
for good
maybe,
you just want to feel
like you're a good person
boost your ego
thinking
you did something nice
helped
in one way
all you do
is make me want another
leave me the **** alone
a cigarette
is not an open invitation
to talk about my health
to comment on my life
****
off
I don't care what you say
your words
aren't important to me
just like I
am not important to you
mind your own
*******
business
angry, mean, cranky, what-*******-ever people need to learn to keep their mouths shut
