I can hate people too.
Cloudless

Fuck you. You fucking let me go again.
 1
You let me down and it wasn’t easy.
 2
You dropped me like a fucking piece of trailer trash garbage
 3
and I don’t appreciate it.
 4
I won’t stand for it.
 5
I don’t need this again.
 6
 
 
Rejection:
 7
When asked about fears most people say:
 8
spiders, needles, snakes, the dark.
 9
But what they all mean is:
 10
rejection, rejection, rejection.
 11
 
 
Deny it all you want
 12
your core fear, around which you base all your actions
 13
is rejection.
 14
If not- then you’re the one we’ve all been rejecting.
 15
As a coping tool for this fear we all have,
 16
we say “Look,
 17
       I can hate people too”
 18
 
 
It’s not you who alone has this power to reject
 19
I can do it too, I can do it quicker, faster, better
 20
Rejection is mine, you can’t reject me.

I weird thing is; I kind of actually get this poem. In this odd way, I don't know how, it makes a little bit of sense... But I'm guessing that your mom isn't Governor Granholm? : )
 — HellsAngel

Haha! I like this...
 — kandiekay

Ahahaha, nope, she's definitely not- I don't even live in Michigan. I just have a bad habit of telling outrageous lies, more because I don't think anyone will believe them than because I want people to think my mom's the governor.

and Why a two? I mean I know it's not the best and most "poemy" of poems.. but  I dunno.. oh well.

This is strangly welcoming. very intriguing. I'm not too sure why but i like it.
 — emptyepitaph

Thank you <3
 — Cloudless

Discount all comments before this one- I have posted a new poem in place of an old one because I posted too many in a row, but I really wanted to get this one out of my system.
 — Cloudless

I don't know.

Meep
 — unknown

This is really less a poem and more a rant- sorry ya'll.
 — Cloudless

You know that if you delete, it gives you space to post a new poem immediately, right?
 — unknown

I like it too.  It makes a lot of sense.  And it IS a rant, but it's a very realistic and true rant.  I love how you used the word "poem-y!"  That's adorable!
 — starr

Hah- thanks Starr, its based on true occurences.
 — Cloudless

that is not a good peom it suxxxxxxxxxx
 — unknown

leave out the footnote, it makes all the passion here seem lame. This is good stuff, but it doesn't flow like a poem. Maybe a short story.
 — unknown

If I ever write a short story, I'll be sure to include it- or maybe I will write one and base it around the situation that inspired this. and the footnote is gone
 — Cloudless

better now. And yes, do write a short story, you're good at getting intensity of feeling across, and understand how people work.
 — unknown

Fucking fuck you ,you fucking fucked me again, you fucking fucked-up bitch.

I like your original use of words.
 — unknown

I like it as well.
