Well, I wrote this pretty quick so it kinda sucks. But I am pissed at some people so this came out. It had some words in it that I couldn't post, but I'm sure you'll be able to see where they were and use some imagination to figure them out. I’m worthless I have no use I can’t sit here anymore and take this abuse Expectations too high, take a glimpse in the mirror But you won’t turn around cause what you see is what you fear You’re no better than me, you’re just the same Another useless soul with a different last name You’re no better than me, you’re not above my head Be a hypocrite, talking ____, till the day that you’re dead You had your fun and you did your time So get off my back when I’m trying to get mine Thought you were saving and protecting me Blinded my eyes to what the world wanted me to see When I regained my sight It was like a change from day to night I stepped into the darkness and out of the light The right, and what was meant to be Strayed away from everything you wanted from me This is my life, it’ll be what I make it Tired of giving, gonna start taking it But I’m not going to take it from those who think they’re rich Politicians, teachers, parents, friends, they all gotta _____ Rich with what? Rich with wealth? Rich with knowledge? I don’t give a ____ about an ivy league college I got my education from hitting the streets 18, moved out, it couldn’t be beat Some people say I’m bad, and some lost hope Started smoking ____ cause I couldn’t cope But I’ve grown up some now and I’m feeling much better Finally addressing all you hypocrites in this letter If you can’t sit down and be there for a person Then keep your mouth shut cause it will only worsen So this is it between you and me I gave you a chance and you failed miserably Just walk through that door and take your nagging words with ya All I hear is silence now, I ain’t gonna miss ya No more ____ to talk No more confidence to lack Can finally reach around and take the knife out my back Look into the eyes of friends who I used to think were true I can finally stand up and say ____ you "Your anger is a gift"-Rage Against The Machine |

Wow, your first quote in your signature really seems to fit well with this poem. I liked the fact that you're standing up to this person... but even though you put underscores for the profane words, maybe next time we could do without  Just a thought. The blanks really take away from the emotions throughout the piece.Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this one. --Marie You think yourself a failure, but perhaps the biggest loss is winning. |

Very powerful and it is even better to see that you are saying such things to these people. You're not alone though so don't think that you are. This one I really like for the same reasons that you wrote it. Thanks for this and keep 'em coming. ~AF~ I'm a little teapot, short and stout! Here is my handle, here is my spout. *toot toot* |

Daaaannnnggg more power to ya. Can really feel the anger in this one, but it stayed reasonably structured which is coolio. Well keep writing and punch a few pillows. Liefhe alle ten spijte van duivel. |

More power to ya K. It reminded me of a real life, sorta old school rap song. Don't ask me why, I don't know. i know how you feel though.  Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself. That's what I live by. |

DAMN!!!  Holy "poo"! This ROCKED! UGH! I LOVE IT! The anger is over flowing. MAN! ANd it still manages to rhyme- too! I'm so damn impressed. Into the library this goes so I can oull it out when I,myself, need to vent as well. LOL. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |

Forgot to click the library button. I'm a D.A. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |
