*This is a vent towards my fiance's step dad, not my readers*


I'm not everyone's favorite.
Which honestly I don't need to be.
I'm not concerned with you being happy.
You think you're all high and mighty.
Like you do no wrong.
Reality check buddy, you do.
If you want to vent,
be my guest.
I will listen, but can't guarantee,
I'll give a damn, when you're done talking.

I will probably look at you,
smile a bit,
then say...
"feel better?" or "Have a nice day."
There is no reason for me to impress
someone who won't give me respect.
My time is way more precious.

So here it is, in black and white.
I'll admit when I am wrong,
Show joy in being right.
If you like me, great.
If you don't oh well.
No sleep shall be lost this or any other night.

You have jumped on anyone who reads your poem. That smells like an insecurity complex. Just my take on it. Anger is full of yupshit.

I apologize if my readers feel jumped on this was actually a vent about my fiancé's step dad.

J.J.My first read gave the same feeling as Jerry had. I wondered why? Maybe if your last line of explanation was put on top we would have understood to whom it was directed. I understand your frustration, venting sometimes helps.  Jo
