Listen to me

I'm annoyed

Crack goes the branch above my head

Dropped down, leaving a bump bright and red

I could have sworn I told it to stay there

Yet it disregarded my words 

Crunch goes the leaves below my feet

Got in my path, making a mess

I told them to stay quiet so I could sleep

But they didn't listen to what I said

Author's Note

I have a rather bothersome person in my roleplays on a certain site. So I wrote some vent poetry xD I'm mean aren't I.

LOL, this is a venting piece about someone on a role-play site. How brilliant.

Funny thing is that this uhhh... This is amazingly encapsulating of life.

Listen to me, life! Do the things I want you to do!!!

But... alas, life doesn't always listen or adhere to our plans.

i think there is a certain charm about this poem ...as the speaker acknowledges the anger but knows it is perhaps just a bit uncalled for ... and honest and harmless way to get it all out .. i like this a lot! personality conflicts can be so very frustrating ... when i started my nursing career my mentor grated my edges constantly ... tho abrasive he was also very experienced and capable and i learned a lot from him ..he had a habit of breaching my personal space every time he talked to me ..like one foot away .. it annoyed me to no end so i started to put things between us (like the nurses station .. a chair ..hospital bed ... whatever was handy but he simply came around them and there he was again ..right in my face talking away .. oblivious ... i actually put my hands out at arms length one time and stopped him ..he did stop and looked rather puzzled so thinking he got the message i lowered my arms and sure enough ..he followed them right in and kept on talking ... i gave up my effort to change him and changing myself accepted this behavior ... funny thing ..by embracing him he stopped ;))

No, you're not mean - you're human. You wrote a poem to vent your emotions through a creative outlet instead of attacking the person, and you even used metaphors instead of directly implicating a human being. I like the interactions with leaves and a branch in this poem - they made me laugh. (Please don't take that as I'm laughing at you or your situation, because I agree that that can be extremely frustrating and annoying. It's just the image of someone getting irritated at natural objects that I find funny.) I'm sorry that you are going through this, and I hope it gets better. But on the positive side, a lovely bit of poetry came out of it. Nice work!

You made your point.
"I told them to stay quiet so I could sleep
But they didn't listen to what I said"
Nice tale told with a honest ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
