And Venting...

A Poem by Harmony Best
"

Since I'm dying for an outlet...

"
Since I'm dying for an outlet I'm going to live on this
Excuse my language, please pardon me as I go through my list
Of s**t 
Bothering me, pissing me off 
Crowding my space, making me soft
Tugging my spirit, ripping through my cloth
Excuse me for this, cuz this is my sound off
After this moment I'll shut up my complaining
Because its a given, life is hard, its just a matter of maintaining
But this s**t here been resting on me hard 
And I just need one more b***h-fest before putting down my guards

I'm done wit being a mother to your children
Yep, I said it, cuz frustration's been buildin'
Those little people you birthed, they came from your womb
I hope you and their father realize that soon
Cuz I feel like a broken record, trying to get ya'll to see 
That I came to help not to be second mommy

Moving right along, I have no money
My days are long my pay is low and every sumthing, wants sumthing from me
Looking for a job in this town is like slaving in the blaring sun
Hot as hell and you can't hop two steps forward without going back one
Did I mention its HOT! so automatically I'm two shades darker
Bound to have a heat stroke just to cross the street to Parkers

"And another thing" is what my ex used to say
Even now with us trying to be friends he still feels the same way
WTF did I get my self into wit this one
I'm sure he love me but this s***s no longer fun
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared of his wrath
Cuz his mom was a victim to his dads hands in the past

Writing used to be a second language to me
I was fluent in the s**t to, this u best believe
But it seems like now a days I can't seem to get up
My weights up though and that really sucks
I can't stop eating... it is my comfort zone
Food is my friend, especially when I feel alone

I sometimes feel useless, I stress to much
I'm automatically in-love with another mans touch
I'm vulnerable, I'm hard to please
And somehow crying has become a daily routine for me
I'm confused, I want to move
But I'd be leaving so much behind if I do

I'm ok with being unsure, because I can pray on that
I had to get these things off my chest first before I'm on my mark to get set
Now I feel lifted, can't lie I feel good
I knew that if I focused on this here I would
And at this moment I can careless who relates
I made my move and now ... its checkmate.

I like your poem, and the name. Life does suck, screaming about it is therapy.
You took me out of my world and into yours, I felt what you felt. That’s very impressive. Great writing.
