Fickle

You called me again today

With yet another of your problems

And I wondered (not for the first time)

Why I even bother

 

You call me all the time

Yet all you do is complain

Talk bad about those around you

Never anything good to say

 

You tell me how your health fails

An no one even cares

Everyone try's to run you life

You can deal without them there

 

You want to get back on your feet

But all you seem to do is fall

And when you tell that man "No"

Back to his arms "he makes" you crawl

 

Nothing seems to go right

And you're always getting screwed

But have you ever thought

You problem might be you

 

Additude determines altitude

Someone once said

So with a change of additude

You could put your problems to bed

 

I am tired of listening

Nodding and giving advise

That I have previously repeated

(not just once or twice)

 

The only one that can change your life

Happens to be you

So get your mind set

Figure out what you want to do

 

'Cause sooner or later when you call

I won't be able to be there

For you to b***h and complain to

And your negativity to share

 

And when that finally happens

You'll really be in a pickle

Unless you get it together

And stop being so damn fickle!

Love it! I don't even know who you are talking to but girl I have that friend. So hard. And this piece flows so well it was almost like conversation, there was absolutely no disruption in the flow by the rhymes. Everything rhymed very well but the flow was so good you almost could not tell it was rhyming! Great write, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give this to the person it's about, if about anyone.

I have a friend or two I could say this to... Great Write!

[O!]

I hope uve been able to say this to ur friend's face....coz sometimes such ppl need an awakening more than empathy. This poem of urs speaks so much truth and I so believe that 'even if something does occur in ur life due to someone else, u still have to look at urself and change urself, ur attitude coz u shouldnt let the other person get to u'.......
im thrilled to see that msg here.....

i only dunno what 'additude' means...?

btw....a friend of mine who empathised with her sister all the time..but last week she turned around and slapped her in the face in the way uve done in ur poem...and there is change already!

x,
O!
