I Quit

I Quit

A Poem by Tania Leigh
"

Ever have a day like this?

"

 

I finally lost my temper today

and said all of the things I wanted to say

to all of the people that had dared cross me,

and I laughed when they looked disbelievingly.

 

I conveniently lost my memory

and forgot all the things I’m supposed to be;

I was living in the moment for once in my life,

forgetting I’m a daughter, stepmother, and wife.

 

I seem to have lost my way somehow,

for there is no direction in the here and now.

I’m testing the old theory that ignorance is bliss;

look carefully at me, do you see something amiss?

 

I’ve finally gone and lost my mind,

and it is not something I desire to find.

I hereby resign from life’s venomous fray;

I’m halfway to insanity, and here is where I think I'll stay.

Good effort with the syllable count! It is not always about getting it exactly right! Lol.

This reminds me of the new cell phone commericals with the unlimited minutes. Maybe you can sell them a license for this poem for their next commercial! I think that it is Verizon! "I now have unlimited minutes! I want to tell off everybody that I know! Screw you, too!"

Peace and love,
Gabe

yeah, I have bad days like this from time to time. It must feels free to finally let loose of everything like that. But that's life for us. I like your poem~^^, so deep and complicated. Guess I'll read it several times latter on. Good job~

Spectacular... I know that feeling when you snap from all the stupidity and trampling on you when your trying to do the right thing... I always live between sane and insane, walking that razor edge keeps me from drowningin lifes ocean... a powerful and poetic vent.

this is good! I especially like how the rhyming scheme worked out. I used to try to make all of my poems rhyme, but I eventually gave up. So, kudos to that!
