Explain to me please…




Explain to me please…

Explain to me,
 Let know me of why
 because I can't discover a purpose
 for you to make me cry

Does all God's creatures circle you?
 I believe not
 you ask for reverence
 through every single battle tussled

Are you as unknowing
 as you are tenacious
 because you use bad language and shout
 and awake with contempt

What did I do to you
 to generate all this unhappiness?
 Your possessiveness devours you
 you've doomed your destiny

I have under no circumstances seen him cheat
 He has no mistakes,
 but are you Mister Picture-perfect
 By means of God's holy bless?

For the reason that
 I no longer have belief
 quarreling about a dumb fork
 that's just when you bring into being

You don't contribute, you take
 you like to lecture one more
 I forgot, you're at all times right
 because you're Mister Picture-perfect?

Do you in good conscience believe
 you've warranted that tag?
 With a subjective view
 you bring me dishonor

Every argument you make
 Just displays you don't warrant
 any “reverence”
 You've got more or less nerve

Don't show the pity pass
 the marriage is in pieces
 and it's your whole doing
 you've made your cot

Come back to me in years
 after you've finally grown-up
 you have no more control

 You showed with me no love
 I can never open my heart to you
 you've not ever been my friend
 and I've not ever trusted you

Your annoyance bloodsuckers onto me
 making me scorch with weeping
 I don't want you take blood suckering self on

To the next victim…

Diane JacksonBaul

I use poetry to release my inner most deep feelings. Poetry is my outlet to all. Its my therapy, for all that I have gone through and gonna go through.. A place where I'm able to say what I want. Whether criticized or agreed upon. Somewhere I can totally let down my hair. Think as I wish, Think as I can. Somewhere i can be me, and not care who knows, or sees me. No judgement, complete freedom to be me. more…
