    Your ignorance
    and pretentious thoughts

    ^ Oh, that sounds so bold and empowering. As if you want to shout, or ground the person you're talking to... !!

    hide the reality that you are nothing
    but a speck of dirt

    ^ My God, haha the tone is getting louder and 'speck of dirt' has something in its vividness that feels so masculine! gotta love it.

    A meaningless matter of smaller proportion

    ^ I wonder how the person this piece is about feels when he reads such traits. He would have his jaw-dropping... and wont have balls to face you with that!! Bold bold.. moreeee!

    with an egotistic mind-set

    ^ a kid, his ego is big (reminds me of MOVES LIKE JAGGER, maroon 5)

    of a larger scale -
    to which I am grateful that I
    no longer associate myself with you

    ^ umm,, I like this too.. so much to handle of your strong words, but 'you' should be removed. It's unnecessary.

    Oh how I would love for
    your chauvinistic elements -
    to be paraded so that your
    moulded imperfections
    are exposed

    ^ that has to be my favorite stanza. The words used are tremendously gigantic is depth. And it flows great.

    Lead by a horse -
    you're reaching for the summit
    of Mount Everest

    ^ I can see another aspect of your descriptions, lovely lovely. New idea..

    for now...

    You can kiss my gluteus maximus

    ^ hhahahhaha, that feels amazing!! Gluteus Maximus feels so melodious,,, and funny at the same time.

    Because it's time
    to step down from Seabiscuit
    and face the undoubted truth

    ^ Seabiscuit?? mmm... I wonder what that is :p plz shoot me a pm about that. It looks amazing, but I cant get the clues from the context of the exact meaning... is it an idiom?

    That you
    are no longer wanted

    or loved by me

    ^ an amazing way to end that up. He's now smashed by this poemm... Way to go!

    ^ I loved these two opening stanza's. They seemed angry (well thats the way I read it) and it really cought my attention and made me want to read on

    "Oh how I would love for

    I liked how you kept these stanza's as equally intense as the first two. You really had me engorssed.

    "for now...

    You can kiss my gluteus maximus"

    ^ on a serious note I felt this whole kiss my arse attitude was very fitting with the tone of the poem but on a light hearted note I find the words gluteus maximus funny so you put a smile on my face :)

    "Because it's time
    to step down from Seabiscuit
    and face the undoubted truth

    That you
    are no longer wanted

    or loved by me"

    ^ for me the ending was the best bit. It showed the character in the poem standing on their own two feet and telling the other person straight that they were no longer welcome.

    An excellent write. Jam packed with attitude.

    5/5

    Your ignorance

    --- ouch! That person can't even be call dirt entirely but a speck of it.

    A meaningless matter of smaller proportion
    with an egotistic mind-set
    of a larger scale -
    to which I am grateful that I
    no longer associate myself with you

    --- I'm not sure. I'm in a dilemma but I think the "you" at the end distorts the flow.
    But then I read it again slowly and it's sort of ok. Aside from that I like the tone, it's kind of angrylish but happylish too.

    Oh how I would love for
    your chauvinistic elements -
    to be paraded so that your 
    moulded imperfections
    are exposed

    --- ohhh! I love the words chauvinistic elements.. And how they were only a show.

    Lead by a horse - 
    you're reaching for the summit
    of Mount Everest

    for now...

    You can kiss my gluteus maximus

    --- haha this sets an humoristic tone to the poem.

    Because it's time
    to step down from Seabiscuit
    and face the undoubted truth

    That you
    are no longer wanted

    or loved by me

    --- if that someone was reading this, I can't think of the reaction. probably a lot of emotions will emerge.

    Well done!

    I really enjoyed this poem, and I love the meaning of it. I like the strength I felt while reading, the strength of moving on and realizing how a person really is... and it was very inspiring... We all can relate to being around people who are pretentious and egotistical, so it was interesting to read your thoughts on this in your poem. I loved the opening stanza - it was setting everything straight with pure honesty... I like that!

    I like the second stanza too - you should be grateful that you're no longer associate with such a person! And leaving someone like that is not always easy, so be proud of yourself!

    I love that you used the word "chauvinistic" .. it is a perfect word to be used in this poem! And I think a lot of people who are like the way you described do act like that!

    I loveee how you wrote gluteus maximus! Honestly that part really cracked me up! It was a nicer and better of saying butt, and that's good! Because using the word butt would not have made the poem as good!

    And the ending was straightforward and nicely done! Great job! =)
