Silly Little "Feelings"

by Scum Queen   Jul 18, 2012


Dark and brooding and full of pain
Burning with anger she cries in the rain
"Screw all this bulls--t
and screw my dumb life"
The broody girl thinks
That she has endured so much strife

Perhaps some boy left her
Or maybe a friend
did something stupid
or oh then again
perhaps her dad said something
mean by mistake
Oh how much more of this life can she take!

School's full of posers
and a-sholes
and jocks
and bimbos
and "cool kids"
and
and people with friends
Oh, this torment, when shall it end!

She paces under the street light
Soaking in the rain
This day has been awful
she thinks to herself
"just like any other" - which is basically true
And just like every other
She's spent it blue
In the corner
By herself
Contempt on her face

The light slightly flickers
as her eyes fill with tears
And she stomps as she paces
Her insecurities and fears
Rise to the surface
- you don't care, nor do I
But to her, just for now, they're everything
As she sits down to cry.

    Thank you for your honesty Alex- I admire that and I too have written something in such a way, that the reader may take a totally different angle on, and thats the beauty of poetry... it can take many different paths and avenues after posting.. thank you again for posting this :-)

    Alex- You penned a poem I think any young lady or even us old ladies can relate to... guys as well... those "silly" little things are actually big things in the heart of the person who is experiencing them at the moment... the ending touched me... I too have sat in the rain crying, feeling like I was alone with my silly thoughts and feelings... very powerful piece!!

      I actually wrote this for a laugh while sleep deprived. It's, uh, kind of a third person pastiche of a lot of really bad, whiny poetry I've seen on this site. So it's... interesting that someone over the age of 15 read it the way you did.
      And I do just mean interesting. I by no means say this to invalidate your reading. My intention may not have been to create something sincere or touching, but I do try to inject genuine humanity into everything I write, and it's actually fantastic to hear, from an adult, that regardless of why I wrote this, enough genuine empathy comes through to create something "powerful".
