You're mature beyond your age? So all these years I've been fooled Into believing that with maturity comes decency, A sense of consideration? Even a child knows how to share. Yes, children can play fairly. Why can't you, old man? You say I'm too nice? You've never known anyone so giving? Is that why you take so much? I only offer what is asked of me Very passively, in sideways glances In "Oh, no. Never mind"s. I only give myself. No! No! No! old man! I'm afraid this will not stand! I can no longer shoulder your demands.
Your work is always so full of complex feelings. I enjoyed the reclaiming of integrity at the end and the clear questioning nature throughout. Thank you for sharing this.
Concepts of decency beleaguer our passivity, just as much as the execution of opportunistic tyrranny undermines our aggressive passion transmittions. Are we alive enough to feed the Vampire and watch it choke on the overflow, to make it pay for its gluttony? Are we strong enough to walk away and watch it convulse with the pain of withdrawal? Yes, oh, yes, yes, yes, we certainly are, strong, and complete. We have accomplished our feat. eMBeMLaHV!
As always, thank you both very much. And a funny note, when I did stand up for myself in real life, as at the end of the poem, he moved out the next day lol. Oh, men. They're so funny.
great poem, full of raw passion; and yes, the manipulator's out there don't like it when they've been exposed and their victim empowers themselves, resolved to not be that victim anymore. And girls move out just as fast when their game's up, too
Oh, I'm not implying that girls are perfect either. I just haven't had much contact with them. Chicks hate me for some reason lol. And I know I'm mad and hurt a lot, but I do let it happen to me. I'm an easy target .
