A Shout Into the Void

I shout at Dad, I shout at Mum I shout because my life's humdrum a snap snap snapping teen snare drum I was so dumb; I was so dumb. I shout at him, them, and others each and everyone that smothers I want my life, not another's stupid mothers, stupid mothers I shout aloud inside my mind. I lost my job, was I sidelined? my entire life is undermined credit declined, credit declined. I shout because I have to eat I sell myself like rancid meat I learn to practice self-deceit walking the street, walking the street. I shout because I'm so annoyed this stupid world is so devoid of feelings about life destroyed into the void, into the void.

Terry, I really like your poem. It is so typical of the way I think when something goes terribly wrong in my life...and it does from time to time. Boy, can I get really annoyed! Good writing, my friend.

Thank you Milt, I have been off here for a few weeks, partly a blank, partly busy, partly family stuff, glad to be back and writing. I really need to check on what all you guys have been writing.
