I'm Having a Day Off

I'M HAVING A DAY OFF I am sick of all their fakeness, as everybody wants my time Their unforgiving fortitude makes for no reason, nor rhyme Thus cheapening the quality of all the things I want to write Endeavouring me into nothingness, but; the words of sh.te I would rather; write nothing than, try to fill the white space As my cheapness is only doubled so trying to write in haste Because there are outside forces; to which I need to sedate Who's effect on me seems to make my integrity as dissipate Be sure to only comment on the poem that truly has weight As I will return to delete any poem that no longer captivates Indiana Shaw . . . “Who just can’t believe the crap she has just written lately” . . . : (

I love your first line, "I am sick; of all their fakeness, as everybody wants my time." What a way to open. Guess this is life. I know how you feel. People can be so mean. Now I just move on. Nice people or no people for me. Enjoy your day writing away..............

Well, you are as only good as the people around you, they say, and bitterness wasn't doing me any good in the poetry stakes, it needed to stop, a lovely statement that; nice people or no people, so my isolation, begins . . . : /

Hello Indiana Shaw,I love your poetry. My comments on your poetry are not fake. You must feel free to write what you want.Let your pen flow with the words the pen wants to write. Did someone offend you? What happened? Write what you feel. You need a hug. Consider yourself hugged. i am your friend. Don't leave.
