Notes About The Poem

Seriously, bro

I love the way you cleverly
pontificate and think you know it all ~
so quick to dole out your advice.

I close my eyes,
take a deep breath
'cause here we go again.

Under the guise of altruism,
you rank right up there with other pests ~
wish there was a prize for 'most annoying'.

I close my eyes,
take a deep breath
'cause here we go again.

You don't need any details
the solution's already in your head ~
who wants any of the facts?!

I close my eyes,
take a deep breath
'cause here we go again.

Do you even hear yourself ~
your words and tone are laughable
but there's no stopping you.

I close my eyes,
take a deep breath
'cause here we go again.

Kim Rodrigues July 29, 2025 at 11:03 AM whooo…this gets under your skin. Some do. I have to take a breath, walk away, calm and come back. sara Etgen-Baker July 30, 2025 at 4:45 PM I agree....walking away and calming down is my go-to coping skill both in personal relationships as well as while teaching.
