Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

To Those Who Dont Care

To those it doesn’t concern 

Just a short note to the ones 
who say they care 
I find it funny to this day you 
say you was there 
All the times I was in need, and 
you turned ya head
Like to get my jaw set, ask a 
friend you had said 
How could I when it was my 
jaw that was broken
All the times I kept quiet not 
one word had I spoken 
All the many times you see but 
this is a quick note 
So I can’t list even a fraction 
funny huh but no joke 
I wanted to thank you for leaving 
me high and dry
And now you look surprised 
do you wonder why
Honestly, well I’m a strong 
woman now you see 
Because you’ve hardened 
my heart for me 
That’s why I blocked you 
the other day on line 
I don’t need that part of 
my family by design 
Been letting me down since I 
was five but it’s okay 
Just know I made it this far in life, 
I did it my way 
Yea but I taught my kids 
good family values 
It was rough, and not 
too many issues
But hey look I gotta run now 
I know I didn’t need to 
I just needed to say thank you, 
and I forgive you 

Signed 
Your daughter and 
Your sister

John Fleming November 14, 2020 at 3:34 PM Not so sure about the last two lines myself...hmmm...ponder. I much prefer the: "I just needed to say -- your going to get yours, mucker...and some too". Stuff all that forgiving business! Perhaps he might just happen, by accident of course, to stumble underneath a passing bus? Or accidentally trip off a platform into the path of an oncoming train? Let us most fervently hope so. Moral of the tale: once abused -- forever shy! Stay safe and snug, Poetess...and steer clear of scum. Big hug :) john

Regina Mcintosh October 24, 2020 at 6:08 AM So sad... Very sad. I feel the loss and sadness to my very core. God bless you dear friend

Mystic Rose Rose October 20, 2020 at 4:17 AM wow, this is one powerful poem that holds a punch in the gut, I can relate to this, so thank you for sharing it with me this morning. Be proud of who you have become, integrity is upmost and foremost in your life, and your children will thank you one day, There is an old saying that says, those that matter will stay by you, those that don`t, well they never mattered , you just didn`t know it. Sending love and prayers of inner peace dear Brenda.

Eve Roper October 14, 2020 at 10:16 PM Emotions spoken that needed to be said and strongly done. Life, to a lot of people is me, me. But if you are like me you are always there to share your hand and kind words, but when a storm comes and your left out in the cold all those that you were there for are not no more, all hiding in their own little worm hole. Enjoyed reading. Hugs Eve Eve Roper October 15, 2020 at 2:40 PM Family never leave they always come back Dribbling in and act like nothing happened Brenda Chiri October 14, 2020 at 10:24 PM Yea Eve I feel you that! Trust I know that very well...but still hey it took me so many years to just be done with the bull from family no less! My heart has hardened but it’s still left wide open for others kinda strange actually but hey I know what it’s like to struggle all my life I hate to see others struggle too! Thank my friend!;)

Susan Ashley October 14, 2020 at 7:25 PM Wow! What a powerful poignant potent pen you wield, my dear sissy!! You spill poetic ink without mercy and with all your fiery heart. Deep with scorching emotions, but that last line "and I forgive you" is fire! Such an intimate piece of personal strength, Dragon Fire. You shine in your big sissy's (..I know only by a few minute.. lol!) eyes :)) Love and hugs.. your sane and appreciative twisty sis Susan Ashley October 15, 2020 at 2:49 PM WK.. so you’ve noticed the absence of WW too? I’ve sent several soup mails but haven’t heard back yet.. our dear friend Brandy has too but to no avail.. Susan Ashley October 15, 2020 at 2:46 PM My dear crazy sissy, I have missed your insanity so much! I’m so sorry to know of your family issues. Though it is great inspiration for your dramatic fire-breathing poetry! Thank God for your strength and heart and intellect!! Brenda Chiri October 14, 2020 at 10:21 PM No I haven’t!

Thank you so much my sane sissy!;) Susan Ashley October 14, 2020 at 7:51 PM Aw! Nothing warms a sane sissy’s heart more than the love of an insane sissy.. lol! Me and the Unicorns love you too and miss you!! Have you heard from our bro bro lately? I’ve been on and off here for about two weeks and I haven’t seen him nor heard from him.. any insights? I’m so glad to see you tonight!! :)) Brenda Chiri October 14, 2020 at 7:33 PM Lmao! You see sane sissy that is why I am the insane sissy! Lol! Yea I had it out with them yesterday and this was my way of letting everything go that has been building over dang so many years and I did block all of them so I got my justice and wrote this to release all the bad energy! Thank you sissy see you are part of the family that I still love so much!:)
