Best Passive Aggressive Poems

holding her head still
she’s offended
her face frozen
expressionless
like she practiced
a thousand times
her teeth clenched
veins popping at her temple
she bites her lip
appalled
enraged
but not a word
poisoned darts
tucked in her pocket

I don't want to hear,
I don't want to know.
Your life is a Soap Opera,
like a T.V. show.

Your life is a mess.
I can read the signs
but I have trouble keeping track
of my own plot lines.

No one's life runs smooth.
We all have our issues.
I needn't hear yours

puzzles puzzles
they write in rhyme 
encrypted messages
poisoned in hate
guesses in the dark
surmising
unable to say the truth
denying
hiding
play nice
yet still
there is the knife
Friendship taken for more
what awful gore
innuendos galore

the truth is out
read the encryptions
read the lines
following suit
following suit
this message
will self destruct

IN YOUR MIND

taking a class on 
being assertive with love 
I've been so confused

mixed up passive with
whimpy and aggressive with 
assertive 'til now

no wonder the life-
less devestation I've left
in my dreadful wake

passive/aggressive
is my middle name for sure
been without a clue

childhood needs unmet
caused me to rush about to

Global warming fuels climate change;
that's why the weather is acting strange.

Pollution and deforestation;
now affects every single nation.

Our planet is becoming crowded;
folks are scared; their judgment is clouded.

Xenophobia is on the rise;
people harbor hatred in their eyes.

Everyone, it seems, is filled with rage;
we're behaving like rats...

Isn’t it fun to be passive aggressive?
Subtle and biting, rather impressive!
Fact-free and spiritually dispossessive
Use of hyperbole: deathly excessive
Squeezed that one in, somewhat digressive
Some might say that crosses to the transgressive
(Authoritatively, overexpressive)
Now, I’m just bordering on the obsessive,
Cycling up and down, manic-depressive.
Or maybe I’m battling imunosuppressives;
Time...

Silently undermining
Oh, what sneaky saboteur! 
Simmering vindictiveness
'Neath his warm veneer

Revenge is so sweet
When you have no clue
That I even sought it
Against you and even
Sweeter when you never
Even knew I was
Infuriated with you
In the first place
It is more thrilling when
You never saw it coming
Revenge is so nice
When you pay the price
For your misdeeds
Living in ignorance

Bully me, yours truly 
never ordained, gifted, or blessed
with mien mean characteristic
evoking, jump/kickstarting,
representing, nor zapping
friend or foe courtesy fiery intimidation
if anything aura, charisma, dogma, and karma
emanating, issuing, and oozing out
body electric of one heretofore bookish fellow
immediately facilitates characterization
hashtagged lucubration and manifestation of quietude.

Though true agitation...

Please don’t create all the drama 
and then sit and ask why it’s there.
Say it’s okay but clearly it’s not 
start in on the texting girl just stop. 
It’s clear that you won’t just say it,
veracious words are absent here.
Either shoot straight or stay silent....

You give me questions.
Most of which I can answer.
Tested. Algebra......

Throw an arrow, remember to sharpen it before it reaches it's end target 
Who is naïve enough to cross your parameters of closeness 
Capture this person whose mere sight you adore 
Aim at their legs, your prey will land face first on the floor 

Don't...
