Best Ungrateful Poems

I woke up that day with tears in my eyes,
after I heard about your father's demise.
Guess you've never understood,
the point of being his blood.

I remember when your mother left,
how he was totally bereft.
Ran off with the man next door,
not once did he call her a...

Self righteous there, he stands and preens, this perfect specimen
Due to Mothers nurturing, alive and prospering.
Forgotten are the years of toil, the Mothers care and love
The Brother  and the Sister, he keeps his head above
What  poison foul  infects his blood, and whispers...

Why is it when you go out of your way
To help someone brighten their day
Or solve a problem that has things in disarray
They want to play you as if to say
You owe them in some superficial way

Putting on some kind of poor me display
Overshadowing the...

There was never just a you or a me it

You walked through my front door 
and into my life we stayed friends 
from the start theres still no end 
today, Months went by feelings grew 
stronger the time...

She's thirty-three, single,
her Mom babysits her
five year old son.
She reassures herself it's
just two more hours,
then it's the blessed weekend.
Which means delicious sleep.
She has no nest egg,
she's just getting by.

There is one kind aging matron
who makes her lunch when she
cleans her large stately home.
Yet, other well-to-do...

Do not stand on my grave and weep 
My adult children: you see 
I was alive for 92 years, 
You never came to visit or act like you care 
I was there, I never move away 
I was the one who put food on the...

If my child came to me in need
with confidence that I would heed
his plea, responding right away,
giving my help without delay,

if then he took my gift and left,
would I not feel a bit bereft
if he gave  no more thought to me
until one more emergency?

Is...

I blamed you and I know now that I shouldn’t have.
I am sorry.
But he was never there.
An empty seat 
at the dinner table every night,
a lonely walk down the aisle at my wedding,
was all he ever was to me.
I never got the chance to yell...

Without them I’d tip
Fall and perhaps break my nose
Yet still I stub them...

Patiently waiting....
Seeing cloud burst over me,
Rain...as my reward!...

I got a fetish for neglecting things that I should cherish.
Once I realize its true value, those moments have already perished.

Who's at fault when our time becomes essence-less?
When we begin to question our coexistence.
How do we make each moment resemble something of elegance?
Time must be...

You run...
from pillar to post,
stick your neck out,
bend over backwards
just to satisfy them.
They're "your friends,"
or so you think.
They ask for the moon,
you give it two-fold.
The thanks you get?
Well, they watch you...
brush your pearly-white teeth,
rinse it out with Listerine
so your breath smells...
minty-fresh.
But surprise, surprise!
It stinks to...

Ungrateful Me…
You have been a constant rock and sure support daily;
Extending yourself and your resources to me; unendingly.
Your continued selfless sacrifice I have not appreciated;
Unwavering praise and gratitude I should have chanted.
My thoughtless actions showed I took you for granted;
Fully implying; that your assistance was...

We never appreciate feeling well,
Even when we are sick and swollen
And hurting.

We never appreciate feeling well.
Even when we have been sick for 
Ten days with the sorest throat
We have ever had

We never appreciate feeling  well
Even after we have had shingles and
Tuberculosis and blubonic 
Plague...
