liking poetry
understanding poetry
is an essential in appreciating the world around us
It's one way to relate to each other in everyday conversation
It also helps us to focus, problem-solve
and be our creative selves
(I am still working on this a bit)
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
I dont really care
how much you're missing me
you seem to just cant see
that i am over you
I dont really care
how much you cry at night
it gives me such delight
that you're no longer with me
I used to love you so
i just could not let you go
but you broke my heart in two
and im no longer missing you
i dont really care
what you have to say to me
because ive healed you see
and now im moving on
you've been calling me too much
Think your heart is out of touch
with the words your mouth had said
so find yourself another bed.
i dont really care
how sorry you are now
I just dont give a cow
for your apologies
Telling the truth is so hard for some people
Lying is all they know
They don't care who they hurt
Honesty is an expensive gift don't expect it from cheap people
Some people only care about their own reflection
All they need is what you have
Be careful the people you let in your doors, some people come to steal your peace
They don't know about love, they are selfish people
They just take what they need …what they want
Saying I love you is the weapon they use against you
Even the devil can recite scriptures
Be careful of selfish people, some call themselves friend
Multi Billionaires don't know your life.
And have never had to go without.
Decide whether to feed the kids or pay the rent.
Do a job that they really hate.
Clean damp from the walls and mice from their shed.
shop in a discount store or buy the cheapest goods.
To run a car that's on it's last legs .
they got their riches off the backs of the poor
If you vote for him he will screw you over
all Americans are immigrants unless your a red Indian, don't fall for his hate
this is a plea from over the pond
Please don't vote for Donald Trump .
And You Just Say I Don’t Care
Look at the TV or on the street
See the children starving
Hoping for a scrap of food
So they can survive
And you just say I don’t care
The people killed for no reason
Left dying on the street
Killed by a bullet from someone they never met
So many die every day
And you just say I don’t care
Watch the black child
Beaten and harassed for the color of his skin
Hated for something he cannot help
He just wants to grow up just like everyone else
And you just say I don’t care
Listen to the politician
Lying to himself and to you
Pretending everything is okay
While the country destroys itself
And you just say I don’t care
Hear the bomb in a downtown shop
The explosion kills a hundred people
Men, women and children
Killed for no good reason
And you just say I don’t care
However, maybe there will be a time
When you are starving
When you are frightened
When you are the different one
Facing hatred for who you are
But, don’t you dare ask for help
Don’t you dare
Because all you will hear from every voice
A familiar phrase
They all will say I don’t care
And they won’t
I don't care what you do
You hurt me once you can't hurt
Me no more. I loved you more
than
Then any one could dream. You
I thought was the marriage
vowel that I would speak on our
weded
Day when our lives will forever
change. Here I am waiting with
faithful breath arms open.
Using my heart as your honor
bage
I don't care about you, I'be
growny
And you will forever be you.
I am no longer fighten of this
women inside of me, because
I was unprepared, I've grown up
to be great at judging a man like
you.
I am through. Look can't you see
her. Here I stand the women I
am.
stronger, wise, beautiful to smart
for you.
i don't care, if ill never be a pair. i don't care, that you don't care. i don't care, that you wont share. i don't care, that you don't think I'm rare. i don't care, what you say about my hair. i don't care, that you gave me a dare. i don't care, if you made a flare. i don't care, if its to much to bear. i don't care if I'm floating through air. i don't care if life's not fair. i don't care, if I'm not the mayor. i don't care, if your giving me a stare. i don't care if you hate the music i blare. i don't care what you think of the clothes i wear. i don't care if i give you a scare. i...just...don't...care.
I dont care if you're there...
I dont care if you're not...
I've gotten to the point where...
I'm so much in pain that...
I'm so numb I don't feel...
I don't care anymore...
So move on...
So live your life...
Your better off with her...
Now...I just gotta start believing that...
I do not care what you think of me
Or my family and friends
Or my lovers and loathers
My business is my own
My life is mine to live
Your comments on them are not needed nor wanted
But I cannot stop your speech so you will continue to comment
Just know that
I DON'T CARE!
letting the wold pass by
letting pass over my head
the world has said enough
and so i will not go back to my old ways
how i ponder over the past
how it all made sense
and my soul needed no defense
but what is it now
when i have to defend my credibility
this is my American dream
why are they trying to take it from me
where is my house
its gone
and where is my family
they left me
so what is there to do
what else is there to do
but let the world pass by
if the world will fade away
i wouldnt care today
cause its me and my guitar
just playin through those hard times
(thanks for that nickel your all to kind)
i play through the day
playing under the stars
for the people in broken down cars
i play a tune that makes me cry
and hope there are angels in the sky
i watch the the cars driving on by
they dont know how lucky they are
to just drive on
but i say to me
there are people worse than me
some cannot see the worlds beauty
some cannot hear
and some peoples lives are lived in fear
so who am i
just a lonely guy with his guitar
playing for the heavens tonight
Don't care anymore
people may think i do it for attention
but its rare that i break
but all this stress;
i dont know how much more i can take
dont look at me and see weakness
trust me,i know im not that strong
i put up an image
but you were the fool who believed it all along
im left with the broken pieces
of my bloody and shattered heart
these are the same pieces
that have been ripping me apart
im sorry im not perfect
and no i'll never be
but im not trying to impress you
i dont mind being me
so when i break down
its not for your pity
thats just a reminder to myself
of how life became so shi
theshat has scarred me
so
facking deep
and still a year later
all these secrets i must keep
from everyone around me
god knows what they would think
something kept me together
you're the missing link
i cant go back
to that moment in time
when you werent a part of me
when you werent on my mind
im sorry for being a failure
i guess i just give up
and even though im hurting
i make it seem like i dont give a fack
You turned your back on me,
When I was wee,
You walked out the door
You could of looked back
But I don't care!!
I don't care, cos you don't care
You don't care that I could of died,
You don't care that I wanted to die,
I always feel second best
but you don't care cos you have your son
He thinks you're great
He thinks your the best
Little does he know why you left
our cosy little nest!
He won't ever know because
YOU DON'T CARE!!!!!!!
