Poor Pitiful Thing

She is the Princess of the Pity Party,

the Queen of cheesy whine;

Her mantra is "It's not fair."

usually followed by

"Everybody's ALWAYS mean to me."

She's fifty five years old,

no hope of growing up.

She lives in her "Me" world,

never sees the rest of us.

 

Today I laughed at her,

and I am not even sorry.

She came banging on the door,

without calling first,

pushed past me,

knocking one of my crutches

out from under me.

I never said a word,

just went and sat in my chair,

and back to trying to figure out

how to brush my hair out

with only one hand.

 

She babbled on and on,

the usual drivel,

her boss is so mean,

he wants her at work on time.

Her landlord hates her,

he wants the rent when it is due.

(She thinks

they are unreasonable.)

Then she actually said

"Poor pitiful me,

the world is so cruel to me,

what am I to do.?"

 

I confess,

I started laughing

and I couldn't stop.

 

So now

she has declared me a "sadistic evil b***h"

and will never call me again.

 

And I'm still not sorry.

Oh how this made me laugh! Actually, you made it OK to laugh by the wonderful description of this sorry sorry person! Well done!

I find it so horrid how people can be so consumed with self... to the point of bringing down everyone around them.. or trying to! (If they could put that energy into building others the world would be transformed.) You tell this story so well.

oh, I guess thats sort of fun, it makes me smile in the poem! I love the last line of the poem, it adds much more emotion into the poem, and god, thats amazing! Its a creative write, I have never read anything like this before!

ahhh ~ those darn emotional vampires suck the life out of us; i think we all come across them and see the other side of the spectrum ~ very creative ~relate "able" and the imagery of a concrete boundary is set; people cannot go around life and be an energy zapper and drainer to others....
