You F****n' Know

Influenced from Alanis Morissette's; You Oughta Know. From her album: Jagged Little Pill.

You F****n' Know

You should f****n’ know,

How broken felt so long ago

What fears crawl deep inside me

Born- naïve, in love; at nineteen

…a younger version of me

This f*g belittled like me

The boy that trashed his entire life, to fit yours

The one so evidently; 

that always talked of family

The fool who made an endless point, to impress you

 

Cuz the w***e for your bride

I became, by your side

Was the fool in your eyes

Only cared, compromised

F****n’ know it

F****n’ KNOW IT

Never thought, why I fought,

Couldn’t care, you were there

In your eyes I would stare

Now you know it

Now you OWN IT!

 

And I’m queer, to reduce you

To the s**t you dealt, till you withdrew

It’s unclear, when I came to

Or the men I fucked; to get over you

Over you, you, you

F****n’ know

 

Love scorn, fragile heart; sex worn, beggar

My soul not quite as smart, not what you prefer

Whats left here for me? Did you think you left me in piece?

Thought these miserable years would subdue three…

You were the way it should be, you were everything

How disposable really, can you make me?

 

Cuz the holes that you played

In the bed, without me

Never mind; never came

Without hurt, without blame

F****n’ know it

F****n’ OWN IT

 

And every time I took your s**t

Did you know, that id go, ever clime

Given time, till I made it

I F****N' MADE IT!

 

And I’m queer, to reduce you

To the s**t you dealt, till you withdrew

It’s unclear, when I came to

Or the men I fucked; to get over you

Over you, you, you

F****n’ know

You F****n' Know

Author's Note

I really wanted to reenact in my view, something of an art form that had influenced me throughout important events in my life. Believe it or not, making a reenactment of someone else's work without making it a parody is fuckin' hard. Folks think "angry" of my work so... Hope you enjoyed it and understand where most of it comes from. Cheers.

All the elements for a very passionate and raw chapter. My God man this is great. I'm pretty sure you'd have to be a homosexual and have had been in a same sex relationship to really understand this. So dead on. Wow!! Very very good!!

[Wretched Knight]

Oh I love all of it!

[Coyote Poetry]

Great movement of thoughts and I like the powerful statements in this poem.
"Love scorn, fragile heart; sex worn, beggar
My soul not quite as smart, not what you prefer
Whats left here for me? Did you think you left me in piece?"
I like the ending to this outstanding poem. Thank you.

I can't work out who is the cause of the anger. is it a parent or an ex? or even your former self? if ya let me know. I'll have another read. I dunno the Alainis song, though I think she is a brilling artist.

[Empirik]

Wow! This is such a cool concept. I really liked it. At first it was really intense then I got a hold of it and felt the passion, struggle, and hope. Thanks for sharing! :)

[Honey54]

Damn! I LOVE IT! SO RAWR AND REAL! I CAN IDENTIFY WITH YUR STRUGGLE AND PAIN! AMAZING WORK!

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a strong angry piece filled with hurt and pain. Sometimes we should let people know exactly what they are doing and make them own it.

[Suze]

A great reenactment of a great song - cause they do f*****g know they are breaking our hearts and they should own it. F**k em.

[Archia]

I found this quite, well quite... deep. But not deep, a different kind of deep let's say. I'm not really sure how to put how I found it, but whatever it is, it's a very good thing. Most poems I read that have swearing in it just seems to be unnecessary, and just their for the sake of this. But in this, it held such an impact. and really had its effect. I really enjoyed this poem.

[The White Wolf]

You know, in my opinion, poetry is supposed to be written from raw emotion and real feelings and does not always have to dolled up in pastel printed lace dresses with flowers and sunshine...you have given a fine example of what poetry is meant to be. It is powerful and filled with emotion and oozing with reality. Honestly, I am impressed. I am in awe of the bravery and the ugly honest truth. This, to me, is perfect. You Rock!
