I Quit

I Quit

A Poem by Tania Leigh
"

Ever have a day like this?

"

 

I finally lost my temper today

and said all of the things I wanted to say

to all of the people that had dared cross me,

and I laughed when they looked disbelievingly.

 

I conveniently lost my memory

and forgot all the things I’m supposed to be;

I was living in the moment for once in my life,

forgetting I’m a daughter, stepmother, and wife.

 

I seem to have lost my way somehow,

for there is no direction in the here and now.

I’m testing the old theory that ignorance is bliss;

look carefully at me, do you see something amiss?

 

I’ve finally gone and lost my mind,

and it is not something I desire to find.

I hereby resign from life’s venomous fray;

I’m halfway to insanity, and here is where I think I'll stay.

Good effort with the syllable count! It is not always about getting it exactly right! Lol.

This reminds me of the new cell phone commericals with the unlimited minutes. Maybe you can sell them a license for this poem for their next commercial! I think that it is Verizon! "I now have unlimited minutes! I want to tell off everybody that I know! Screw you, too!"

Peace and love,
Gabe

Right on. Stand up against those that would try to suppress you. We have to speak our mind from time to time in order to make sure not to bottle things up inside for to long.

I wouldn't have even noticed the syllable count since everything seemed so smooth. I love this, I can easily relate to it right now.

I definately need to read this today. Unfortunately, I was unable to "lose it." haha. It was a full moon for sure today. Your poem brings comfort in knowing I'm not alone...and there is guidance here in your words. I love the honesty here and how you move me with your words.

Nice piece. The font fits well with the feeling.

Who doesn't want to live life like the first stanza - saying all the things you've wanted to say.
Most of the time I read poetry, absorb it, and move on. This is a piece that I would reflect on time and again. Thank you.
