F**k Your Cell Phone

He would die
if he lost his phone

His phone is his life
Don't you know

Oh Lord what would he do
if he had to actually
spend time with the person
setting next to him

Put the phone down
look around at life
passing him by

He missed a big step
in his son's life

OMG did you see what he just did
at 4 months old he stood up with a little help

He said No I didn't see it
besides it's not a big step
I did not miss anything

Yeah ok sure
it was nothing
play it off

But I saw my future
in an instant

His son takes his first steps

Honey did you see that

No I didn't see it
besides it's not a big step
I did not miss anything

Yet it's so important
that he has his face
stuck on facebook
24 f*****g 7
scared he will
miss something

But from now on
I'll Taylor Swift your a*s
so f*****g fast

To vent my anger
to vent my pain
to vent my frustration

I f*****g HATE cell phones

They will lead humanity to ruin
walking zombies phone in hand
while real life fades around them

Show some respect
please disconnect
why the f**k do you
spend so much time
on your phone

Wonder if I turned into a phone
would you than talk to me
would you than touch me
would you than not be bored by me

I hate how you feel the need to be connected to an infinite electronic world every second of the day - See more at: http://www.thirdoptionmen.org/blog/hate-cell-phone/#sthash.UVPSRjZ2.dpuf

I hate how you feel
you need to be connected
to an infinite electronic world

While the real world
while real life
passes you by

Your cell phone separates you.  Your cell phone divides you.  Your cell phone keeps you a safe distance from the others - See more at: http://www.thirdoptionmen.org/blog/hate-cell-phone/#sthash.UVPSRjZ2.dpuf

Your cell phone separates you
Your cell phone keeps you
a safe distance
from the others

We are within inches of one another
but you are somewhere else

Talking to other people
than get mad at me for asking
what are you doing
not that I care
I just want to
hear your voice
to know that I'm
not dead to you

I find myself jealous
jealous of your cell phone
I wish I was the first thing
you reached for in the morning
I wish you felt the burning need to talk to me

Back when I had a cell phone
you would text me while setting next to me
...Hey I wrote a new poem go read
and review it on WC

Gives me that old overused line
But But I is Bubby Honey
you have to read
and review me

I drop all that
I am doing
and read

Now comes the time
I write and post a new poem
to the writers cafe

Hey honey I wrote a new poem
will you read it when you get time...

Its a b***h and a moan fest from him

Ill read it in a minute fool I'm busy

Hours pass sometimes days
honey did you ever read my new poem

No not yet I'm busy
yadda yadda yadda
face in his phone

I ask one more time
and feel like I'm nagging

He says I started to read it
but it's just to f*****g long
so I quit you know I HATE reading
and you keep writing

Well F**K you and you hatred for reading
yet what do you do all day on your phone
YOU ARE F*****G READING JACK A*S

And you get on WC
and read and review
other poets work
but its just to hard
to just read your wife

You are a f*****g double standard
I'm tied of begging you to read my work
I'm scared to even ask anymore

You get mad and b***h
and both ways I get hurt
and it makes me hate him

I am done asking
I am done begging
I am just DONE

Its funny poets of wc
you should know
when no one
reviews his s**t
he gets pissy
and is in a bad mood all day
even though I review him
wonder if he thinks
how I feel that he wont even
read my work

This is test
lets see how long
it will take him
to notice
he is

BLOCKED

Author's Note

I purposely made this poem LONG cause he "HATES" reading ... Yes I'm upset and fed up and I have to write how I feel its my therapy it helps me vent since I have no one to talk to venting in poetry keeps me sane and my fists from balling up and beating someones dumb ass

It's sad when you feel so alone setting beside the one person you love most

Stephen I am not writing negatively about you I am just venting you know I love you

and no I could not block you

Very good write, its so nice to vent out your anger rather than keep it inside, the only thing I would change here it for you to prolly make this adult with all the cussing :)

[dartanyon jonez]

Wow!

First of all, thank you for introducing me to Writer's Cafe! Your follow on Instagram led me here. I don't know why you followed me, but I am so glad you did!

Now-this piece is amazing! I have gone through this personally, so it resonates with me. But, somewhere along the way, I got lost in your story, and as it kept building, I had no idea that the last line was going to be such a dagger! Great use of irony!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i hate them too, and especially how they draw people apart even when they are together...

how many people we see at restaurants sitting together in a booth...both texting other people...why even go out together?

good rant here...and you get total agreement from me.

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

Wow, this is a lot of venting. Writing is the best way to vent. I do know a lot of people that do stay on their phones 24/7. Everyone becomes guilty of it too. I know I am. I hate that I do sometimes. There is actually a video on YouTube that one of my teachers had shown me the other day at school. It's called "Look up". It is so sad but true. I am sure you will find it entertaining with some truth behind it. Cell phones has made society distant. I think a lot of people can agree with that. Yes, this poem is lengthy but it held my attention and I liked it honestly. The title grasped my attention from the beginning and you didn't lose my attention not one bit. I read from the beginning to the ending. I am glad you two worked it out. Writing does help tremendously to avoid from snapping someone's neck into two. :D Keep writing. Awesomeness.

[David Scott]

This is like reality TV in the poetry world. Ha. ;)
Great art comes from great pain or great pleasure...
Here's to hoping the next write finding inspiration from your bliss.
Thank you for sharing.

[C. Rose]

Very related emotion coursing through this.

It felt choppier toward the beginning.
"Its a b***h and" and "Ill". Missing apostrophe is some of your contractions

Fun concept. I'm inspired to write this kind of "venting" poem that doesn't have to do with seriously heavy emotions like grief.

[Relic]

This is just plain sad. Enough said.

[Konigin]

Venting is essential. I have had to do it every single day since I moved to South Carolina. I have such s****y days... but anyways. I loved it. It was raw and pure emotion. It was fantastic. And good for you that you care enough to get angry. :) Plus all cell phones need to die. Right now. And I am sorry about you and Stevo... I'm sure you've gotten tons of apologies ... But truly: I hope all works out! :)

Well done Sam!

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

he still does it Im trying to think of something else I could do when he is on his phone lol any ideas and thank you

[Konigin]

uhhhhh Immediatly get on WC and ignor him until he gets the message. No matter how long it takes. :) And you're most welcome! :D

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

well when we are at home I have no internet nor a phone nor cable so ... good ideas but none I can use atm lol

[Konigin]

aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!! okay... how about. you just ignor him completely and let him starve, rot, etc... until he gets the point??? :P :D

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

lol wish I could but I'm not that cold I wish I "could" a lot of things lol

[Konigin]

lol hahaha I'm glad that you're not that cold. You "could" do anything you set your mind to... Just saying. lol :)

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

yep more than you know lol I am very stubborn

[Konigin]

lol So am I! ^,^

[Perdition]

Love the way you chose to break it up…Stanzas like text messages and brief connection. Probably my favorite by far. And you saved the best for last as I couldn't agree more… a wonderful finish.
