F*****g Relatives

A rant.

 

What don’t you get

About leave me alone?

I don’t want your input

On my work at all.

You criticize me

On what I write,

Saying it’s not good,

Your poems are sins.

 

Open your damned eyes,

I’m a f*****g adult!

Expression is mine alone,

I choose my own image.

You aren’t my parents,

You’ll never replace them.

Stop trying to do it,

You’ll keep pushing me away.

 

You can’t tell me

How to write.

Can’t say “No erotica,

No damn, no f**k.

No romance in your work,

Use your words to praise God.”

Here’s a little hint I’ve dropped

Countless times already…

 

I DON’T BELIEVE IN YOUR F*****G GOD!!!

 

I have no religion,

I think for myself.

I write how I want

Because it helps me.

Leave me alone,

I don’t want you as

A reader of mine.

 

Back up off me,

Get out of my face.

Give me room to move,

I can’t breathe.

I’m going to write

Whatever I want,

Whether smutty Erotica

Or satanic rantings.

 

I write for me.

Author's Note

Same person pissing me off as always... fucking relatives. They can piss you off better than anyone else.

Ahh! I do feel for you, mine are rubbish at crit too. Don't understand my work at all, Just ignore neg crit John, philistines never get us creative types! Yes you are an adult and your family will have to understand and get used to the fact that, as you so rightly state in this fine rant of your! As a known queen of rants, I can rank you!lol you also write to help you. You are a fine young man and it is not just a matter of getting over it, time and all that rubbish, it is a matter of riding that roller coaster of grief and pain from your loss. IE expressing that pain, love, loss, pure ecstacy, love, the lot. I know that ride so well, I am sure your relatives feel it too but they are much much older and more experienced and NOT in you and your siblings situation. Poetry is poetry and censorship is useless. Well done. Keep writing. Smiling at you, Tai x

Well done, John. You shouldn't need to justify to anyone - including (especially) family. Great vent!!

Well, this is a very powerful piece.. It certainly shows just how much you hate it when people tell you what you can and can't do, what's right and wrong and when people heavily criticize your work. Also, it shows resentment towards the relative(s) doing these things, and a desire simply to block them out and get away from them and their constant presence hanging over your head. and you're right, relatives can piss you off, better than anyone else. My uncle Mike says I have to be Christian, 'cause it's the winning team. I don't like that much. Good luck ditching them, they seem to stick like glue.

Relatives are relative, and each and everyone has the ups and downs with them over time. A powerful piece of pissing out negative energies so that you may continue without being encumbered by them.
Strong and to the point! :)
