My 2 cents

 


I am so sick of your shit!


 


Why do you ask me for my help then pretend not to need it?


 


I didn't want to give you my 2 cents.


 


You asked so therefore I rode to the rescue like I always do.


 


Chasing away the boogeyman, the demons within,


the insecurities that ride shotgun through your life.


 


You can continue to pretend like you're on top of the game.


 


I know better.


 


The sidelines are where you can be found,


acting like a child afraid to venture


across the sandbox to make a new friend.


 


Life owes you nothing.


I owe you nothing.


 


I gave all I had to give.

Powerful write.

"the insecurities that ride shotgun through your life" - such a good line.

I also liked the start of the poem and its rhythm. It's very economical with words and straight-forward. Could you be an enabler in this relationship?

Well, first off your first line instantly drew in my attention, it was brass.

the over all emotion and theme of this piece is well expressed int he narative. those the subjct of the narative is a bit of a mystery.
Well expressed over all anyways.

thanks for the read.

I really like how you set up the form of the poem. You can only give so much before you are bleed dry. Very expressive.**
