Little Boy: A Poem
I can’t be bothered by you
You rob me of my joy
Turning my smile into a frown
Playing with me like a toy.
Your energy is spent hurting
It is your mission in life
Negative thoughts all the time
Words stabbing like a knife.
You sit and think of ways to harm
Laughing gleefully like a child
No, a more fitting description:
A giggling hyena in the wild!
“Keep ‘em down and out”
Must be your purpose during the year
Telling me that I can’t do it
Feeding that internal fear.
No, I can’t be bothered by you
You’re through winding this toy
I’m not giving any more attention
To a grown-up little boy.

ImKarn23, it does take me awhile to get angry or ticked off, but when I do, I tell it like it is! Thanks for the comment!
Voted up and interesting. I love the comparison to being used like a toy. Think I remember being there and felt like one push of the button I go and another push and I stop. lol
Love your style, Eclectic! Straight from the hip - just the way i like it! Did wonder if you were talking about someONE, or politicians..lol...could be either/or! upupandaway! (oops, just read up and got my answer...ah, well - kinda like my poem 'with friends like you..' LOL) yep, we're both straight forward shooters!)

kj force, thank you! Sometimes I think emotional scars help to create the best poetry! At least it's good for something!
You brought out something many have experienced from someone, that is always good. Thumbs up.
Wow..great poem..funny you should choose to write this, I sent it to my daughter,who stated, you described a loser she was introduced to recently. You think there may be more than 1 in the world? Glad you got out, but sorry to hear there were scars...but you hide it well with your beautiful words..go girl...

xstatic, thank you! Yes, this is actually geared towards someone from a few years ago. Not a friend. Not a lover. Just a negative person that I'm very happy to not have in my life! I guess this wound is still open, though. He did a good job on me!

Wow, simply great! Intense and awesome. One of my favorites. Voted up.
Very good! I would hate to be on the receiving end of that one (if anyone is). Up and interesting!
I have to agree with Michael across the board on this one; it flows nicely and says so much in so few words, the mark of a very good writer. Well done my friend!
