After I Cut You Out My Life
I write a poem
about how I feel
about your actions,
staying in my feels.
What had happened was…
Most don’t know
they get a poem.
After it’s written
I’m over it!
The Oprah of poetry,
you get a poem
and you get poem,
everybody gets a poem!
Moving on to the next offender.
This is equal opportunity poetry.
Never without free material.
Never recreating bad interactions.
The creative part is the poetry
of putting feelings into senses.
Most of life is suppressing emotion,
I’m pouring mine out on the page rather
than throwing it in someone’s face.
Not changing the world
only my reaction to it,
mentally healthier for it.
And the offender is free to offend others.
Hopefully, creating more poets from it.
Whew, the benevolence of it all is remarkable!

“everybody gets a poem!” This made me giggle, and that’s a wonderful thing. Nice stuff!
poetry as therapy
or payback
and most importantly:
Benevolence
In my community, we call it clap back, It’s an artistic thing. It’s written word but it’s even better said verbally. Check out Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
A funny poem with the flashes of artistic truth. Well done!
