I'm Pissed Off



I’m Pissed Off
Ania Davis


Only the tops of
The mountain flame with the sun
Gone from the valley


I’m pissed off because I’m constantly taken for granted. I’m pissed off because no matter how hard I work or how much effort I put in; it’s never enough. I’m pissed off because my feelings are never seen as valid, my point of view never correct and my boundaries are constantly crossed and abused. I’m pissed off because I constantly give so much of myself only to be left with bullshit and loss at the end of the day. I’m pissed off because I’m the only person who knows what’s going on inside my head and it drives me fucking crazy when people pretend to care and understand. I’m pissed off because people could look me dead in the eye and swear up and down that I don’t deserve pain and that they’re sorry people ever hurt me – but turn around and do it themselves without hesitation. I’m pissed off because most of the people I know are so focused on self-benefit that they miss what’s actually beautiful about friendships and relationships. They say you only lose what you gain, so screw it. I don’t want anything, that way I have nothing to fear losing.

  1. Great Haiku and your prose piece. Remember, prose poems don't always have to be in a block. This one might work better as a list poem with every line starting with "I'm Pissed"
    Good work!
