~I wrote this poem when I was in high school about my love of complaining. It is pretty snarky and sarcastic which perfectly describes my high school self. The poem was based on the idea that complaining is often seen as a bad thing when really it can bring us together and make things better. Although I am older now and see I shouldn't waste my time complaining, I still understand how good it feels to complain~
Oh how I love to complain!
It gives me such power
The words sizzling on my lips
when I tell my mother
that the chicken is just too dry
There is nothing more pleasing
than when I slouch in my chair
and explain how painful it will be to have to take out the garbage
The collective sigh of the class
when a teacher assigns any sort of work
fills me with a bubbly feeling
The snarky comments of my friends
when we have to run the mile in PE
brings us together in a beautiful way
A devilish sentation overcomes me
knowing I been just the slightest bit more difficult
There are just so many awful things to complain about!
Crappy erasers, Smelly bathrooms
Barking dogs, Stale chips
I know I shouldn’t
because there are starving children in Africa
and no one has to leave the couch to change the channel anymore
But isn't it wonderful to gripe
about your sister eating the last cookie?
THE WORDS SIZZLING --- coolest line ever! Gripe is a fun word too! This poem perfectly describes my high school self as well! That was a loooooong time ago but still... I feel you girl..
