TinyDinos Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 guess who’s back at square 1? they are. more visits with him are like continually reaping fruit from a diseased tree. and eating it all day. then wondering why you can’t stop vomiting. it’s because you were just ingesting literal poison. imagine that. poison makes ya vomit. who would’ve guessed. he wants to move away he told told them how close he came to doing it without saying anything and cutting them off forever. oh the luxury he has to decide to never want to see them again. to decide to not want them. imagine having the freedom to only do what’s best for you. and nobody else. isn’t there a word for someone like that? someone completely void of empathy? oh yeah. “psychotic”. they got glared at today because they had chores to do that their sister let slip through the cracks because they clean up everyone’s messes it’s what they do. they got yelled at today for helping a lost dog find it’s way home after it was almost hit by a car stay safe clifford you’re a good boy and they don’t want you to get lost again. they got gaslit and manipulated today the conversations they had three times over never happened. it didn’t happen the way they saw it. they must be crazy. no. they are only disrespectful. thats it. they got harshly judged today because they fell short of his expectations they didn’t make it about him. apparently “ i t s n e v e r a b o u t h i m . “ and that’s my fault. o b v i o u s l y , it’s always * m y * fault. and im sorry okay? i didn’t mean to. sometimes being a spectator sucks. you accidentally meddle with things and you break them. sometimes so badly that they can’t be fixed. like a family for example. or stability. or self-esteem. but what do i know? i’m just another face in a sea of nobodies. so why should i care anymore? i can’t find a reason why. oh well we’re gonna see what señorita perfecta is gonna do next. is she with us? or is she with them? we’ll see what happens that’s what spectators do after all we watch. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/6379-the-observations-of-a-teenage-spectator-of-life-poem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyy @TinyTurtles, That is extremely deep, thanks for sharing this on the platform. I wanted to check with you how are you doing and if you wanted to talk more about what inspired you to write this poem?

I wanted to check with you how are you doing and if you wanted to talk more about what inspired you to write this poem? Aw thanks. I’m glad you liked it im doing okayish. Well enough that I’m not in danger or anything but unwell enough to be irritated with myself. I had just gotten into my head a bit after a particularly draining day with my dad when I’d written this, so it’s like, super emotionally charged, but whatever. I wrote this like, two weeks ago, and poetry is kinda my way to process my emotions about situations, especially when I can’t express these feelings to someone else in person so that’s what this is :) MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/6379-the-observations-of-a-teenage-spectator-of-life-poem/#findComment-70742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am truly sorry that you had a draining day because of your dad. I am here to listen if you choose to talk about it, or else always appreciate the poetry as I totally relate on expressing emotions creatively.
