Not Mad by Joan SerratelliOnly dogs get mad
People get angry
FURIOUS
bit not mad
Only dogs get mad
My dad taught me that
and it stuck
Yes, I'm angry
Life is not easy
I'm tired of being blamed
for thing I do not do
After all, I'm the only one here
So if something goes wrong;
I had to do it
RIGHT?
No, sometimes
things just happen
but I take the fall
things are missing
Not where I KNOW they were
Weird, huh?
Can I prove it 100 percent?
No, but things are...
just not right
Am I mad?
No, I'm not a dog
I am furious
Someday I will find out
Who is "Harry Killerman"
and why the hell is he after me?
Old Dustin Hoffmen movie
I feel like Harry Killerman
Am I like Harry?
No
but things are
just not right
and I know I'm not
imagining things
or am I???
Am I that crazy?
Don't think so
EVERYONE needs help
And I'm stuck in first gear
because
no-one believes me
I can't blame them
this situation
is BIZZARE
and I can't tell anyone
am I Harry?
No
but things are...
off.....
But I am a rational person
right??
If I had Dustin's number
I'd call him
He'd understand
because No-one else does
I do not drink
I do not take drugs
Things are
off...
ya know what I mean
I just need that missing puzzle piece
...and everything else I've lost
Bit really; not mad
Angry, furious
NOT MAD!!

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 03/22/21 at 12:00 PM Good rant Joan. Almost humorous in parts in how you deal with the difference between the two words. No one wants to be misunderstood. |
