Bad Energy Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Nothing seems to please!
And you are critical of everyone...
And everything you see.
And you want to play the blame game.
With a touch of hide-and-seek...
With your parents, the friends left you have
And me!
But I am not having that bad energy.
Donated and/or given freely.
I don't accept!

I bid you and your bitterness goodbye!
I am not going to have my peace of mind
Jeopardized.
Nor confined by your lack of self esteem,
And dependency you have had no problem finding!

I don't need that!
And I don't need you!
What I need is clear vision...
And someone not on a scavenger hunt,
With darkness to fill a mind
On a funk ride in pursuit!
And you are on the prowl
To spook my good!

You 'dim' my light!
You wish to ignite and spark my fuse!
You ain't gon' do that.
Get back!
Subtract yourself,
Now!
