I Ain’t Goin’ To See Misery No Mo’! Poem by Deidre Dixon

Misery loves company, but I ain’t goin’ to see Misery no mo’
When you go and visit her, you start feelin’ miserable almost as soon as you get to the do’
She lures you over under the guise that everything is cool
Then you get into a conversation with her and you start feelin’ like a doggone fool
You feel like a fool ‘cause you done let her suck you back in
By comin’ over to her miserable place where she can get her claws back into you again
Wit them claws she gets a real good grip on your emotions and before you know it
Misery done caused you to be angry, betrayed, hurt and disappointed
You be thinkin’ Misery just wanted you to come around
But, the whole thing about Misery is that she wants to bring you down
She wants to bring you down to her level of misery and pain
Just ‘cause she so miserable in her life she almost insane
Misery always be lookin’ at everybody else’s life and talkin’ ‘bout them
‘Cause the mirror of her life she supposed to look at is dim
Misery loves company ‘cause she feels so all alone
Well, I done figured her out and I ain’t goin’ to visit Misery no mo’!
