Dear Brain,
Fuck off.
Now is not the time
for this self-absorbed whining
this face in the pillow languishing
these screams into the void.
There are cats to be herded
expectations to be met
rocks to be pushed up mountains
chess pieces to be moved
people to not let down
And none of that can be accomplished
from this sticky puddle of tears
and self loathing
So kindly, fuck off
with your ruminations
and sobbing bullshit
I don't want to hear
about your chemistry
your fogginess
your existential dread
and all the things you're not wired for
Just fuck off with all your emotions
Save the breakdown
for a more convenient time
I've got shit to do
So fuck you
and your search for wellness
We both know
that's a lost fucking cause
and a waste of time
Let's just get on with
not falling off this fucking cliff
into a pit of failure
Fuck you, Brain.
Shut the fuck up, Feelings.
Wait your fucking turn and
get the fuck out of my way.
Fuck.

Correction: when we met, I didn't curse *in my poetry*. You never heard me in the locker room after a hockey game... 😉
But yes, you have taught me many things well. I'm sure I still have much to learn. I hope it's mutual.
Thanks for the BIG FUCKING LIKE

Glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes a liberal sprinkling of the f-bomb is what's needed.
Many thanks,

Dear K,
Yeah! That’s right! Even five minutes would be sweet relief. Anger is most definitely an energy which I use constantly to fuel my days. I really enjoyed this piece.

Thanks, H!
I wish I could say that burst of defiance propelled me into a day of unparalleled productivity, but sadly all it did was get me through half an hour or so. It turns out anger is not a sustainable energy. At least, not when I'm too exhausted and overwhelmed to maintain it. Damn.
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed this, and I hope it can serve as fuel for someone else! Or at least a laugh.
Thanks,
❤k

Oh boy, I am feeling all pumped up now... and maybe a little scared too. :p This is so powerful; frustration, anger, and sadness or such intense emotions that can drive us to many things and accomplishments. Herding cats is so difficult, sometimes it is important to let go of that control and let them run about as they may I suppose. Keeping those thoughts quiet and pushing forward can be such a challenge. My OCD definitely heard this message loud and clear, now I just need it to shut up and get out of the way. :p Really love the message. Great stuff!

Thanks so much for the support! I'm sorry to hear that your brain is a dick to you as well. Sometimes they really need to be put in their place so we can just get on with the next thing.... I wish I had this kind of resolve all the time, but usually I spend a goodly amount of time tripping over my own thoughts....
Appreciate your visit here! Wishing you clear thinking & well-herded cats,

Many thanks, sir ethan! 🙏 Hmm, now you've got me thinking maybe it would be fun to read it aloud. Cathartic, even...
But I'm a little confused now as to whether you were actually reading it as a fuck you to some guy named Brian... definitely not! This is a brand of anger & spite I save exclusively for myself. 🙄 😆
Thanks for your presence & footprints here!
