Poetic Excuses

You Can't Take A Joke, So You Threaten Me?

This is not a poem. This is a vent so I don't freak out or break into tears while I am in a different, unfamiliar, and safe area.

First of all, I am pretty damn well aware that you don't like my father's family. I was invited over by HIM. NOT YOU. THIS ISN'T YOUR FUCKING HOUSE!

Second, why the hell are you so goddamn nosy?!?! It was an inside joke between me and MY father. It's none of your business. He's MY father who, before he got out of prison, I HADN'T SEEN NOR HEARD FROM IN SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS! Before he went back to prison, I hadn't heard from him in 2 years. It is NOT any if your business what goes on between me and him. You can't stop me from seeing him now that I am here.

Third of all, why would you just start yelling and cursing at me for no reason? I'm about to start crying because of you. I hate when people yell at me, when they freak out because of me. You said you had a simple question... THAT WASN'T A SIMPLE QUESTION!!! IT FUCKING WASN'T EVEN A QUESTION AT ALL, IT WAS JUST YOU THREATENING ME! ALL IT WAS WAS YOU TELLING ME NOT TO JOKE WITH MY DAD OR YOU WILL NEVER LET ME SEE HIM AGAIN!!!!

LIKE HELL THIS IS YOUR HOUSE! I WAS STARTING TO LIKE YOU, BUT THEN YOU READ A TEXT THAT WAS A JOKE BETWEEN ME AND MY FATHER AND FLIP THE FUCK OUT AND START CURSING AT ME AND AND.... UGH YOU THREATENED ME!

YES, I UNDERSTAND MY AGE!
YES, I UNDERSTAND I AM ALMOST FOURTEEN!
YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT MAKES ME A TEENAGER!

BUT...

THAT MAKES ME OLD ENOUGH TO TALK TO MY FATHER AND TELL HIM PRETTY DAMN GOOD JOKES!
THAT GIVES YOU NO RIGHT TO START SCREAMING CURSE WORDS IN MY FACE!
THAT IN NO WAY MEANS I CAN HANDLE YOU SCREAMING AT ME!

Just because I'm almost fourteen doesn't mean I can handle people yelling curse words at me. It doesn't mean I can handle people yelling at me at all. It doesn't mean I don't have feelings... It doesn't mean I don't cry.... It doesn't mean I break down when someone increases their volume....

I can shed tears too...

I can scream in my own head as well as you...

Because I'm a 'Teenager' doesn't mean I'm not human....
