The Others
by Anonymous Onyx

It’s always “the others”….
Who cause drama,
Cause problems,
Act stupid,
Give headaches
No comprende (don’t understand)
Act childish, act selfish
Have no spice, no romance
Can’t be trusted,
Or depended on,
Relied upon.
Drive me crazy,
Don’t think,
Arrive late
Disturb me, perturb me.

It’s always the others:
Whether it be my mother or,
My father
My sister,
My brother,
My spouse, my lover
My aunt, uncles,
My friends,
My associ-ATES, -
That frustrate
Get me so damn irate!!
Put me in a tirade
Make me act uncouth like a pirate

It’s always the others,
They just don’t understand me – let me correct it:
My stress is high and my patience is low – No, I’m not intentionally reckless
No, I’m not always on time – very busy - congested
No, I don’t send love notes – never been that expressive
Prefer quality sex over quantity – not purposefully neglecting or being deflective
I don’t think I take people for granted – I assume they just do what is expected
I don’t lie – just conceal sometimes – not trying to be deceptive
But I’ve learned in life that I gotta stay protected
I’m sometimes quick tempered, non-compromising, and opinionated –
but my faults are justified exceptions
I don’t give orders – those are just “suggested directives”
This is who I am – “Ya’ll please just accept it and respect it!”
