Our Pet Peeves

I am minding my own business and hear a noise. It’s a buzzing sound. I think it’s my headphones so I take them off to check. It’s still there. I see a big fly buzzing around the room. I grab some paper and try to swat it. I miss and I miss and I miss. I get the electric flyswatter. Maybe this will help. I continue to swap hitting a few things. I continue trying to hit it. Swinging faster and harder. I keep on swatting with no success. I hit really hard and fast and hear the satisfying spark of the swatter fry the bug. But at a cost. In the end my room is in ruins.

You are like nails
scratching on
a chalkboard.

Like a nuisance, you
always want the
last word.

Scratching at my
nerves.
The way you
talk it hurts
my ears.

You’re a weak link
using hurtful words.

Like a scab you keep
going at it.

You’re the gum
on the bottom of my
shoe I can’t ever get
rid of you.

All you do is
talk.
So shut
up.

Goodbye.

You are like a cold,
I can’t get rid of you.
You are like a bug
So annoying, buzzing and circling around
in my room.
I try to swat you out, but I just can’t.
You are a mouse.
You eat my food out the fridge.
You are a lemon,
when no one sees you, you’re sour.
When someone sees you, you act sweet.
You are like a fox.

You’re like my dad, he never came back
I miss the times we played and when you’d wall hack

You were my duo since the start
but now I sit with my heart torn apart

Stop please, you have been running straight
for 1 hour, you’re like a dog chasing a squirrel
that can’t manage to know that you won’t reach
it, stop jumping through my bed like if you were
on a trampoline, either way you eventually will
have time to go outside and do those things you
like to do, just please stay put for a few more
minutes and I’ll take you to the park where you’ll
be able to jump freely.

You are like a garbage disposal.
When you eat you spit out food like crazy.
You stuff your face just to spit it out.
When you spit out food it hits my face.
I feel like hitting your face.
Not so nice when I do it.
