Things I Don’t Like

The smell of burnt bacon

filling the air around me.

Then comes the cleaning of the burnt pan

requiring extra expended energy to clean.

Going to sleep at five in the morning,

waking three hours later,

only to fall back to sleep for five more hours;

no less, in my chair.

Getting an item in the mail.

Something I have wanted a long time.

Only to find out

it wasn't what I had hoped it to be.

People with small minds,

closed ears to a truth told them;

but they believe the lie

from another's lips.

Things I don't like,

other people do.

That's fine.

Just don't push me to take your side.

We claim to be independant when we are not.

Without a place to buy food, we would starve.

Without paying rent, we would be homeless.

Without friends, the world suddenly shuts down on you.

Many things I don't like,

but many I tolerate.

Stupidity isn't one of them.

After all, you can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
