F*ck You

benevolentbluebabe

Expletives seldom solve, but;
dissipate emotion,
liberate an anger within,
til crying desperately, to the wind,
falling to broken knees,
aching hearts rent, wrenched
by a power midst the trees,
howling, swaying, rocking, baying,
with the gails, in time,
regret wells in this heart of mine.
Regret for a wasted life,
trust shattered, infidelity fraught, true;
lacking verbosity, forgoing eloquence,
screaming the words,
"fuck you".

  • Comment from author about the poem: After bottling up emotions, trying to forgive. Falling to your knees in a rainstorm, feeling the droplets strike your face, feeling your clothes soaking. Yelling out every last fragment of frustration into the horror-filled night. There comes a moment of peace.

    It is good to release frustration rather than bottle it up in the british ...stiff upper lip ... fashion of old.

    Though your words do provide ample justification, I can imagine the tone of your voice, the vehemence expressed was to anyone in earshot, equally telling of the justification of the expletive.

      As a generally non-confrontational person, there's been only one instance where I have uttered those words to another person's face; however, the wind, rain, and trees don't judge 🙂

      I once read about a serious linguistic study of the use of the f-word in the military. The study determined that the participle (f-ing) form of the word indicated nothing other than that the next work is a noun, adjective, or verb ("I f-ing never remember to take my f-ing hat."). The word added virtually no substantive meaning, tone, or emotion. The study concluded that the word was mainly a verbal signal that the speaker is one of the in-group. A significant observation was made that, when the speaker wanted to be taken seriously, they stopped using the word, like when showing some one how to load a weapon or describing an important assignment. Go figure!
