He Don't Like You - By: Me

I like to write but I don’t think that qualifies me as a writer. I wrote this trying to train my brain to stop thinking about Junior. It’s reminds me of a poem by Maya Angelou, I Hate to Lose Something.

Junior does not like you; 
He don’t like you. 
Don’t call him;
He don’t like you. 
He don’t want you calling him; 
He don’t like you at all. 
He can’t tolerate you; 
He can’t nothing with you. 
Leave him alone; 
He don’t like you. 
Do not call his job; 
He don’t like you. 
Do not email him; 
He don’t like you. 
Do not look for him when you’re in his town; 
He don’t like you. 
Do not react to anything pertaining to him; 
He don’t like you. 
Do not react to any memory of him; 
He don’t like you. 
No one wants to hear you talk about your love for him. 
Nothing about him interests any of your friends. They don’t want to hear that shit; 
Cause they know he don’t like you. 
Just stop it; damn, just stop it. 
He don’t like you.
