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.
D
o 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.
