boom shakalaka

i've been scolded by the best
and the worst of them.
guilty as charged.
as usual.
it's a painful ordeal hearing
the truth.
being wacked over the head
verbally.
boom shakalaka!
dope slapped by a significant
other.
this is who you are and
there's no getting out of it.
so this is why she  broke up
with you.
so this is why you're all alone.
so this is why you write
such sad, pitiful poetry.
so this is why you don't have
pets, or plants, or more
than one child.
this is why you've been married
three times.
gulp.
i do all the work in this relationship.
all the driving.
i do everything for you
and you just don't seem to care.
i look for the sad face emoji
to send her,
but accidentally hit the one
rolling it's eyes.
don't roll your eyes at me
mister mister, she writes back.
you have some nerve.
