Going

Listen

I’m tired of her

I’m tired of hearing her

I’m tired of seeing her

 

Since she’s on her way to good health

or on her way to not-so-bad health

 

Her complaining and her refusals

are symptoms of a petulant child

I have no patience for

 

Since she’s going anyway

I wish her gone already

    I would feel the same way.

    I’d like to see you hash out this confession a little more, simply because I think the subject is more unique and it can be one of those that leaves the reader feeling sick in both their view of the situation and their recognition of themselves in the speaker’s role, i.e, we all would be impatient and outdone.

    What is a horrible (but natural) human quality here is also a poetic gold mine.
