Gives Me Hell
A response to The All-American Rejects' "Gives You Hell"
I wake up every morning
From a nightmare about you
Racing heart and sweating too
And you’re still probably heedless
Of all your past mistakes
And all I do is ache
When I see your face
It does give me hell
It does give me hell
When you walk my way
It does give me hell
It does give me hell
Now where’s your self-awareness?
And where’s that apology?
And did it ever get to me?
You’ve always made me tense up
Your yelling and your threats
I won’t do that with you in bed.
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I’m lying
When I see your face
It does give me hell
It does give me hell
When you walk my way
It does give me hell
It does give me hell
If you find a girl that's worth a damn and you treat her well
Then she’s a fool, oh just like me
It does give me hell

I randomly get inspired to write metaphors, stories, poems, and (often self-deprecating) reflections. This feels like the perfect platform to share with you all instead of having them sit in a Google Drive folder called "Random".
Great-Grandfather Eldridge’s Poetry
Recently, I learned that my great-grandfather, on my fathers side of the family, wrote quite a bit of poetry. A family member put together a book of his poetry. I had no idea until recently. It was such a wonderful pleasure connecting to his words, written so long ago! I had never met him because he died long before I was born. From what I’ve been told, his wife died during childbirth. It makes me wonder how similar I may be to some of my ancestors, in the fashion in which I reflect and write.

Rage
Content Warning: Domestic Violence, Assault Rage D. A. Ratliff “Who did this?” My voice echoed through the house. All I wanted was a cup of tea, but one of the twins, running through the house like maniacs, knocked it over. My nerves tingled, and every muscle in my body felt coiled like a spring. Survival seemed out of reach.
