Reality Really Annoys Me

It’s a tapping noise
gently repetitive
but all to easy to ignore
TAP KNOCK POUND
someone is knocking at my door
“go away dad, I want to be left all alone”
I quietly think to myself
knowing I would like to say much much more
TAP KNOCK POUND
why don’t you get a clue
I am not answering the door
because I am running away from you
repetitive insanity
how long will he stay
and just knock on my door?
how much longer before he gives up?

I am quickly reminded of my mom
and how she calls
when I don’t want to answer the phone
RING RING RING
20 + times
hang up mom, I want to be left alone
but the ringing never stops
and neither does that damn knocking
TAP KNOCK POUND RING
TAP KNOCK POUND RING
repetitive insanity
in this reality I try to ignore
