Get Off Your High Horse

by Lioness   Dec 26, 2011


Your ignorance
and pretentious thoughts
hide the reality that you are nothing
but a speck of dirt

A meaningless matter of smaller proportion
with an egotistic mind-set
of a larger scale -
to which I am grateful that I
no longer associate myself with

Oh how I would love for
your chauvinistic elements -
to be paraded so that your
moulded imperfections
are exposed

Lead by a horse -
you're reaching for the summit
of Mount Everest

for now...

You can kiss my gluteus maximus

Because it's time
to step down from Seabiscuit
and face the undoubted truth

That you
are no longer wanted

or loved by me

    I really enjoyed this poem, and I love the meaning of it. I like the strength I felt while reading, the strength of moving on and realizing how a person really is... and it was very inspiring... We all can relate to being around people who are pretentious and egotistical, so it was interesting to read your thoughts on this in your poem. I loved the opening stanza - it was setting everything straight with pure honesty... I like that!

    I like the second stanza too - you should be grateful that you're no longer associate with such a person! And leaving someone like that is not always easy, so be proud of yourself!

    I love that you used the word "chauvinistic" .. it is a perfect word to be used in this poem! And I think a lot of people who are like the way you described do act like that!

    I loveee how you wrote gluteus maximus! Honestly that part really cracked me up! It was a nicer and better of saying butt, and that's good! Because using the word butt would not have made the poem as good!

    And the ending was straightforward and nicely done! Great job! =)
