Get out of my life! It’s not where you belong!

By Stanley Collymore 

It’s my life and I’ll damned well 

do with it what I like and that 

quite naturally, pleases me; 

and as long as I’m happy, not actually 

personally or emotionally, effectively 

inconveniencing anyone specifically 

whether they’re known to me or not 

or, worst still, evidently emotionally 

or essentially financially exploiting 

them, I basically don’t actually see 

what my own personal life and, as  

well, logically my individual habits

that are exclusively quite singular 

to me have anything whatever to 

do with you! Moreover, I do think 

quite carefully, about my actions 

and always do before I basically

ever embark on them; and if the 

conclusions that I subsequently 

sensibly arrive at and that quite 

undoubtedly in my mind clearly

unmistakably and naturally too 

in very distinct relation to all of 

them literally most intelligently 

and also logically, don't cause 

me any noticeable anguish or 

perplexing consternation why 

precisely then are you, or any 

one else, so sorely obsessed 

with what I'm actually doing? 

All the more so, when I fittingly 

and rather sensibly, consider 

that those who I essentially 

don’t know and are surely therefore 

effectively and literally strangers to 

me attendant with those whom I’m 

casually aware of, but quite frankly 

are undoubtedly also, substantially 

inconsequential to me, collectively 

and similarly subjectively; not only 

think but similarly are of the belief 

that between the actual coterie of 

them they simply not only can but 

similarly have that exclusive right, 

they think, to quite essentially tell 

me, not only what expressly I can 

or mustn't do, in my very own life.  

And when I dismiss these 

perverse intrusions into 

my discernibly private 

life with the natural contempt which 

they evidently, distinctively deserve, 

several amongst you still and most 

specifically as well, the entire lot of 

them most unsurprisingly have the 

bloody nerve to rather openly label 

and likewise, literally condemn me 

quite appallingly so, in your clearly 

sick minds as a rather egregiously 

narcissistic, and also a thoroughly 

demented and unpleasant person.

Author's Remarks: 

This poem is a philosophical look at the difference in attitude of someone with a thoroughly ingrained moral compass and the fundamental knowledge too of what's commendably right contrasted evidently with what is discernibly and calamitously wrong. And moreover how dim witted and likemindedly intellectually challenged mob hatred of all kinds, can cynically and quite financially as well, be rather self-servingly and most exploitatively utilized, while the gullible dupes involved basically ignorantly but happily none the less to effectively do what they are commanded to, continue to be quite distinctively and unscrupulously used by media hacks distinctly on behalf of their right wing media organizations. A state of affairs that's unquestionably the case in classism entrenched and similarly as well clearly endemically sycophantic to their perceived societal betters, Britain!. 

Message from a reader: “Get out of my life! It’s not where you belong!" by Stanley Collymore is a poem with a strong message of individualism and the right to live one's life as they choose. The speaker defiantly declares their personal sovereignty and the freedom to engage in activities that bring them happiness, without infringing on the rights or interests of others. The poem also critiques the societal tendency towards conformity, and the pressure that is often placed on individuals to conform to external expectations. The use of varied punctuation and line breaks adds to the poem's conversational tone and creates a sense of urgency, reflecting the speaker's impassioned stance. Overall, the poem raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of personal liberty and the extent to which society should regulate or leave individuals to their own devices”.
