Someone insulted my ability to write.

Oh those who pretend
You ignorant piece of shit
I see you assume yourself better
On a writers throne you sit
You don’t have the courage
To show your writers name
This simple gutless statement
Shows that you are lame
You clearly lack the skill
The balls or the will
To do what I can do
I’m slip sliding along
But you are standing still
A real writer simply writes
And gets his point across
But I’ve exposed your weakness
Under your stagnant feet
Grows filth and stink and moss
See I’ve got vocabulary
Filling my toolbox
You just have a head
Filled up inside with rocks
Hide behind your shame
That’s alright with me
I’ve got a suggestion
To ease your futility
Go visit my profile
Pick a story prose or verse
Perhaps your mind will open
Your opinion should reverse
But due to your simple minded state
It will probably just grow worse
So before you open up that mouth
Try to use your mind
Pull it out and wipe it off
Out of your behind
You see I create
While you repeat
Knowledge of others burden
I don’t borrow
And plagiarize
I write and think with my own two eyes
I imagine and realize
How to get touchy matters
In print for all to see
I have a gift you can’t acquire
Your mind cannot be free
I follow my own rules
I’m on a path to greatness
One you’ll never enjoy
The fun about the writing
Is to treat it like a toy
I’m building a legacy
You do not dictate
The direction of my fate
In a few years
I’ll be a millionaire
And you’ll still be sitting
In your duct taped chair
As I told you
I’ve got courage
To step outside the box
But you’ve still got the baggage
Of a head that’s filled with rocks
See my options are many
Yours’ a simple few
And if you’re smart
You’ll emulate me
And do like I do.
I realize you won’t
You are a simple minded dud
Even if my writing
Has a resounding thud
At least I’ll say I’ve tried
While your head was in the mud
You see you have to have a leader
A trail blazer against the grain
I’ll keep breaking new ground
With my Bo Jack train
Comedy romance fantasy
I can do it all
Or I write about sports
And the bouncing of a ball
I’ll write about upstairs
I’ll write about free will
I’ll write about God’s beauty
The mountains or the sky
I’ll write about redemption
And the Evil ones eye
Don’t be so audacious
To attack this writer’s heart
And never challenge me
I’ll tear you all apart
I’m the real writer
You and your conceit
Suck

    Oh my, Bojack. Someone really made you angry.

  • Peter Cimino on Feb 6, 2009

    DUDE you Rock!!! I’ve got your back on this one and I could not agree more!

  • rutherfranc on Feb 6, 2009

    give me a B.. give me an O.. give me J..A..C..K, go tell him that
    we will be watching while you kick his B***tt..

    just watch your heart man, don`t overstress..

  • Colleen Ranney on Feb 6, 2009

    don\’t forget to breath eh!

  • Debra. on Feb 6, 2009

    This has happened to you quite a few times and I have told you many times, do NOT let some MORON get to you. You are here for you, you do what pleases you! Every time you receive a comment that really bothers you, delete and move on.

    You have expressed yourself quite well and gotten that out of your system, now relax. Seriously, don’t let stuff like this bother you so. It isn’t good for your health and you know exactly what I mean.

  • Blue Buttefly on Feb 6, 2009

    Don’t take notice of him, your poem are excellent!

  • Mercedes Selvira on Feb 6, 2009

    So true. And well put, I might add. But listen to rf and Deb, okay? This troll is so not worth our time.

  • Lee Altman on Feb 6, 2009

    Thatis so ^%^% cool. Noone has the right to judge someone elses writing style or ability.

  • thestickman on Feb 6, 2009

    -oh dude you only like giggle the handle once, huh? Then, walk away.

    Excellent!

  • Darren Goad on Feb 6, 2009

    Way to go Bojack! Can I have you on my team?

  • hfj on Feb 6, 2009

    You said it all in this one BoJack. As many people that write on these sites, you can’t please everyone with what you write. Someone is just a little jealous of your many friends and success. You should be flattered that someone would consider you enough of a writing threat, that they would give you a negative comment. Your many writing achievements speak for themselves. Keep on keeping on big guy.

  • lindalulu on Feb 6, 2009

    Dont let anyone do this to you, they have no class. Look at all your friends here…you know who they are. We all love reading your posts! Keep up the wonderful work!!!

  • CutestPrincess on Feb 6, 2009

    hey, Bojack The Writer, calm down! don’t mind them, atleast they’d view your article, it’s a plus you know!

  • pixi on Feb 6, 2009

    Meh.

    The poem? It’s pretentious.

  • PR Mace on Feb 6, 2009

    Calm down and take a deep breathe. Remember your high blood presure, the nurse in me talking. Okay, you got it off your chest,now let it go. He was a jerk. Your real friends know you are a good writer and we love and support you. Enjoy your family this weekend and see you back later. Take care, Pam

  • AC Hamilton III on Feb 6, 2009

    Alright BoJack!!!! I think you’ve said it all. Thanks alot, now I have nothing left to write about. I wanted to say, Sc*ew him/her, but God wouldn’t let me. Lol! I appreciate you man.

    AC

  • monica55 on Feb 6, 2009

    O.K. BoJack! you told him/her. Now he/her can see like the rest of us that you are a good writer.
    Monica

  • papaleng on Feb 7, 2009

    Bo, just remember, each one is accountable for his/her action. Take God\\\’s word, Blessed are the meek.. and He sayeth too, Vengeance is mine. Just stay focus with what you\\\’ve accomplished.. But if you decide to go after him in an alley, I can be your Robin.. LOL

  • Pablina on Feb 7, 2009

    cool. also stumbled it for you.

  • Betty Carew on Feb 7, 2009

    Bo Jack we are here for you . You will always have some mindless fool opening their mouth and inserting their foot. Take care of yourself they are not worth getting upset over. I was in propety management for years and have been retired for about 5 years. I got an email last week on Facebook from one of my previous tenants calling me a B***h and saying I must be living high on the hog with the money “I” charged for rent! Dumb not to know I wasn’t getting that money the company was but there’s how stupid some people can be. I just had her blocked but her stupidity gave me quite a chuckle. Let it go now my friend.You know your capabilities the proof is in your writing!

  • Christine Ramsay on Feb 7, 2009

    Oh BoJack. It is such a shame you had to go through that. Just rise above. You know you are better than that. We all appreciate your work. Chin up!

    Christine

  • Denise Kawaii on Feb 8, 2009

    I won’t repeat what has already been said above. I enjoyed this poem – I think we all feel this way when someone attacks our craft. Sure, it may not be perfect and we may not all be best-sellers someday, but what we have written is ours and is a part of us.

  • trishia on Feb 8, 2009

    Enormous venting BoJack!It behooves me to no end that someone was not tactful enough to handle the situation differently. You realize you are just as capble as anyone else-that’s all that matters!

  • trishia on Feb 8, 2009

    oops,I should have spelled”capable”.

  • Bo Russo on Feb 8, 2009

    Thanks you guys,Perhaps I went overboard,but some of the games people play just are sickening.

  • Serenity Jones on Feb 8, 2009

    Wow! I’m new here.

    Do people really do that?

  • denus on Feb 9, 2009

    haha you show them bro!

  • gianne on Feb 9, 2009

    I hear you on the games, Bo. Writing for me is a way to work out stuff the makes me feel conflicted. That’s the gift for me here. It felt to me like an exagerration of a feeling to “exorcise” it from you. Almost as personal as sharing a journal page…

  • Lauren on Feb 11, 2009

    You go BO! I am so glad you say what you feel and you aren’t afraid to let out the dirt that makes you different. I know that sounds strange, but you are edgy, raw, and I love your work!

  • Sam Finch on Feb 12, 2009

    You are the greatest. This is the sort of passionate ranting we desperately need more of. People have become pussies and stifle their true intent. Good for you!

  • Bick Parker on Feb 13, 2009

    I really enjoyed this one – brilliant! Le’ ‘em have it, Bojack!

  • Alicia Wind on Feb 16, 2009

    Hey Bojack, How are ya? This was powerful right? did somebody made u mad? Don’t get affected–as ur rhymes and verses go on with the lines you have long long way to go….

    Have a good day!

  • Louie Jerome on Feb 16, 2009

    Well there’s no doubt about what you think! You tell ‘em!

  • Kimberly on Mar 5, 2009

    OUTSTANDING!!..U could whip them in ur sleep without even trying!!:)

    Awesome Work!!

  • kate smedley on May 15, 2009

    Wow, powerful write Bo, hope you feel better now!

  • Alina Beck on May 15, 2009

    Well you have done the best thing you possibly could have with those negative comments – you have turned them into a motivation for yet more creativity!

  • Juancav on May 15, 2009

    Comments quantities,speak for itself,you just keep on the good work.

  • Bo Russo on May 15, 2009

    Thanks all.

  • Sandra A Flowers on May 15, 2009

    I love this poem,, it is an anthem cry for a real feeler, not a flake faker,, a great write!! God that I had half of your spirit, I would conquer the world, wink

  • DA Cournean on May 15, 2009

    The world is filled with wanna be’s BoJack. If they can’t be, then they don’t want you to be either. You have a heart of gold!

  • Anne McNew on May 29, 2009

    Laugh it off – you’re a good writer Bo, perhaps they’re just jealous.
    Conquer your fear.
