I’ve learned nothing from you all night.
Go ahead and pull the curtains down,
The suns creeping in, Please keep it out.
Barn Swallows and House Sparrows,
Tarantulas and Rattle Snakes.
For crying out loud,
Without the wine my hands shake.
Somebody shut the fuck up,
Somebody’s a complete fuck up.
Fall asleep on the top bunk,
nobody cares that you’re in a funk.
From one end to the other of the fire truck,
nobody cares and I still give no fucking fuck.
“Don’t over do it.”

I like how the frustrated tone of the poem comes through in the speaker’s voice. It’s hard to write poetry that holds its emotion all the way through — especially an emotion like irritation and anger. Try to watch your little grammar mistakes though (somebodies vs somebody’s, for example), and you’ll be golden!
