It is gathering , it is growing as it does this time of year.
It is clawing my guts out, as it shuffles near.
It is spitting in my face and screaming in my ear.
I am being wrenched apart happy Christmas my dear
Nobody ever does anything for you..
Do you really believe that crap is really true
Na it couldn’t be anything you do…….. could it?
It always happens at Christmas I have to ask you why .
Why take it up and screw it up, watch it bleed gasp for air and die!
Go on, make your selfish demands on me ,
Make me make the choices I never want ..never set me fucking free.
Nobody ever does anything for you..
Do you really believe that crap is really true
Na it couldn’t be anything you do…….. could it?
Bleed me cut me throw me in the gutter .
Make me choose what I do not want, what the fuck does it matter.
No doubt you will relent ungraciously then be
The biggest martyr you can, and blame your grief on me.
Nobody ever does anything for you..
Do you really believe that crap is really true
Na it couldn’t be anything you do…….. could it?
Yes I bloody hate Christmas. All it brings is grief, arguments and hurt.
Under the pretence of rejoicing many a poor soul is being dragged through the dirt!
Adverts on the TV show perfect families enjoying the festive fayre.
It makes me want to choke I don’t believe it, and I think it so unfair
To ram these lies of “happy happy times” right down our throats .
It is just another bloody day
Everything that’s wrong still there beneath the sugar coat.
They’ll still be there tomorrow and not magically go away

A rework of a poem I wrote for NABLOPOMO back in NOV 2013
Please excuse the language and remember it is a poem.

Listening to happy happy Christmas songs when you’re feeling blue is like being stabbed in the heart. Pre Christ – this was the season of lights when the only thing humans shared was warmth and hope the end of winter would come. I wish we could go back to those times – I bet Jesus Christ does to.

Yes I totally agree with you, the homeless, the abused, the poor,the depressed and the ill are not helped by what Christmas has become. I bet Jesus does wish we could go back to more innocent ways… sadly it is too late for that.

Christmas can be a miserable time for some, made worse by the fact that there are so many expectations on us to have a good time. A very powerful poem Willow xx

It is something I feel very strongly about, the poor, the abused the depressed the mentally ill, the homeless it is an awful time for them all. Any of these things are awful at any time but they seem worse at Christmas!!xxxxx

Yes, they really are. I feel the same 🙂

Jesus wasn’t even born on December 25. If he actually existed as a real person, he may be just a metaphor/alagory, many cultures have a virgin birth myth.

Yes I agree I am just saying sadly so much store is by people on Christmas it makes those in pain suffer more.
