Pretentious Bastard

Pretentious
By: Nicole Della-Piazza
You and I would never work.
You think creativity is

A waste of time….
You think actors are pretentious.
That they are shallow because you believe

ALL they want is the feeling of performing.
You are so ignorant.
You believe people
Who write do it, to waste time, to make money?
You don’t even consider their MESSAGE for writing.
You think art is SHIT on paper.
Well, I’ve got news for you, YOU pretentious bastard,
Creativity is beautiful.


We writers are kindred spirits, soaring above the norm.
We are
Fellow freaks, creating a sideshow for boys and girls

of all ages to come feel
the passion of our words.
You would never get that.
Your mind is so narrow and so closed to new ideas,

that the beauty of writing could never be
comprehended by you.
Your eyes are so glued shut by pre-determined opinions.
OPEN THEM.
See the world of absurd beauty around you.
I write
Because I want to share my thoughts and emotions,
wether they be morbid or soaked deep with love,
With people who have no voice,
Who need to feel someone is thinking about them.
I write
So other writers identify with me on a creative level.
I write
To send a message.
I write
To exhale relief.
I write
To open your eyes.
Stop holding your breath
And let life fill your lungs.
(someone wise once said)
Let me guide you into a world
Where metaphors reign supreme.
Where nouns and verbs are like water and air.
I can’t live without them.
Don’t
You ever insult my life again.
Don’t
You ever say I’m wasting my time.
Don’t
You simplify MY meaning.
I pity you.
All you do is
Sit on your ass all day,
Playing
Video games.
You’re so busy overthinking
You believe your life
Is already lived.
Your already
a senile old man
in your eyes.
Open your eyes my friend.
You
Are a 19-year-old male
Sitting his ass on his
Mother’s couch
Playing
King of fighter’s
All fucking day.
You and I would never work.
You don’t get it.
I pity you.
Creativity is beautiful.
Your face is a gimcrack.
