Poetry: Charlie

Charlie

(Based on the movie Trust)

I’m a 14 year old girl.

Feeling perfection, so happy

And great.

My best friend, my family, Charlie….

I have a smile on my face.

A text, a chat, we spoke every day,

You were my companion, my friend.

My life, it’s perfect.

But push comes to shove

And the shove was the worst.

Charlie entered my life,

Something I cannot reverse.

One single meet, Charlie’s sugar-coated words,

He lied, I cared.

 This was the start of the curse.

A gift bag sits upon my lap, Charlie sits next to me.

I look at what’s inside; I have the urge to flee.

The start of a motor,

A motel room,

Pieces of red,

The shredding of my cocoon.

A touch, a kiss.

Blue flowers on the wall.

No running back now.

He has taken it all.

The calls, they ended.

The chats, they stopped.

How come I wasn’t mended?

Sadness, lost, why did you disappear?

I thought you cared,

My soul felt bare.

My life as I knew it was falling into despair.

A counsellor,

The cops,

They all started to meddle,

My parents

My friend,

They boiled the kettle.

An easy solution….

Why won’t you just call?!?

The internet,

Connections,

ISP addresses,

They all wanted to find you,

This was the middle of the mess.

I believed in you.

Why didn’t you see?

But let’s come to the part…

That there were other girls like me.

To the man who made me cry

Here I am trying to make a salary at work and a man comes in with a plastic white shopping bag. He comes up to me,. I smile and be my positive, friendly self.

Next thing I know the man states that he has R900 on him in coins. R5 and R2 coins to be exact!!!! my cash box is smaller than am A4 cardboard box and he wanted to pay that for a lamp using that. I would have been very happy to help him out if I could but unfortunately I was not in the position. I am not the boss. I work for her, so if he wanted totalk to her I would of given him the phone  in a heartbeat However, that is not the end of it, he carries on saying that he will come back later and pay the additional R200 for it. I apologized and said that unfortunately I cannot do that.

Now lets put this whole ordeal into context. I am a part time employee and only work on average two to three times a week. I received no training simply because there was no need. It is a small shop and all is very self explanatory. In total I have only worked about three times since starting. Now of course I will always ask and call my boss if there are any queries that I may have. I knew the answer to what I had to deal with in this case and that is a no. That is what my boss told me.

Anyway, back to the horrific treatment I received. "If that is how you are going to play...", "if that is what you are going to do..." comments like that are flowing out of his mouth at a steady pace. I felt so humiliated (even though I am the only person working in the store) and utterly disgusted. Don't get me wrong, I was very aware that there would be hard customers to deal with when I started as I have a bunch of friends who work in retail as well who warned me, but I was never prepared for that.

So to the man who made me cry.. I am sorry that I couldn't help you, but do not make a scene and in the process make me terrified to encounter any man who walks into the store after you.  

Have a good day.

Take the time just to listen...

Have you ever felt the need to burst out into song?

While waiting for stupid updates to sort out themselves on Diablo III, I am jamming hardcore on some Steel Panther - Community Property. Legend of a song, perverted but absolutely fantastic, it is quite hard to not sing a long to their songs. However, working with a bunch of sings on this play list I have the opportunity to tell you what I am listening to,

Yesterday evening, my boyfriend  introduced me to Key and Peele; best YouTube clips I have ever see. However, that doesn't mean I can't rule out College Humour. If you really want to feel creeped out and yet still laugh till your floor is wet with your tears, watch Baby Forest.

On to the next song; Asking Alexandria -  If You Can't Ride Two Horses at Once... Then You Should Get Out Of The Circus.

Still  fetching encoding table.... More like fetching the whole world of information. I have just recently finished my mid year exams and all I want is to jam some games. This is just hell on top of a cupcake; I really do not want to be dealing with this. But on the up side I have a glass of wine next to me ( Wine does seem to be helping the situation, if only a tad)

Next song, Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk. Now I know what you are thinking, that song among the other top two?? Do not judge me friend, I tend to like songs that have good instrumental work. However, I will never go for that music that is as repetitive as the Kardashian's drama.

If I could, I would be able to find a way to remember all these lyrics, which I seem to know all so damn well, and make it so that I am able to remember what I study.

For now, Lets just pray to Thor to make sure that I have done well. Keep on jamming!!!!


Arrivederci Bitches (At least that is what the late Charlie would say. I can't believe she got killed off on Supernatural.)

My Introduction

After much deliberation, I thought it would be ideal to create something that a lot of us already know exists out there.

Rantings and ravings about everything!!!!!!!!!

As a constant thinker of the weird and wonderful I feel it is my duty to get you lovely people out there a glimpse into my mind.

Warning, Read at your own risk...
 (hahahaha, It's not that bad). 

So here it is, the place on the interwebs to be....

By the way, For every post I share, the title of each one will be that of a verse in a song, If you know it, Comment it! And for those lucky person to get it right, I shall create a story surrounding that song with the mention of your name in it.

Cheers!
