[Prompt] Writing Digest: 20 Line Poem on Annoyance

Title: Annoyance
by, Black-Haired Girl

Don't interrupt me, you little prat
you're acting like a spoiled brat.
I don't enjoy scolding you
so listen up and think this through.

You ask for advice but you never take it
then things go wrong and you throw a fit
I told you so, but you just don't listen.
All that advice you've just been missing.

She "broke your heart" or so you said
and I sat quietly and pat your head
and told you exactly what to do
but you did the opposite, didn't you?

The truth is I don't feel bad.
You don't have my pity, I'm not sad.
I vow to never waste another moment
helping you with personal torment.

You are still my friend despite your mistakes
and every time your heart shall break
I will be there to hold your hand
in silence. There I shall stand.
