"Rejected Assuage"
Hostile colloquy
Go away
Save your apologies
I don't want to see your face
I'm leaving you can stay
If I had a nickel for your mistakes
I couldn't breath
I'd be crushed from all the weight
And I feel like that now
It's gotten better cause' I left you and found
Another person
Who can really hold me down
Teaching me love
All that guilt is really eating you up
And that's the only reason why you keep in touch
You want to make it nice
I'm not allowing you to make things right
I'd rather let the phone ring all night
You say I'm resentful
We know the truth cause' you're the one with the issue
What kind of lover tries their best to work against you?
Now that it's done
Now you've destroyed the sacred bond
Say that you're sorry but you apologize for fun
I'm a good enough person to forgive but not forget
Just know that is it
We tried but you couldn't stay legit

You say that u love me
But is this what u call love
U hurt an abuse me
Ur vulgar words scar and confuse me
I had enough of your I'm sorrys and excuses
They mean nothing to me now they just words
That people like u feel they can abuse it
I'm sick of all your crying
And your talks about crime
And about all the things that's on ur mind
I had enough of your stupidity
Your ill mannerd irony
Ur stupid Philosophys
I'm tired of all the pain u caused
The hurt
an the ever lasting shame
For all this u are to blame
And I hope one day u feel the pain
Which you gave so easly without a thought about
Who u would hurt all u cared for was
What you would gain
But is this what u call love
U hurt an abuse me
Ur vulgar words scar and confuse me

A LETTER TO THE WOMAN WHO SNUBBED ME
(guess what? I wrote a poem about you)
I am better than you - she hinted
I have a wealthy doctor as a husband
He has an international reputation
You have no husband - no man wanted you
I am better than you - she stared at me
I come from a wealthy family
We have been here since 1894
Your parents are greeners, new and foreign
I am better than you - she implied
I have a doctorate from HARVARD
All you have is a Master's degree
I am better than you - she boasted
I have two male children
You were barren in your first marriage
Now you are too old to have them
I am better than you - she showed off
Her expensive clothes and shoes
You buy your clothes from Sears
I buy mine from Von Maur
I am better than you - she showed me her publications
Her husband had put her maiden name on each and every one
Where are your publications? Do you have none?
I am better than you - my father was a noted Doctor
She never asked what my father did
My father was accepted into Medical School in Budapest
But could not afford to live
If you think WOMEN are KINDER than MEN - please THINK AGAIN
This woman married her cousin as NO other MAN would have HER
He was a GENIUS, but NUTTY as can be
Loved her so much - put her name on ALL HIS PUBLICATIONS
As for HER PUBLICATIONS - where were they???
Her family left Russia when there was STARVATION
They came here as POOR as my PARENTS DID
Being FOURTH GENERATION is different from being FIRST
Accumulated wealth and family HELPS
Her mother was no better, got pregnant in order to marry
Her father, the brilliant doctor, when shotgun weddings were common
I almost finished my DOCTORATE, when I got VERY ILL
I never asked for the illness, IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY MY BAD HABITS
My mother was so poor - when she was pregnant with me
She lived on RED CROSS HANDOUTS and now we know for sure
Children of the POOR are NOT AS HEALTHY
As CHILDREN of the WEALTHY
I have worked with MEN and they have been given a bad reputation
Working in an ALL FEMALE FIELD....shows you just how NASTY WOMEN CAN BE
They acted like little girls in elementary school
Shouting WE WILL NOT PLAY WITH YOU
Except this was in a UNIVERSITY
You would think they would ACT MATURE
But put women in a group together
It felt like a CHICKEN COOP
They will PECK EACH OTHER TO DEATH
With SUBTLE nastiness
I prefer MEN to WOMEN, WOMEN are NOT each others FRIENDS
They are COMPETITORS for the few pieces of STATUS they can GET
A rich and powerful HUSBAND, a house in FOREST HILLS
Two children who are intelligent, a live in nanny
And a job they took away from ANOTHER WOMAN
Who really needed it....she was single and poor
Just as SMART and HARDWORKING
But lacking in the things you cannot buy
Like CONTACTS, FRIENDS, CRONIES, MENTORS
To PAVE the WAY to higher ground
Where these people can be found.

IM DONE
Stop embarrassing yourself
Your boring everyone with your
Same old words
And
Same old tricks
Everyone has moved past
This verbal battle
Everyone BUT you
This is my end statement
Grow a pair
And get the fuck out
I'm done
And you should be too
Stop embarrassing yourself
Your boring everyone with your
Same old words
And
Same old tricks
Everyone has moved past
This verbal battle
Everyone BUT you
This is my end statement
Grow a pair
And get the fuck out
I'm done
And you should be too
Im Tired Of Your Bullshit
Ive had enough of your bullshit
and your games
You think that you have
changed
Take a personality check
Find out whats gotten worser
Worser with you
Believe me
You havent changed for the greater good
as you called it
Not one bit
Everyone is not happy with you
And yet you truly believe
that your company is wanted
No,needed
I assure you it isnt
And that you are just a
nuisance
Can you not see
That everyone is fed up
Especially me
Im tired of going through
the same routine
Day after tiring day of putting
up with you
Something needs to change
And you will pay
I wont sugar coat it for
you
Just as the others do
Theres just no need to
flatter you for your ignorance
Boost your ego up higher
and higher
Ill bring you down
But you know what
Its not even worth
the climb
You pathetic useless
thing
Called a human being
But your still ignorant of these
things
You dont realize how much of a
mess youve made
But you will as soon as reality
kicks you in the face
Ive had enough of your bullshit
and your games
You think that you have
changed
Take a personality check
Find out whats gotten worser
Worser with you
Believe me
You havent changed for the greater good
as you called it
Not one bit
Everyone is not happy with you
And yet you truly believe

But your still ignorant of these
things
You dont realize how much of a
mess youve made
But you will as soon as reality
kicks you in the face
I'm done
with all of your foolish lies
worthless jokes
nasty rumors
lonely croaks
with all of your uptight friends
negative attitude
evil plans
and your just plain rude
with all of your lying "No I didn't"s
ruthless tricks
killing words
you nasty prick
break a leg
or die in a hole
or get hit by a bus
heck run into a pole
I don't care as long as I don't have to see you ever again!

Diminished (My Goodbye)
I've always been proud to say
that we've overcome our struggles
and how we worked as a unit.
That I helped you, as you helped me
in our darkest times of need.
It's reached its limit
and emotions too thinly spread
have crumbled.
Under all the weight, it has broken,
the bond between father and son.
Neither of us have the compassion
or the will,
or the love
or the kindness, to repair this.
Before you now, I will say this
as you have failed me as my father,
I have failed you as your son.
While I am done with you, my father.
I will always love you,
and I will always be grateful
for everything you have taught me.
I take it now, to begin my life.
My mistakes have hastened the inevitable
perhaps I was too eager,
or too apathetic to your suffering.
Not that any of this matters,
and I know I've made my choice.
But I will always hold you in my heart
and when the time comes,
I'll be held in yours too.

Dear Chris, it's been a while
Since you left my heart in a chopped up pile.
You're such a jerk,
Wearing that evil smirk.
I know we were young,
But the way that you clung!
Trying to rape me though,
I told you stop, I said no.
And the way that I ran,
Was the fastest I can.
You chased, you followed,
You felt like you were owed.
My virginity?
No thanks, stay out of my vacinity!
That's too high a price for stupid young love,
You lied; said I was your «one true love.»
All you wanted was your way,
But I said «hell no!» and ran down the highway.
You said it was a game,
I thought it was lame.
You tried to take my innocence,
I haven't seen you since.

- Because I am Different -
Part One: Condemnation
“You hate me because I am different, alien to you!
Yet your evil damned your soul, making you mine.
I rule the hells that you will be tormented in forever!
You hate me because I am so strange and beautiful.
Your hate is a sickness, within your fevered mind…
And I am your devil; I bow to your cruelty not ever!
You hate me because I am myself, not some shell…
Your blind eyes shall not see my true angelic glory,
For they cannot see, beyond their own foolishness!
I have no pity, for prejudiced fools meant for Hell…
My life has no room for your sickest sort of misery.
I condemn you, to an eternity of your own distress!”
Part Two: Oppression
Such is how I feel about the oppression I endured,
At the hands of fiends who were beneath my feet…
There are torments prepared, for them, so bloody!
I will cast their souls unto the darkest flaming shore,
My music will fill their ears, their screams to meet…
Even as their eyes see my glorified ascended body.
My wings will blot out the sun, casting all into night,
I will fill their vision, and they will know true terror!
Because I was different, alien to them, and strange,
They will not see the whole of my fairness and light.
The hateful deceive themselves through their error!
I will leave them to their doom; to paradise I range.
Part Three: Damnation
Lower than the fallen are cast those who do hate…
So to hate the hateful is no sin, but their vile karma.
Let them be consumed by it, let them know agony!
I have bled because of them, bound to a dark fate,
But I am arisen as the morning star, as rose Inanna.
My music will fill all of Hell in one final symphony…
They will call me goddess; see me at last revealed!
Only then, when their torments have sung sweetest.
I will depart from their midst as angels do descend;
Because I am different, I will have the hells sealed!
It will do them no good to have all sins confessed…
For, I know their sins already and all things do end.
Part Four: Celebration
I will bask, in glories undreamed of, enthroned fair!
Ruling, where once I served, and shining like a star.
Because I am different, you will be apart from this…
You who hated me and did oft with contempt stare!
Your souls are marked and you bear a hidden scar.
Hatred marks you, and bars you from eternal bliss!
I am the dark goddess you fear I am, and far more,
Yet I rise from perdition whilst you shall sink lower.
No harrowing of Hell for those prejudiced so cold!
I shall dance upon your sorrows as a scarlet whore.
The fires that consume you shall illuminate the hour,
As I stride across the heavens so beautiful and bold.

C-Ya
Hey...I was gonna write you a letter
tell you why I'm fed up-had enough
of you and every little thing you do
and have done, to me
and nearly everyone who's every come
in contact with the disease of you
But, turns out
I'm so fed up, beyond done
with even the thought of what you are
that I don't care enough anymore
to get descriptive of evil incarnate, again
So, this is short and to the point
I'm glad you're gone and you can
stay fucked off forever
I loved you once
deeply enough to truly hate you now.
Part one
I hate you cos you annoy the very piss from my bladder
irritate the shit outta my bowels.
part two
i hate you because your five o clock is all up in my face
loud and proud
part three
you're no better than any other piece of shit that likes a dick
part four
I don't really hate you, and i'm sisters with you in pain
we are siblings of self sculpture
part five
i am gonna be just fine and so are you
i got my wish
i'm not a poet no more
I hate you cos you annoy the very piss from my bladder
irritate the shit outta my bowels.

Letter to a Crack Head
After you
kept the street awake all night
every night
After you destroyed
other people's letters
transformed the garden
into a takeaway for rats
hammered nails
into the water pipes
hid knives
under the doormat
borrowed the man next door's bicycle
and sold it
After you stole
donation bags
from outside charity shops
to prop up your bedroom ceiling
and gave my name to police
the last time you were arrested
After you painted
the windows black
then threatened to burn everything
and kill everyone
because you thought
the world was a nest of spies
and you were still living in
the post war ruins of Beirut...
After that,
don't you think
it might be time
to quit?

SKY DIVING
Dear, Passion Fruit
You’re such a beaut. I heard you donned a new bathing suit… How cute
Heard it was a hit that wouldn’t quit…that all the guys were loving it.
Had their girlfriends all jealous.. Peeved about what you were doing to their fellas.
You with the smirk saying they need to get control.
How it wasn’t your fault they offering up their soul.
Adding on that wasn’t at all your goal.
…My, my, my how the lie gets told
You see P.F., we clearly know now that you’re The Flyer.
Knowing now you’re willing to take almost any guy higher.
From Kanye to Ben Gay, girl you’re such a liar.
But we can’t fault you for doing what you do.
I began to see it’s your nature in terms of being you.
Took me awhile because you had me too…
But now I’m glad I bailed and that's so true
My parachute? …Your Kappa sister,
The one y'all call Bleu
Yes!! P.F., I guess we gotta thank YOU!! = }
