the food stamp life
my emo feelings live in the projects of the heart
protesting the food stamp life
they're going hungry within my cold demeanor
where emotions aren't allowed
unless they bankrupt me
tears are money
they drain me of my energy
counterfeits are passed
I don't care, fuck you, etc.
cheap knockoffs of the real deal
soon they'll be doing a bid
for spreading phony feelings
my heart doesn't have time for that shit
even if I felt you soul deep
I would never admit it
I'll let the emotional part of me do time
behind the wall of denial
before I ever confess to having real feelings for you

Conversational....intimate
....you get to the heart of the matter....giving yourself permission to give potentially deal breaking honesty.
A preemptive strike against rejection at some future date.....
And so, the unprocessed contradiction, self-non-acceptance is the call for personal transformation....resolved by the algorithm of having been of a previous perception, you now have perspective and it becomes a paradox, unconditional love sorts it all out. So, poetry becomes the unconditional vehicle, full circle.
Pretty epic before a second cup of coffee on a Saturday.

I see there’s a strong reference to your NOT wanting to care, but I can tell from what I know of you, that’s really a facade, becuz U DO care to ur core :)

Metaphorical hurricane. You remain. I feel no anger or pain here, merely a mellow acceptance.

Some tough lines here but also a real sensitivity. "Before I confess to having real feelings for you." You may not confess, but the feelings are probably there, well concealed. Great write, Brenda!

Sorry Crimmy,
Checking in late(rough weekend. lol).
That was quite fantastic. Kind of another different side to your poetry, conversational, yet emotional and vulnerable.
You're quite an awesome writer, my friend.
Love,
Matthew.

I agree with what our fellow writers have said about this piece, the metaphor, the energy. Creative and emotionally charged.
