Ride or Die
I'm not a sexy lady
so I guess I got no talent
I have pigment of the skin
guess I'm at a disadvantage
tormented by my past
I experience things and write it
guess I shouldn't complain
should be expanding my palate
I see my faults so it's hard to judge
been here longer than most
yet I still feel like a ghost
never thought I'd ever be able to write
do to some personal issues
not making excuses
we all have our struggles, but...
I wish I could find
a little more of a helping hand
wish I could find
a little less so serious
wish I could find little less nasty
feel like some people knock others down
to hold themselves up
then leave behind those that made an impact
wish I could find
a little more ride or die
where we support and care for one another
maybe that's the state of the world
maybe I expect too much of people
maybe I'm just too old
maybe it's use or be used
I fight because this is what I love
wonder if I am the only one
I should be writing erotica right now
something about a girl dressed like a clown
sucking my cock as if it was a vanilla cone
but of course something positive
always turns out negative
so sorry, this is what you get
but don't ever underestimate me
or think you figured me out
my power is my words
and I'll do this till the last DUP is long dead
with the fire extinguished
it will keep burning bright
in my eye

It ebbs and flows here on DUP.... that's for sure.
There are times when I feel alone and then there times when I'm cradled in such enormous support and encouragement. I think people are complex and messy. It can be hard to give and be generous on a continually basis. I often have problems giving someone the benefit of the doubt; the older I get the more jaded my baggage makes me. Yet I try... and that's all I can ask of myself... and it's what I hope I can inspire in even one other...
I do love your erotica but I can't help but feel kinship and reverence when you lay it all out there. I wish I was as courageous!

Well, my hope for the human race dwindles through the years. But, this place is a great place I just wish I felt more a part of it. Then again I realize I can be shitty too. It's just lately I don't want to lessen how I feel. I have a right to feel angry and frustrated, and I do for a reason. It is really not as big a deal as my poetry might show. I mean I have a wonderful life with great friends, and I don't have a hurricane knocking at my door haha. Poetry is my love and passion, and I think after this many years I earned that place, but I don't feel as supported, and I think that is the case for many poets. Though there are people like you that do so much. Thank you for that and much more, friend 😁
