... because the goal was always about making you feel petty and small
Why do I torture myself?
whispers my inner ask
Strength
independence
a small bit of allure
cleverness
intelligence
all. meaningless.
Not even
attuned wit
was enough
to stop me
from having your words
gouge doubt directly
into my psyche
I blinding allowed fresh air to curdle
with sugar coated poison
And oh how I despise myself
for being so easily fooled
{for being a fool}...

Empathy
the ability to
understand and share the feelings
of others
This was too long for the Author's note so I am just putting it here.
When someone paints you as a monster or other things it's not nice. If someone feels like they need to kick me more because I said that then do what you need to I guess. I had to send someone a message due to an issue and it was hard because in this case I didn't think they meant anything bad by it and I continued to stress about how to address it because I didn't want them to feel bad. Turns out it was just...

They Come and Go
They come and go
Passers-by
They stop to refuel and then go on their way
Some stay a little longer to browse
Shop
Getting to know the locals
Then they disappear into the highway
Some stay awhile
Make friends
They begin to thrive in this strange town
Calling it a home
And then one day, just as they came in
They vanish into the night
They come and go
These travelers
Traversing the universe
Sharing stories and telling tales
And the shop keepers
With wanderlust
Wonder what’s beyond ...

Two Lane Highway
It’s a quiet road where one lane heads north, the other south.
I travel life on both sides of this road especially at night.
Never ever meeting the illustrious middle.
Always sunny on the north side, never allowing pain and grief in this cavernous hole of loneliness.
The south side is where I live most comfortably.
Where my real self dwells-
It knows my pain and inner most sorrow.
The disappointment of failures only said aloud in my head and immediately denied.
In silent desperation I drive...

Inner Strength
It can get tiresome always being the strong one, but it's all I know.
Who will catch me if I fall ? I don't know.
I pride myself on being polite, making people laugh, spreading love and light,
But despite my best efforts, I feel I am walking a tightrope , and I'm struggling for balance..
Uncomfortably numb, absent mind,
Once again is left Wandering, is it all worth it ? A red mist is starting to form, and patience is wearing thin, tired of the bullshit, even the nice guy is capable of sin !
Upon reflection, I can see, there is one person I can...

thoughts from a switchblade
I'm angry so I'll let loose in a poem
there's something wrong
my demons whisper it's gossip
or am I just paranoid?
I have refused them entry to my heart
carrying this burden alone
denying any problem
lest they get under my skin
I'm trying to wait it out
hoping things will pass
but things seem to be getting worse
it could be people are just sick of me
I don't blame you
I'm bad-ass with a pen
when my feelings are hurt
my tongue becomes a switchblade
cutting to the bone
with one quick movement...

Flowers of freedom
Rooted planted in the wind
With cool peaceful look
THAT'S THE FIRST ONE!
"Why U Treat Me So Bad"
I don't know why u
Bitches hurt me but I do
I need u to see
See if u will just
Luving like I allow u
Aluving daily
U treat me bad I
Do not know why u hurt me
All I know is love
Is what we both know
Cause u told me this for real
All I need is
For u to see this
But if not it's okay

Idiocracy
Group thought devolves with the emoticon
In a thrice millennial backward step
Towards a hieroglyphic lexicon
Only readable by an Amenhotep
Who knew not what an alphabet might do
In the future centuries ahead
Where typewriters were all shiny and new
And pictographs were completely dead.
But like a mummy buried with a curse
For resurrecting illiteracy...
And texting making matters even worse
By arming folks with more idiocy...
Until, it seems, to escape the knave
One must embrace one's very own grave!
In a thrice millennial backward step
Towards a hieroglyphic lexicon
Only readable by an Amenhotep
Who knew not what an alphabet might do

Where typewriters were all shiny and new
And pictographs were completely dead.
But like a mummy buried with a curse
For resurrecting illiteracy...
And texting making matters even worse
By arming folks with more idiocy...
Until, it seems, to escape the knave
One must embrace one's very own grave!

WHEN THE PAIN GOES DEEPER
Why is it that you are just like those visions, that still continue to be awaken within me. Yet the deepness of my soul and mind screams in these silently dreams. Provoking pieces of evidences that is like opening a book once close. A book of the past lies coming back, from the deepness of the darkness of what is now fragments. As pieces of my heart and soul, but with broken tears still under the layers of layers of hurt and pain.That eventually become invisible to see, upon the surface of my skin hidden behind my eyes. For I loved you with all my heart, yet I was blindsided by your words....

Gros bordel
Belle journée ensoleillée
Tout pour être positif
Mais comme d'habitude
Le métro est en panne
-Fumée dans un tunnel?
-Objet(s) sur la voie
-Suicide(s) ? (surtout aux heures de pointes)
Notre métro est le pire au monde.
Donc je décide marcher un peu.
Pas de bus direction nord
Ok, va pour un bus direction sud
Je me rend sur la rue voisine.
Bordel total: construction voirie sur toute l'intersection,
Tout est en construction, les rues éventrées.
Au moins il fait beau soleil.
Va pour une autre option.....

silent (rallying cry)
it turns out
to be
one of those
nights,
those long,
lonesome dark
sighs
kind of nights,
silent crying
heard
from a
distance,
felt
way too deep
to seem
as if
it could be
real,
a mortal cry
uncensored,
unimaginable,
unsanctioned,
but it lives,
it thrives
deeper
than the soul
resides,
in that place,
that fevered place,
disturbing
as it seems,
it has...
to be
one of those
nights,

lonesome dark
sighs

silent crying
heard

felt
way too deep

To Be Wanted
To Be Wanted
No one wants
to be
the consolation prize,
not to be
the one
in her eyes,
not to have
that central
core space,
the reason
the moonlight
wakes up on her face.
The boxes
she keeps
in her underwear drawer
are filled
with the letters
of dreams of still more.
And every sad look
of having
just settled
reminds
of fourth place,
not even medaled.
