American I am a 24 year old amateur writer with no published works or collections. I have just started submitting my work regularly and hope to gain feedback from the community of poets here.
A perpetual existence from 9 to 5 Live to work and constantly strife to fulfill your Debt and monstrous mind A colorless life of an unusual kind. Lost in technicolor talking heads The only moment of clarity comes after your dead; Lovely, Long, Laborious days A life made worthless for a little pay When it's all said and done and all that is left is a little bit of money and a lot of theft A stone, a hole, and a forgotten name A house, a car, and a lot of shame.

The American Reality
Lying on an air mattress, in a metal box by the sea, I can see them, but they can't see me. I watch as the numbers flow down the screen, and the planes are painted in red and green; A solitary station that no one sees, How I ended up here is beyond me. Choices made for some reason or another, Isn't this the kind of thing you blame on your mother? A brief look back through my time and crime, Reveals so willingly how I ended up fine. My action so slowly crafting my place, My mind so cunningly setting the pace, My body so completely embracing my path, My conscience so silently withholding it's wrath.

Solitary radar station
Political policies; panhandled; purchased Options? Opinions? Opted out Like lemming lightly leaping Instead interested in intre$t Taken totally to the top Individuals internally interrupted Casually castrated, cautiously captured Some sad sadistic soul

American republic
Communication/ medium of the mind Improper transfer; difficult time; Gears and pistons fire steadily Words are formed and jump out readily Filtered or not; good or bad A possible high, or impossible sad An idea new, bright, and free A rain cloud of dark, of which you can see The freedom erupts! The face celebrates The storm corrupts, the eyes retaliate A perilous game played (by two) together An exchange we somehow all get through A skill we improve with each Endeavour

Communication
I strip to feel the soaking sun, to drip the yellow glare, beneath the blue and white laced run, of daydream's clever snare. This foreign land or greens and reds, and horrid spots of black, natures paint of words worth said, and things worth taking back. A natural land of unnatural tastes, human filth piled high, a wholesome way put to waste, a self imposing lie.

i watch as the demand falls from his lips with no Perhaps it lands on my(our) ears the Eyes scream the finally of a weak will and the body if fitting for such a small thing my will cringes with Nothing and Everything the Eyes flicker sadistic understanding Instinct reminds the Always of the Never and the commotion awakens Reality my(our) swallowed must's exhume forever me's reminding the Always of examples made

The tiny man and murdered me's
the Longing the Body in which I belong to feels so worthless at times of Longing images of you; the World but a veil over my mental eye; for all I feel is you Daily must of a second nature justified by the Longing that makes me weak; not in force but Will for what is a Will that longs but does not acquire? to see the Sun glisten off the sweat from my brow is to see your face always apparent; Alive, Active in every action and every part to see and say nothing without you in it, behind it, above it the Longing is welcome; it embraces who I am and reminds me where I will always belong. With you.

the Longing
Drop the lesson taught, Consider the objective sought, By the values almost burnt; Only the ordinary is yearned; Curiosity now deemed a crime, Is pursued you shall serve time. Master the lost skill of thought, Things should be earned and not bought, Dormant survival sealed in it’s grave, Three days; resurrection; makes you a slave. Intuition smothered with testaments of old. Soon your spirit withers; dead and cold. Life has no meaning unless given, no sense; impractical, instinctively driven, Repeat a pointless existence; death is the only fact.

modern dark age
Absolute answers are atrocious, Nothing can cover anything entirely, Forget the testament of corruption, Lost is practical thought. The will to power is buried in instruction, On how to live and what to believe, A barrier erected; scarred by destruction. No way to make a breach. The others are trapped , at least from my perspective, they perceive with their mind, for their eyes are useless behind a wall. The see only up, into an empty sky, The world is controlled behind their wall. Forget the testament of corruption, Than the wall, shall fall.

too many wrongs; not enough rights
Intriguing behavior without explanation, Lost in though, confusion; invasion; Raiding my mind of all lights, Darkness creeps , no way to fight, The questions arise with no answers, I wouldn’t want to know anyways. Ignorance may be the antidote to pain, Intact is love, but there still is gain; The experience, the memories, the absolute bliss, Too bad it seems I lost it all for this. Even though this gives me what I need, I lost in you, my life creed, It seems to occur in cruel cycles, The loss of my love, my feelings recycled. We drifted, it’s true, there is nothing I can do. I’m trapped, I’m lost, I can’t see you, I thought, again, I found a woman, Who accepts time in portions, Your life may freeze slightly till I return, But freedom is yours, completely earned. Not mine to own, reserve, or police. I just hope you’ve found peace.
