I'm like a sponge:
the more water,
the more I grow;
the more you squeeze,
the more I shrink.
I can handle the water,
I take what I can and brush off the rest.
I absorb what's needed
and can use that to help others
and apply it to my life.
But squeeze me like a ***** sponge,
everything pours out of me.
I can only take so much
before everything starts to flood -
everything that I ever kept in pours out.
I'm like a sponge.
I can take in a lot,
hold it all in,
but once you squeeze me,
get ready for a ***** flood.

Maybe you'll see these poems.
And if you do,
you'll probably get mad.
And if you do,
that is not my problem.
Because if you do,
it is not me who said you was you.

Don't say I stopped being there for you…
Because I'll have you recall the numerous times
I heard you crying
and offered to be there
and asked you what you needed…
and all you did
was push me away.

You said you'd be there whenever I needed you,
but when I needed you most,
you never came through.
I know it's hard to understand the grieving I'm going through,
but you never tried to understand.
Instead, you just looked at me with judgment,
as if wanting to tell me,
"It was just a baby…move on with your life."

If you think I'm the only one in the wrong,
you got another thing coming for you.
You can take your judgmental attitude
towards everything I do
and let me live my life as I do.
And if that involves me doing art
that you don't understand,
then let me.
If it involves me wearing Pokémon shirts
while I play Pokémon,
even though you think it's dorky,
then let me.
If it involves me hanging out with my friends,
even though you don't like them,
then let me.
And if it even involves me hanging out with my boyfriend,
even though you hate him for no legitimate reason,
then ******* let me.
Because I'm not on this planet to be only your friend,
and it's time to grow up and realize that.

Everyone is so excited to hear
the baby is near...
but when the baby is here,
and the future isn't clear,
the number of people who steer
clear of your tears...
is larger than you'd fear.

When all you want is love,
and you're denied that love,
nothing else seems important
or even worth it.

All I needed was for you to stay,
for you to hold me while I cried.
Because all I do is feel alone,
but when you hold me, I feel so much
more.
But it was an inconvenience to you,
so you left me here to cry.
You say you're sorry, and I know you are,
but it's hard to accept your apology
when it comes from you thinking your
pain and bad mood tomorrow
trump my grief and sorrow.

I don't care about your purpose, I only care about how it makes some people feel. If you're going to post something graphic, descriptive, or something that could trigger flashbacks or anything online and your account is connected somehow (via following, facebook friends, or whatever) to someone you know or even don't know who has dealt with what you want to share to make a point like "all men are evil," then you have to reflect on who you are as a person and how dire it is that you share this piece of information. Is your point so important and "accurate" to prove that you need to put someone in harm's way? Do you really need to post that video of someone being run over or shot, or killed or wounded in any way? Do you really need to share that person's **** story? Do you really need to post that picture of someone's hanging? Do you really need to post any of that? If you really feel the need, AT LEAST - okay? at least? - put it in your settings that someone you may know who is sensitive to whatever you want to post doesn't see it. You want to make the world a better place? Maybe start thinking.

This isn't a poem, as you can probably tell. (I'm sorry!) I just need advice!
I'm trying to decide whether while working this summer, I would want to focus a lot on music and how I might want to portray it - like through covers and mashups and all that jazz.
I've been told I have a nice/lovely/beautiful voice and I love to sing and really never stop. And I'm almost always listening to music, and I can guarantee you I always have a song stuck in my head (usually Cher's Believe).
I just don't know if I should do it. Never mind post to the Internet - that time will come when it may. But I just don't wanna go out and buy a recording microphone, mic stand, a capo for my guitar, and have someone tune and change the strings (because I cannot tune a guitar even if the world depended on it) of my tiny guitar that I'll basically have to spend time learning again.
I really want to, but it's really the money aspect that I'm worrying about.
Should I just do me and go for it and if I really like it, then I can go out and buy all that stuff if I wish?
