jessiah - Hello Poetry

I don’t really write poetry I type it Not like “kind” Not like unkind Same thing What I mean is to say I push keys No weight I mean wait Tables have turned I’m mixed all up I make poetry By manipulating digits That’s a handful of numbers When I mean numbers It’s not average Wordplay savage That’s in sensitive Tissue in eyes ears And no see I’m blowing it Again it snot what I’m trying to say I do poetry Not like *** I mean I do Not to come off As a **** But I am poetry Not literally But I am watching My figurative language You could say “Poetry flows through me” But we’d have to hash out #firstpersonproblems I’ve been getting it all wrong So all that’s left to say is I don’t really right poetry

I want to hold you so you know it's fine I want to please you and your jaded mind If I could make it better I would If I could understand your moods I just I just want to talk to you without all the noise I know that you're hurting but I am not the cause So I tell you not to go yet you faded I tried to let you know but it's thin air I want to hold you close but you faded I mean you're still here but you're not there You tell me that it's just a phase You tell me you've got demons to erase Meanwhile we're missing out on our lives And I can't keep count of all of your lies It's like It's like you want it all to crumble away I know you're hurting but this is not the way So I asked you not to go yet you faded I tried to let you know but it's thin air I want to hold you close but you faded I mean you're still here but you're not there Please Please don't fade away from me Please Please don't fade away I mean you're not gone But you're faded In every way It's the same thing You say you're here But you've faded Every day is even More confusing Every day is more confusing More and more Confusing I beg you not to go but you faded I tried to get you to stay but you don't care It's not like I haven't waited For you I've got an eternity to spare

"Ain't nobody got time for that" So I'll hit a button. Hell, it's not even a hit. More like a tap. I mean I'll search through Some endless animated **** When my words are flat. But idk I want to say more I guess But why bother? Keeping up is a chore. I mean, effort It takes... effort Man Even if I were to tell you, Time won't stop flying. Ain't nobody Gonna notice If we all stop trying.

Go to work. Get engulfed. Thicken your constitution. Deaden your nerves until feelings glance off of your steely exterior. Your apathy is a samurai, deflecting emotions with unnatural precision. PLING PLING PLING PLING the fallen garnish your feet like pencil shavings. You are sharpened. [reads a news article about people suffering] Somewhere, seemingly distant, a voice cries or sings. It starts faint, but you know it's going to get much louder. No. That's not quite right. You know it IS much louder. You know its volume is being filtered somehow. You know because you're doing the filtering. Or a least you're trying. [trying is the wrong word] fighting. You are fighting this noise down. You are an indomitable force that fights everything. Wasn't it you that moved like wind? Wasn't it you that struck your enemies true? A warrior that stands fearless above all. [something is looming] Of course you would want to tune this out. It's not just a loud noise. Pretty sure there's pain involved. Pretty sure you might be hurt. That's why you had to turn the noise down. [it's a scream] the scream down. I mean, even a warrior is scared by pain. No shame in that. The scary scream had to be muted. It's what anyone would do. It doesn't make you less warrior. I mean, did you see those moves out there? [PLING PLING PLING] But something is not right. This [scream] is somehow frightening. You don't feel very warrior–like right now. You feel ill. Weak. How long have you been fighting this noise down? How loud is this thing? I mean, is it safe to check or will the noise crush you where you stand? It's considered unwise for a man to open his door when he knows a flood is on the other side. But you need to open this door. You've been dishonest with yourself [Sun and moon and stars and void] You've been dishonest with the cosmos and it's time to repent. You will drown. It will be relief somehow. [Go home. Get engulfed. Open up your conscience. Feel your scream in every emotion as they ripple throughout your juicy guts. Your catharsis is a newborn fawn, clumsily alerting every predator.] You are broken. You are crying. You are the screaming. [steel melts] You were cutting down yourself with precision. [PLING] You'll wonder how it can be so, in a fair world, that this scream should be turned against you. After all, you've been taught that a warrior keeps their screams to themselves.

I don't think she was capable of love. Just fits of lust; I was worshipped like the moon and forgotten on a cloudy night. Some might question the appeal, or lack the fortitude for being discarded But not every man can claim being a moon god.

What must seem nefarious to the watching birds Is just me tending my yard Truly it's the weeds that should worry Or no Aren't we all in a hurry to grow Just waiting to be pulled By the hands of the great gardeners Or snipped by their tool

Just what is he talking about? #secrets of the universe don't simply reveal into an unfinished mess of synapse and flesh Nay, quite a complicated matter grey that would flutter and flatter across the toiling gases and celestial masses Yet these words contain no more life than the worlds blooming in the booming yawn of darkness Some find their despair a slight but when compared to the fair night they should see the empty in eternity Star light, Star bright I wish you may, I wish you might see the black reveal the white grey together, lips sealed tight.

It's amazing How a pair of eyes can enthrall you I've been watching hers for only minutes And marveling at everything... Everything indeed is there All my terrifying needs I am thin with worth, And with a glance I am pierced by demand How can I ever delight such majesty? Gods help me keep her interest

A man is cool He walks slow, deliberate Can't be persuaded To break his saunter A man can't be a father A father seeks his daughter She is gone, he is desperate Can't be found He breaks into a sprint Scoops her up in his arms His tight embrace betrays his cool A man can't be a father

A man is cool He walks slow, deliberate Can't be persuaded To break his saunter A man can't be a father A father seeks his daughter She is gone, he is desperate Can't be found He breaks into a sprint Scoops her up in his arms His tight embrace betrays his cool A man can't be a father
