33/F/American I've been writing poetry since I was about sixteen, so that's about seven years now. What I have posted on here are what I find to be my best poems since I began writing and a few new ones. I will be posting more when the inspiration strikes.
Just gonna run for hours once the sun comes up Sleep and rinse repeat until I reach defeat Maybe I'll be alright, maybe I won't Maybe I'll take those silly meds to keep them chemicals in check Maybe I won't! I don't give a Hmm maybe I do Maybe I don't Money, money makes the world go round round round And I just don't got enough They got me got me got me Right where they want me I don't give a Hmm maybe I do maybe I don't I'll be alright Alright as a poor ***** can be In this ****** economy With people you can't trust Who leave you in the dust! 98% to be exact Statistically speaking They are waiting on your back breaking So they can be there and care for you in your despair. I don't give a Hmm maybe I do.maybe I don't. Nobody has triggered my sense of utter disgrace in this human race Well now that's a lie Because its all of you I don't give a.

Rinse and Repeat
Pseudo or jaded... Everyone I come in contact with is degraded No fresh starts, baggage in each hand How can I start where someone has brand Cutting into their flesh, a maimed label upon their skin Revealing to all others, the uninviting of their kin A marvelous creation, ruined by tainted fools Who don't appreciate how to communicate They just suffocate and constrict the worthy Of their deserving, and now we're left silently observing

Genuine or of the kin?
Woke up Ate breakfast alone, again Longing and wishing Dragging though my day Everything is just okay Right in the middle of the equator kinda day Challanges; non-existant Travels, much too distant Body, tired and slow from no excitement Don't want to complain Just spitting it out Trying to explain But hey, everything is just okay Yeah its one of them days

One of Them Days
Floating in my head as I drift into slumber. Awakening to reach and feel. Feel that warmth. Not coldness and tightness in my chest. Breath the life back into me. Breath it. Breath it please. Fear gets us all. Grabs us tightly and is forceful and ridgid to relase. But we can be free if we just relieve. Relieve and retrieve our own life into ourselfs. Just breath it breath it please. Lonilness attacks hard and we can't believe that anything can be strong and steady. Instead we take a step back and plead. We're hurt and yet we hurt another in our attempt to heal. But its not healing instead were stealing. Draining others. Satisfying thirst. Inquenchable. Take another sip its a sweet hurt. So just sip it sip it until the last drop is disipating against your tounge. Sour as vinegar in your mouth. But your soul is tame and satisfied. Then the wind whisps and air is knocked back into your tight chest. And the clean oxygen is as beautiful as the warming sensations pulsing though your blood stream But your energy is drained. A pained soul drinks up. Your heated blush face turns pallor and your extremities run cold as ice. The vice drinks you up. Keep on sippin until you disipate.

So It Goes
I thought this was natural Born within us As children our minds are read Instructions printed on a page, we figured; Someone was there, with the medicine Curing each desire, and whim Leaving that realm We realize, To love one another, such a difficult task To treat each other with respect Easier to hide behind a plastic mask To work hard in difficult times Simpler to deceive and take another bite Looking too hard & Waiting too long Grows tiresome We ignore the red flags popping up left and right We want it to be so right and so true Blinding ourselves and blaming each other We're never going to get what we want under such weather. There's emptiness in our minds and vacancy in our hearts The voids are parasites grasping for more and more nutrients Neither are fulfilled and death is approaching The heart is beating slow, the lungs are quivering in smoke and the mind is in a fog Never to reach solace, lost in a universal smog.

Universal Smog
Y our a pathological liar A pretending villen in disguse Your muse is attention Your a puppet master with your snake eyes Weak when you stand alone so you grasp at another There you are, standing on thier shoulders Can't you be man and learn from your mistakes No, you only look to find whats there for you to take Its not that you left me Loved me, but was pretending Its that you can't even admit The worthlessness that you yourself has commited Honesty you say You stood by and were a man But you lied your *** off until the very end The whole entire time It was a plan of torture Every smile and every nod Every insult and every blunder You chose to decieve And continue going on Even if our togetherness was truely wrong If it was over for you Why didn't you leave me I'm not a piece of glass Your not going to break me Your a coward Plain and simple The truth hurts maybe But your a fool and you lost in this game baby

Unbreakable Glass
With blinders on they let the wrong go on No interventions No attempts to make it right Look the other way Not putting up a fight They must kinda like it You know If trust were an ***** Then I’d say they’re looking for a donation Another one to ***** up Like cirrhosis of the liver They’re lookin’ to corrupt another Kinda a sick when you think about it Acting as if nothing occurred Forget that pain we condoned It’s as if I’m a scapegoat, placed on throne Smiles and chitchat are replaced suddenly Each with a heavy rock and jagged stones I emerge from the mess; still angry I don’t fight, No I don’t get revenge But I’m still angry What do I do when I’m still angry I want to cause pain I want to get them close and turn my back I want to be the one with the power and the patience The push them to the brink and fill them with self doubt But no, I don’t fight I don’t get revenge I just get angry.

Dear, Enablers
Stitched up and tied with a bow. On my doorstep, it rang. Sound bountiful in my ears. Knocking now it wants to get this started. Tapping in my head continues on. Pounding in my head it continues on. Pulsing in my head it, continues on. On...on...on.

A Few New Things
Natures wind blows hard And nurture is not so sweet Tornadoes brew And volcanoes erupt Yet nurture is still cold as the ice nature creates A being lies still; corrupt. Thunder clashes and the lightening follows Wheres the middle ground? Wheres my middle ground?

A Rock and a Hard Place
Sometimes it works. When I grasp the pen tightly Spreading words across a page Letting go. Other times I need to sweat Sweat out the pain And sweat out the fear I need to sweat until I don't feel. Letting go as my soles slap the pavement Blurs of the grey sky and the green forestry surround me Forgotten; the life that engulfs me. Forgotten; the waves that slam me. Forgotten; all the thought processes and memory. Letting go as I slow and regain composure Drenched in the sour pain that lived in me.
