I am myself Jun 2013
Usually genial and kind
Today your cruelty blows my mind

You taunt and tease until I cry
Makes me want to curl up and die

You are the big B
I thought you had my back
Wow... Stupid me

What is the point In
******* with my mind
We all know youre the boss in this joint

All I did was ask for help
Yet you kick me to the curb
Like a useless whelp

Thank you so much for the sensitivity
You inspire my revenge
To be full of creativity
I am myself Dec 2019
For three years I have worked towards a dream
now I am defeated
when you give your all
and it it’s the good enough
how can you keep trying

i no longer believe in fairness
or that working hard will help you to
achieve your “dreams”
that is *******
that corporations feed you to keep you
Complacent

work hard! do better! be best!
no. that’s the koolaid you are drinking
the society that says you can achieve anything with hard work
It is all lies
You suddenly wake up

everything has been a lie
you have wasted all this time
your life is a lie
you have no hope
you are in a corporate nightmare
nothing you do matters
I am myself Feb 2019
It’s no wonder the great artists
rendered you in so many forms
in stone or paint
You could be no more beautiful

Dark lines and a wicked bough
dancing merry eyes
You are everything
I am myself Feb 2012
In deep water

Simplest thing in the world

Terrifying Midge

Hint about snakes

Whispers of Gar

Such subtle implanting

Truly an art

Little words

Dredge up vivid memories

Sharp teeth in a protruding snout

Massive jaws devouring prey

Reminder that you are small and isolated

Nothing next to the mammoth creature

Living only in your fear

Recollections morph and grow

Driven by a spore of contagion

Mention of a looming shadow

Far beneath the place you lie

Seeds have taken root

Hysteria rears its head

Shrieks fill the air

Tiny tendrils burst from their shells

Adrenaline pulses through her veins

Speed unrivaled as she races to safety

Terror blooms roaming freely

Induction now complete

Will must prevail or this shall rule her
I am myself May 2012
The sun with his ever seeing face
Had never seen a being with such grace
He called to her
Come be my bride!
But she was a harlot
Never will I go to your side!
For days the clouds cried
Endless empty nights
The sun had lost his light
She was as cold as she was lovely
But calculating enough to see the gain
So she took to the sky
I will keep my vow she proclaimed
Never will I cease to cause you pain
My domain is the empty night
To which I will bring a bit of light
If you try to touch me I will make you bleed
Your blood is the cost of such greed
Hastily the sun agreed
But soon he began to crave
A single touch that she gave
At sunset he reached out
The moment his skin contacted hers
He was covered in icy burns
His blood spilled across the sky
In no more time than the blink of an eye
Yet morning and night
He continues to try
To touch the one
Who is his bride
I am myself Jan 2014
I'm sleep deprived
Mentally
And emotionally
Exhausted

Things either hurt
So so much
Or
I can't feel them

I can't cry
My feelings have
Dried up
Like dust in the wind

My body
Doesn't even
Feel pain
Not anymore

All I am
All I can feel
Even in my soul
Is tired
I am myself Oct 2014
Toxicity flooding my brain
Blurry, dizzy, drowsiness
Swimming in my brain
I am myself Feb 2015
Climb out of bed
skin glowing in the dim light
every dip and curve of you-
I want to caress with my tongue-

The bones that poke out
above the waist of your jeans
the trail of hair running from your navel
I want to press my lips in worship against your flesh

Your arms are a sin
muscles scream with definition
when your body
strains against mine

Perfectly perky plump posterior
my hands itch to grab it
just a touch
maybe… a bite

Your hair like night-
black and dense-
sensuous silk
curls as my fingers run through

*** is supposed to be a hidden thing
but everything about you screams it.
Who cares about society and its mandates
when you are a god in human form
I am myself Mar 2013
Freezing and burning
Wracked with pain
You held me
No worry for yourself

I lay chilled to the bone
Flesh roasting
Fever corroding my insides
You stayed with me
Warmed me when the cold hurt
Kept me cool when the heat threatened to devour me

You saved me
On my own it would have been unbearable
But you
Lent me warmth and strength
Peace when I was in pain
You told me I would be okay
And I knew it was true
That is love
Really truly love
I am myself Feb 2014
I am a terrible student
I can't focus
I rarely study
If I know an answer I don't know how

I am a terrible employee
I get angry at customers
I'm not always in a good mood
And I've made a target of myself

I am not a good daughter
I've lied
Cheated
And I start fights and argue all the time

I am a good friend
There is nothing I wouldn't do for a friend
I would drop anything
And run to help a friend

I am a good girlfriend
I'll kiss you when you are sick make you better
Do whatever you want
Anything to be with you

I am a good sister
I will beat up a **** who messes with you
I will tell you when you're being stupid
And I'll do everything I can to make you smile

I am a good Aunt
I tell the kiddos how the Doctor keeps away the monsters
I hold them when they cry
And kiss away the booboos

I may not be good
Not all the way through
But parts of me are
And that is who I am
I am myself Feb 2013
I'm clingy
I'm insecure
I flirt
My heart aches
What is it all for??
Is there a point
To all the effort that we make

Alone time
Wow.... I've got NONE of that
Yeah... My life
Is so alone
Save me?
I just need someone
Who will stand beside me
With hugs
And kisses
To comfort my fears
I am myself Feb 2012
So long as I'm awake the smile stays on my face

But when the blackness of sleep overcomes me

The pain and turmoil I feel pours out

My heart rips into smaller pieces by the hour

Soon too small to be repaired

Subconscious speaks while asleep
The tears streaming down my cheeks its screams
I am myself Aug 2013
I am seductress
I am temptress
I am wild
Yet still a child

I am fire
I am ice
I am venom
And the antidote

I am sweet
I am innocent
I am young
But ageless and cruel

Kiss me
Caress me
Hold me tenderly
Oh I do like rough

Dominate me
Bend me
Break me
Now fall on your knees and obey

Pray to me
Worship me
Adore me
Pour out your scorn for me

I am woman
Confusing oh yes
I want something sweet
But that bores me

I am the moon
I hold its serenity
And the pull it has over the earth
I changed as the tides

I am woman
I am child
I am broken
I am alive
I am myself Jul 2014
He is the breath I take that fills my lungs and wakes my senses. He is like the first cup of coffee in the morning. Every thing a about him delights me. His grump and bitterness and the sweetness underneath. He hides himself from most people but he lets me in and his confidence in me makes me love him even more. I want to know him In essence and in details. I know his humor and what will make him smile and happy. I know his likes and dislikes... Even his pissy moods make me happy. His entire person makes every moment better.

Yin and yang
Masculine
Feminine
Opposites attract

But what if
The opposites are
Just two halves
Of a whole

Opposite magnetism
One being
I love you
Yang
I am myself Feb 2012
So full of life and laughter

The things of which I am sorely deprived

Are you a demon sent to torture me

Or an angel to show me my faults

If I believed in either it should be a lark

As I know both to be in existence

Indeed I am quite mad

There are infite creatures

Of which you know not

Do not doubt that which you have not seen

Just because you haven't

Doesn't mean its never been

Who is to say

That a Unicorn never grazed

A Phoenix never flew

Lycanthropes have not roamed

Maenads are simple handservants

Quetzalcoatl was merely a serpent

Ney, Not I

Nor can you I dare say

For if you could

By now you would

With clear and direct evidence

Solid as granite

Seeing as you do not come forth

I will assume you have not

Without mincing words

Go crawl back into the hole from whence you came

— The End —
