All things bad happen with good motivation,
to lose only to gain in life's destination.

Continue to survive life's emotional falls with endurance,
and you will be compensated for your constant perseverance.

To allow each of life's strife's to leave you feeling dejected,
will create fury, outrage, anger and lead you to be rejected.

Listen my words as they guide to life's great continuation,
.....all things bad happen with good motivation.

Where is my Campbell Soup Can? My Candy Darling, Edie Sedgewick, my "Factory"?

I was promised 15 minutes, it said so on the box, on the manual of life, now where is it?

Did I pass it? Dismiss it? Was it at the bottom of the ******* Jack box I so carelessly tossed aside?

I think not. I think it does not exist, and therefore I think Andy failed me.

Andy lied.
I am a huge stalker....I mean fan, of Andy Warhol. I have read many books on him and the people he had surrounded himself with and think he may have been a bit, um, a touch of a sociopath. If you can have just a smidgen of that. ;)

I would ask you to leave but I have better etiquette,
frankly, at this point I'm just shy of throwing a fit!

I do not say it, as it would be terribly rude.
I don't want to sound spiteful and/or crude.

But please, please, I beg and I do implore,
I want you to go, please, just use the door.

Your company is not as you think, that musing,
and I'm finding this all far too confusing.

So just go, UGH, I wish you could read my mind,
you really, really aren't that great of a find.

Your "Je ne sais quoi", isn't and you are Neanderthal,
perhaps you are good looking but that's about all!

You tell of how wonderful you think that you are,
about your great friends, home and car.

Then go, go to them is what I say!
Quit wasting time in my precious day!

Please, I beg and I do implore,
please, just go, just use the door

I am haunted with the breeze that was you...

Barely noticeable, a memory long gone, a faint whisper in the air.

Without any warning it becomes gusting with a voracious rage, cloaking my very being with rapacious eagerness, consuming me in whole.

I crumble to the floor like a tear-stained rag doll, destroyed by  my unwillingness to admit, I miss you.

"You read,

like a book.",

he said.

"But wherever

shall I start?"

"In the middle",

I said.

"All good books

should be read in

the middle first."

"Where is the middle?",

he asked.

"Now.",

"Our story starts now."

I shall have a long, luxurious bath.

I will fill my tub with self-pity.
I shall scrub my back with regret.
I will wash my hands with ignorance.
I shall clean my hair with lost love.
I will wallow in my very own despair.

I shall have a long, luxurious bath...
LA Brown Oct 2014
To deny one of this very feeling,
is deemed by me as unappealing.

Truly the exasperation of it all,
ones euphoria seemingly to never fall.

But oh so rapidly it can be confiscated,
thus the peril of being elated.
LA Brown Nov 2014
Mommy, mommy are you okay?
Wake up, wake up it's Saturday!

Mommy is sick leave mommy be!
I'm still in bed, can't you see?

Oh poor mommy, what can I do?
I really, really want to help you.

I need water, and something to eat.
Walk lighter, not so heavy with your feet!

Here, mommy, here, is this good enough?
You don't look very well, kind of rough.

Quiet down child, I am sick I said!
Can't you get that through your thick head?

Sorry, sorry, what else do you need?
Would you like a book, something to read?

Turn off that light what are you doing!
Stop those tears, I don't need your boo-hooing!

Please mommy, please don't be mad,
Seeing you sick just makes me so very sad.

Turn off the light and just go away!
I am not going to play with you today.

He saw...
an over made-up clown, eyes caked in shadow, lips redder than reality, cheeks on fire.

She was...
hiding the pain of her appearance, trying to look like the "norm", feeling hideous and needing a mask.

He heard...
her voice shrill and loud, her attitudes obtrusive, her opinions waivering with the crowd.

She was...
desperate to be noticed, drowning in self-doubt, craving reassurance, acceptance.

He felt...
she was cold and callous, harsh with her words, dark and unloving.

She was...
hurt to the point of no return, a soul full of love with no one to love, no one to trust.

He left.

She was already gone.

He is drowning,

          drowning down a well I cannot reach.

He is drowning,

           I call to him, "Come back, come back my love!".

He is drowning,

          does he not hear my cries, my despair?

He is drowning,

         I see the darkness engulf him, carry him away.

He is drowning,

         he is cloaked in the comfort of emptiness.

He is drowning,

        I cannot save him for he is one with the dark now.

He is drowning,

        I succumb to the darkness with him....
My son is battling depression....I would say more but only tears come now...

According to aaamath.com:

An equation is a mathematical statement that has two expressions separated by an equal sign.

The expression on the left side of the equal sign has the same value as the expression on the right side.

One or both of the expressions may contain variables.

Solving an equation means manipulating the expressions and finding the value of the variables.

Therefore I have determined:

*The greatest distance between two people is indifference towards one another.

The "hurrah" has ended,

I am, it would seem, destined to be inevitably invisible.

Hello, my name is Lisa.

I do not care if you were gay, are gay, or considering becoming gay.

I do not care if you eat only vegetables, nothing with animal product, or a cow every night for dinner.

I do not care if you have no children, one child, adopted children, or eighteen children. (Kidnapped children is a grey area)

I do not care if you are conservative, liberal or lunatic.

I do not care if you are a lawyer, a teacher, a preacher, a maid, a waitress, or ditch digger.

I do not care if you dislike animals, have a zoo, or only one cat.

I do not care which God (s) you choose as your own - if any, or none.

I do care and hope that you are kind and loving to those you love.

I do care that you use your food wisely and do not waste. Thinking of others without.

I do care that you treat your children with love and not with violence or neglect.

I do care if you are completely apathetic to politics, as doing nothing, or standing for nothing, creates nothing.

I do care that you go and you do your best at whatever your work may be and feel proud that you've done your best in your day.

I do care if you harm an animal. If you hunt to feed your family be proud - if you hunt for sport you shame me.

I do care and think the greatest religion is being loving, kind and compassionate to our fellow man.

Hello, my name is Lisa.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?**

    Fairest of them all you ask? Your question seems unfair.  
    Am I to pick the brilliant mind, or she with pretty hair?
  
    One who stands and fights for all the things she finds unjust?
    Or for the one that gets a second look, the one that all do lust?

    She who amuses you greatly, that girl with the sharpest wit?
    Or the one with the "perfect" body, that a size two would fit?

   She who will stand and take a bullet in her religion's name?
   Or her with no talent, and yet still strives for constant fame?

   Fairest of them all you ask, this is the wrong question indeed!
   You need to look inside yourself to find the answer that you need...

You mumble when you speak,
but I think it is a cryptic pattern.

I'm to catch every word or so,
weaving them together like a puzzle.

Sewing the seams of a patchwork quilt,
until it is a thing of wonder, of beauty.

I overlook your methods, I choose to deny,
the mumble drowns out the other words.

I hear nothing...nothing but your mumble.

You mumble when you speak....
I'm not really sure if it's insecurity or an effort to sound intelligent. Perhaps the blanks the mumbler would like us to fill in are words he cannot conjure, or is at a loss for...?

I keep forgetting that you get notifications when I like or re-post one of your poems.

If it looks like I'm stalking you, I apologize, for I am merely stalking you.

He said
he would call.

He didn't.
She waited by the phone.

As she thought,
he seemed to like her.

She replays in her head,
all that she did and had said.

Couldn't have been me, she contends.
This is from many years back when dating really ******....wait, it still does!  Before the advent of the cell phone when you actually had to be stationary in your home to get a call. What a pain that was. Now it's much better because he can text you, and 1293 other women at the same time!  Nothing like being a by-product of a "mass-text"! ;)

May you find the peace you so desperately sought.
You tried so valiantly to win the war you fought.

You did not lose, no sir, no, not at all.
But sometimes even the mighty will fall.

Your efforts in battle were not at all in vain.
We must find solace; as you've silenced your pain.

A soul that made us love and laugh - truly one of a kind.
But sadly, humor is merely the mask of a tortured mind.
I wrote this as part tribute to a man I thought brilliant, but part selfishly. When I am in my darker hours, I think, "Robin Williams, THE Robin Williams, couldn't do it either"....it's not about loved ones, or money, or fame - it's about the battle, our fight - I am not weak with my thoughts, nor am I alone. I fight. I fight for all of us "Robins", we can overcome, and if we don't, it is not a failure, it is a quieting of our souls.
LA Brown Oct 2014
Every scar we carry tells a tale.

A tale of who we are,
it is ours and ours alone,
individual as we are.

I wear all of my scars with pride,
and my tale that is uniquely mine.

I hold my head up high,
for this is my scar,
my tale,
no one else's,
I own it.
LA Brown Oct 2014
As I laid in his arms after the passion,
I placed my head on his chest,
the silence was deafening,
for his heart did not beat for me....
LA Brown Oct 2014
A howling wind blows,
                                          the voices speak loudly.

I cower in absolute fear
                                          under the bed covers.

For with each gust
                                          I hear my past regrets.
We got a title - YEAH! Thanks to http://hellopoetry.com/the-girl-who-loved-you/

You're a pretentious, pompous, arrogant, megalomaniac.

I would be kind in calling you a narcissistic sociopath.

You suckle on the financial **** of "your" woman.

In an effort of acceptance their world becomes yours.

...and when you are done, you leave them empty.

Empty and in the cold darkness, much like your soul.

You're a pretentious, pompous, arrogant, megalomaniac.

There is the wonder if dreaming is indeed a form of escape or moreover the most detrimental and destructive process to ones being?
Do we ever truly live our dreams?
LA Brown Oct 2014
I have chosen the path which has led me here,
a path full of pain, sorrow, happiness and fear.

I cannot complain of my present situation,
for it was I who chose my destination.

I have, I admit, chose the wrong path to wander,
thoughts of what the other path held conjures.

I cannot complain of my present situation,
for it was I who chose my destination.

I can feel the destruction of my very self continuing,
with each new path I choose for my endeavoring.

I cannot complain of my present situation,
for it was I who chose my destination.

I fear the next road I may venture on my travels,
the angst of it all with each hour unravels.

But I will not complain of my situation,
for it is I that leads myself to each new destination....
This was written years ago, although looking at it now, I wonder if I should have called it, "Life Without a GPS"?

My arms flit through the air, as if I no longer control them.

The tips of my fingers languidly, yet gracefully dance above me.

In a cursive flow they outline, "WHY?".

I gaze at it, I can see the strength of the word written in merely air.

Leisurely I reach for it, grasping ever so gently at the intangible.

Slowly, and to my dismay, I realize, "Why?" will never be that of a tangible form.
A pointless question, "Why?" is.

Ah, poor dear woman.

You know not what you reap.

Is your pocket book not empty?

Can you not see the drain?

He's absorbing your lifestyle.

An osmosis of sorts.

Is it not peculiar that he brings nothing?

No friends, money, stability, no home.

What do you give? All of the above.

The "society" he craves to be a part of.

He will **** you dry sweet lady.

You will be left a shell.

*Consider this your warning label
I give this relationship four years.
LA Brown Oct 2014
I am screaming so loud that it is silent.
My rage is burning, seething and violent.

My deafening cries in the dark go unheard.
All the words that I speak are seemingly slurred.

Thoughts are charging at a rapid pace.
The darkest of them all winning the race.

I cannot stop my mind it's on automatic.
I just want to hear white noise; simple static.

— The End —
