All That is True - Hello Poetry

Fire

Sitting beneath a starry night
I reflect on the fire of my life
Cold beer don't quench my thirst
So I'll settle for being thirsty
because once you stop wondering
you stop wanting
And when you stop wanting
you just stop
and life just ain't worthy
So while I know the things I desire
what I seek is a goal
I just may never meet
Not meeting it doesn't mean I won't succeed in it
Just means I don't ever plan to put out the fire

Panic!

The walls are closing in
and the oceans just may be parting
only to surround the very small space
to engulf all of my being

The raging tides begin
and the perfect storm is just starting
in an attempt to drown in this wretched place
I have made my way across without seeing

The lightening strikes again
and the path to my lungs is hardening
my hands are worthless as they tremor and shake
I'm dying and you don't even believe me

This poem was another written from a list of topics I provided to fans on my Facebook page. This current topic (panic attacks) was given to me by my friend and neighbor Jon Hicks. I've had panic attacks, and sometimes I still do. They are the worst feeling in the world, and I hoped I succeeded in expressing that.

write. write. write. edit. backspace. enter. post.

why do you write?
to alleviate stress?
to keep from crying?
to find a part of you
that's hard to express?
to keep your peace from dying?
to seek inner guidance to light?

or do you do it for likes?

drunk

I downed this big *** bottle of wine
in a small hope to get you off my mind
but your ******* smile man
that **** has me on cloud nine
all. the. time.
your world is scary I'll admit
not sure if you're friends or family
would accept the idea of me
or let me in
just crash into me
in a boy's dream
in a reality

I'm bare ***** here you know,
I'm crazy for you
you put a glow into my eyes
and the happiness that lacks at home
something I thought I had
something I thought I'd know
Makes me cry tears of joy and sadness all the same
I don't want to hurt anyone
but I can't help what I've gained
So what do I do with it all?
What do I do with you?

Listening to Dave Matthews and getting drunk. Duh.

ain't it funny?

What were your initial intentions?
because your answers aren't good enough
I saw what was shared when you told me you cared and I'm calling your bluff
Did you forget I am a woman?
a smart one indeed?
to think that you thought
you could hinder my mind
and cloud the reality I see
Ha!
HILARIOUS!
How silly of me
to fall into an ocean of melancholy dreams
to think I may have found out
what this all really means
When you're just the same
as the rest of them
And here I was thinking **** what a catch; I've found the best of them

HA!

Intermediate comical humor;
that's life for you, you see
and like a **** fool I gave in
now the joke is on me

Eh. Yeah. Just thinking and venting

a long time coming

Blink your eyes once.

An innocent child
killed just like that.

Blink your eyes twice.

While walking through the wrong neighborhood

being black.

How far has the doctrine of Dr. King
come for that?

Mr. Cooke sang to us a change
was gon come..
and he ain't even here to write the lyrics to finish the song unsung!

I wonder if he is watching from the sky,
and knows we are all afraid to die.

It's been a long time coming,
he said.

And here we still wait
to be dead.

And in the midst of our waiting,
we've decided to
**** each other instead.

I know change is a long time coming

Listening to "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke and reading some history. The Trayvon Martin case came to mind and it still makes me emotional to this day.

torn

Not hanging my head in defeat
just searching to make the water clear
why we will never be
what our hearts' desire
why I must leave my love in the fire
and hope you can forgive me,
my dear

I cry because I love you so
and it is for that very reason I must go
you pull my sleeve and beg me please
don't leave
and while every cell in my body meets resistance
and while I've found what I had been waiting for in all my existence
and while our souls have conjoined amidst such great distance
and with patience and persistence we still found the power within to be

I break your world

and in the name of fear
I flee

dangerous sin

not a wolf in sheep's clothing
more like a tequila sunrise
on a hot summer's eve
not a demon with gnashing jaws
more like a soothing winter breeze
choosing to remain the same on the outside while creating a raging storm within me
even haunting me in my dreams
the danger was always there
in fact it remains to be true
while erasing the worst of pain
in pleasure long overdue
eating at my innards
is the plain forsaken truth
but I am in love with summer's eves
and a good pair of walking shoes
and I enjoy a light blanket of snow
and the wetness on my boots
how can sin be so dangerous
when it comes as lovely as you?

Diary of the Damned

Soul-less Solace

In this, the "intervention"
They insist upon contention
Oh...did they fail to mention
Why they brought you here today?
Infliction of position
A reversal indecision
Can't you tell...?
They're on a mission:
Make the problem go away
For they see not who you are
But who you aren't now by far
They point the finger where you are
To keep the tables now unturned
They never stop...they always stare
Never equal when compared
They scandalize the unprepared
All while pretending they're concerned
Don't you know they know what's best?
So much more than all the rest
They try to force you to ingest
The bitter pills that they won't swallow
So defensive in their offense
Making perfect, utter nonsense
Only one thing holds importance...
See you fail if you won't follow
Strip away all that you know
Conceal yourself in all you show
As long as you will feign to throw away
What makes you who you are
They seek only to destroy
With every trick and every ploy
Until they break their newfound toy
That way, they can't feel their own scars
