Humans are always
Blaming
Maybe that is the Devil
Blaming our bad behavior on the Devil
It's in the details
I suppose

There is an American newspaper
Which pulled an obituary
Written by children
Of a horrible mother
Saying she was a horrible mother
Apparently the press
Is not a proponent
Of
Freedom of the press

I'm not quite sure
You can call yourself
A down home
American made boy
If you weren't attracted to
Maryann over Ginger

Wise ***
Slow to pay a compliment
But when he does
It ranks among the best
Ever
Political thinker
Without any politics
Quick-witted
Quick tempered
Smart
But not smart enough to
Take a breather
Calm down
The boy is sticky sweet

Dear kids
When your tooth falls out
Put it under your pillow
Because this magic stranger
Will sneak into your bedroom
Reach an arm
Right under where
You are laying your head
And leave you a
Nice surprise
Oh
And at Christmas
Let's go and sit
Right
On the lap of this creepy
Oddly dressed
Old man
Who Will sneak into your house
During the night

I'm watching a documentary about racist groups
Such as the KKK
Has anyone else noticed
These white supremacists
Are the most out of shape
Dirtiest
And foul-mouthed humans
Ever encountered?
Apparently
Supremacy
Is very
Unsupreme

Please
Do not cry to me
About how your man
Cheated on you
For the twenty seventh
Time

I tell my kids
It's never "everyone."
If it's "everyone" else
It's "you"

It is painful to break someone's heart
It does not feel good to hurt a Person so deeply
As to break their heart
In most cases
Guilt trips are
Unnecessary

"Deep Thought"  has blocked me
For one comment
Apparently
"Deep Thought"
Is pretty shallow
And can't handle "Different Thought"

Men write ****** odes
Which is only a painful reminder
That men have no clue
How to turn women on

In general
You want to leave
People
And places
Better than when you found them

I give myself permission to say
Stupid ****
Diddlysquit
I'm not above
Being foolish
Embarrassment is
A funny dish

It's really not fair
My interest in you
Solely based on the fact
You're a poor
But occasionally on target
Reminder
Of someone
I used to know
I'm not looking for you
I'm looking for a memory of
Someone I wish you could be

I have the right
To get on my knees
Anytime, anywhere, anywhy
And might I just say
Peaceful protest is
The American way

If you cry alone in the shower
I suggest
You strategically place yourself in the bath

A couple of times
I called one of my grandkids
"******."
They told me they didn't like it
I apologized
And told them
I thought I was paying them
A huge compliment
They also don't like it
When I call them "beautiful"
(They're boys)
I think they might be being
Too picky
Which is probably
The opposite of weird

I know you love me
And you know I loved you
Once
My love changed you
You did not react well to being loved
Or maybe loving
But you became a different person
I am not blaming you for
Changing
Though you are clearly blaming
Me
For refusing to accept
That you have changed
From the person I
Fell in love with
Perhaps it is
You who is the bad person
I do not know if there
Needs to be one
Best wishes
To you

It just might be
Memories
Are more valuable than money
In that bad memories
Money don't buy away

The most profound words
Throughout history
To me:
And maybe to you:
"Forgive them, Father
They know not what they do"

We want the government to
Regulate
And bring a stop to school shootings
Perhaps we forget
The first school shooting
Was committed by
Our government
And, by the way
Their guns were totally
Regulated

Hey
Wouldn't it be great if America disarmed it's citizenry?
What an easy invasion that would be

Some day
Humans might be able to
Change their personalities
Through brain surgery
Designer personalities
Right off the shelf
It may happen

As a young girl
I HATED that I had little *******
I feel you
You young
Little ***** girls
It *****
Being little tittied
Until you hit about 35
And realize how blessed you are
With those perky
Little *******

I know a person
Who began doing ****** with her son
She seems to be
Going to live forever
She used to be a great person
But now
People pretend they are not home when she comes around
I am a person
Who smokes *** with my kids
And I'll drink alcohol
Too
And let me tell you
Some people are real *******
When you add alcohol
I'm not sure why there's a line
Of illegality
With drugs
The worst drug of all
Is tobacco
And I love to smoke
I'm a hott mess
But drugs
In general
Are a hott mess
Because clearly
We've been dealing with it
Inappropriately
Who can blame us?
Drugs are irrational
It is considered a mental
Illness
Drug addiction
(That might be no longer true
But it used to be)

SHUUUUUUT
UUUUUUUPP
DIIIICKWAAATT!!!!!

I wish for the day
It is customary
For females to go *******
In the beach
Or wherever a man would go *******
And I could do that
I think
I don't think I'd get arrested for going ******* at a Cape Cod beach
But I don't know that
For sure
If I can go *******
I probably should
But I doubt I will
Even though I got great ****
I would love to go *******
Without people hiding their childrens' eyes
And I should feel comfortable doing that

Get over your badd self
If you think this means you
It surely does

Sometimes
It seems
(To me)
The word "that"
Is a distancer
I can say
"Do you think that I'm in love"
Or
"Do you think I'm in love"  
I can't explain why
But
It feels different
To me

Growth
(I suppose)
I refrained
Willfully
From commenting
"Your poem bummed me out
And taught me nothing."

If a man tells you
He loves you
And you didn't know it
Already
He is not telling
The truth

Harder on the giver
Than the receiver
I think
It is really tough
To practice
Tough love

I would guesstimate
At least half of
All sunburns
Are totally worth it

If I saw you
I might burst into tears
I might start laughing
Hysterically
Or I might need to hug you
To know what you smell like

O\

I had a notebook
Yellow paper
Which I usually wouldn't go with
But there was something about this notebook
I put my poems in there
I lost that notebook
That is my personal
Library of Alexandria

If you ever saw this
You'd know it was for you
You rocked my world
I look for your face
When I know you're not there
I find others attractive
When they remind me of you
I miss your wise-*** attitude
I miss your beautiful brain
I miss how special you made me feel
You sincerely thought
I was a gift to the world
I think you might be
Irreplaceable to me

My mother was a horrible person
And an even worse parent
She loved to call me a "****"
When I was about ten
Her favorite move
Was picking me up
By my hair
And throwing me against the wall
Maybe because I didn't finish my chores
Maybe because she was in a **** mood
She abused her boyfriends
Too
Yes...it does happen that men are abused by their women
I have seen.it
I watched her throw a *** of boiling water
On a man named Dan
Who was really nice to us
She would do things like that
And men like Dan would pack their clothes
But before they could leave
Mom would attempt suicide
My mother attempted suicide
A lot
This is my experience with suicide
My mother is dead today
****** overdose
I suppose she finally
Succeeded.
This is my experience
With suicide

Saying something
With nothing to say
Is saying
Less than nothing

Guilty as charged

In some ways
I rely on my
Brain explosion
To excuse my saying
(Or doing)
Stupid ****
Apparently
I'm offensive
To people
Maybe it's because
My brain exploded
Or maybe
I'm just a ****
I.don't know
What my deal is
But I do know
I don't try
To hurt people
Take it
For what it's worth

When tough love
Meets up
With someone
Too weak to.
Handle it

I can not fit my opinion to what your situation might be
I cannot express myself freely
Constantly worrying I might hurt someone's feelings
Because they had a traumatic history
Or present
And if you think I'm out of line
Please state so
At the time
And put me in my place
In public
As it should be
If you send me a private
Guilt trip message
I don't want to see it.

Most of my favorite clothes
Were bought at a thrift store

He's the stickiest sweet
You'll ever meet
And he's gonna get stuck in my teeth
If you're into that crew
He'll get stuck in yours too
But remain just right out of reach

I'm looking all through
Now I'm asking you
How can there not be
A face-Palm emoji?

That dude made me pull out the emojis

I wonder if I can get a correct answer by asking the community, and with less effort.  Plus, I offer the community the opportunity to impart wisdom....though I seem to have a mental block, because I've actually looked it up before (more than once)
Anyways...please tell me....
Who was it who said,
"Not all who wander are lost"
?
Maybe I won't forget this time.  
I feel it common knowledge, I am uncapable of having
(This somehow feels poetic, to me)

My grandparents
(Who, by the way, belong in the Grandparent' s Hall of Fame)
Would call me
"Faccia brute"
When I cried
(Not if I was really hurt, of course)
Faccia brute means
"Ugly face"
In Italian
If I was a different person
I'd be dwelling
Oh, alas!
Poor me!
My grandparents called me Ugly!
And when I was crying, at That!
It all depends on my perception
And that's how I will tell it to you
Influencing your perception
Too

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, there was a society which permitted the mentally ill people to steer the conversation on mental illness.

I had my heart broken
By a boy named DJ
Ugh!!!
I still love that kid
If you could see us
Together on this poetry site
You would probably love us too
He was amazing
****
Beautiful
And irrisistable
But he's not the only irrisistable
Man
Though they are
Very few.
I get to know
I broke his heart
Too.
