I'm not a real girl, just a ******
Cis boys don't like me
Unless they chase, but I'm no bait.
Unless you let me
Whip it out and look in your eyes.
Unless you stare
Back with fire skipping my life.
But I'm
Not a real girl
Just a ******
I'm missing a hole
If that's what keeps
Me unseen, then
Bae,
I don't need
Your world

in a box
candy
chips
two apples
a pear
are in the box

the box
is sitting
on white
tiles
and that
is where
the box
lies
nothing special.

Ideas and communication:
Both of those energize you.
Whatever stifles your self-expression
Can dangerously immobilize you.

For you there's always something new
And interesting to be explored.
Two of your biggest fears are
Both routine and being bored.

Your raison d'être could be
Your intellectual curiosity.
You could, on the other hand,
Exhibit an uncontrolled verbosity.

You devour information.
At multi-tasking you're number one.
But if you go too far, you'll be
A jack-of-all-trades but master of none.

Projects, errands, and meetings keep you
Occupied and on the go.
"Variety is the spice of life!"
Is stamped on your portfolio.

Wanting to know everything
About all others can be a plus;
But when other people want to know
All about you, don't make a fuss.

You're extremely adaptable
To changing ideas and situations.
When others can't keep up with you…
Well, that causes complications.

Slow down and keep in mind
That not everyone shares your ability
To store so much information
And thrive on natural versatility.

A constant need for a change of scene--
To which you hold strict adherence--
Keeps you moving. Just be sure
To cultivate perseverance.

Because of your mental dexterity,
It's easy for you to jump through hoops.
Because you're good at networking,
You are comfortable working with groups.

You often know what others are thinking,
And if you're more the extrovert,
At sales you are dynamite,
For you could sell a guy his own shirt.

If your focus is too much on
Mental stimulation, beware:
Others will think you're superficial--
That you are distant and do not care.

Always full of energy,
You're the social butterfly.
You still need time to yourself;
"Freedom!" is your battle cry.

Don't take on too many tasks
So that you leave them all unfinished.
Restlessness and nervousness
Can make you feel drained and diminished.

If you learn how to concentrate
On one thing at a time, you'll find
It's not that hard and helps you center
What could be a distracted mind.

Balancing the mind and feelings:
That's the biggest challenge you face.
Use your insight, wit, and charm
To make the world a better place.

-by Bob B (5-20-17)
We're being told here
that we're being held here
and it's here
where I hold on tight.

It's a message coming through
right?

Wrong
It's a so long and seeya
wouldn't want to be ya
and I've heard it all before.

So nothing moves
no needles on grooves
in records,
no spin
no win
no lists to list
or lose.

I'm still holding on,
but think it's a blink of an eye
think if the time
was not passing me
by
think what to do
if not being told
by somebody like you

I could think for myself.
More conversations to skate under the bridge with.

one stanza to sing
one line in a thousand

who is to say
where your poem ends.

One day I will find
the peace and quiet
I need to release my mind.

I will let true characters
breath themselves to life,

Like an old man who forgot
everything.
So, old memories become new
and he has to see
his wonderful history
as a stranger’s story,

A wish granting girl
in the bottom of a well
who has to feel
the horrors of
all the wishes she grants,

A sacrificial sin eating
psychic
who can see all the suffering
and tries to inform
the world
but is gutted;

I will run myself dry
see my strange selves
fly away from the page.

One day when it is to late
I will find the perfect space
and not write all these pages.

one gentle unseen act
one time in the history of Man

would make an eternal difference.
