Cat Vs. Dog
 Jan 2013 L Smida

You see, I am a dog
loyal to the end, overbearing in my love to be sure
when you beat me
for years I still roll over on my back
thinking a belly rub would fix the bruises
eventually though, a tail goes between the legs
and some amount of reluctance and fear is felt
even were a master the same for years on end
a dog may be loyal but not stupid

And you, well you are a cat
indifferent, solitary and self satisfying
knocking dishes off the counters
hopping down and not looking back
******* in a box, knowing someone else will clean up the mess
feed you, pamper you and when you feel like giving love, you will
quite possibly with claws extended and teeth bared, hissing

And this is why I am now a cat to your dog
do you get it?

Entangled in bed sheets
lost in each other.
Trapped by the covers
together forever.

Are you like        And though
The last one?     Your lips were
I wonder & worry     Very clumsy
If you'll be right,      And fumbled like
Right for me,        I actually made you
At least.          Nervous. You! Nervous!
You were cute,     Ha! What a silly
When you asked     Thought, But, I could
If I needed a      Feel the heat, I didn't
Goodnight kiss.     Mind your fumble
Then I asked      I knew it was sincere, the
If you thought     Thought behind it,
I did.           I touch my lips now,
And you replied     Thinking of it.
I think you do.     And, boy, I haven't
Which was oh,   Touched my lips
So very clever, you       From a kiss
Clever boy.      In a very long time.

You let them walk over you,
And crush your dreams and
put you down.
You stood quietly in the back
row for so long.
You felt others pain and took it out on
yourself.
And you cried because you didn't know
what to do.
And all you could do was be there
In the back
I am tired of watching you
go thru this
Stop being the sad one
Stop holding back your views
Talk, Speak, Shout, YELL !
do something...
Don't tell me you are worried
or afraid
Don't say you can't be yourself
Be who you want to be!
Stop feeling this pressure
Just let it go already...
You feel sorry for yourself
I feel sorry for what your missing.

I see you with him
and feel broken inside,
yet all the while
I am happy for you.
Yes I am jealous
but seeing you smile
and watching that
love and bliss
flow from you
I can't help but be
happy too.
I guess it's time
to finally let go.

Open your eyes, child

It's not a dull gray world you live in
See the color of life refracted through curiosity

This world is so much more than a
monotonous day to day existence

Every second of every day there are
mysteries waiting for you to solve

There are questions
burning for answers

What is that star in the night sky?
I'm glad you asked
Keep asking questions
Always ask questions

Never let up in your search for understanding
Ask the same question of different people
Question their answers
Challenge your perceptions
Keep Asking Questions

Can you?
Should you?
Why not?

Don't settle for an answer.
Find more questions.
Questions will shape your life
will alter your course
more than answers ever could

Answers are only questions that no one asks anymore

White Walls

She was forcibly admitted
at one point she was 'normal'...
white walls are now all she dreams
thoughts once so vivid with color.. alive
now deadened by sedatives, colors dimmed
awakened to the world, into a cell was she tossed
masks, pokes, prods, tests, something must be wrong
feed her pills, cloud her visions, steal her light
she is still inside somewhere, even if deadened
there is a flame to be sparked
but she was forcibly admitted
so now she sees nothing sleeping or waking
*just white walls
A random thought. Not a true story. This isn't even about me. I just ponder what would happen if the things I think about would drive me insane..

You've got me writing cliche love poems
and listening to Taylor Swift songs
You've got me sleeping as much as possible
just for the chance to see you in my dreams
You've got me spending all day miserable
because I can't be where you are
You've got me finding any excuse to text you
or doing anything to make you smile
You've got me going completely crazy
acting like those kinds of girls I laugh at.
You've got me
But I don't have you.

liar

For someone who prides themselves on always being honest,
                          I am really such a liar

And for someone who likes to act all cold hearted and tough,
                            I'm a lover not a fighter

And when I say "I don't care, I don't care, I don't care"
                          It's because I care too much

And when I seem level headed, collected, and calm,
                            My insides are really mush

So when I inevitably get **** faced and text you:

                                        "I love you"

Or,

               "I  hate you"

Or,

                         "I hate you because I love you"

Please let me down easily

Because for someone who constantly claims you mean next to nothing to her,
                                           I am really such a liar.
