CORE MARKINGS
a mcvicar Mar 2018
spit out your clichés at me
and call me heartless,
devour my pessimism without an ounce of the regret that's engraved on my very bones,
chew on the crippling loneliness
that haunts my thoughts and dreams
and ***** out your stanzas of
"roses are red and violets are..."
yellow.
'cause they've never seen the sun,
they're paper thin and falling apart
so i'm focused on ignoring people telling me to look for "the one".

droopy mess
a mcvicar Feb 2018
have you ever tasted words?
the only one hanging from my tongue
is exhaustion

i promised i'd speak up
you promised you would listen
he promised he wouldn't go away
she promised better times were to come my way
we promised we'd stay here forever
you promised all was fine
they promised we would remain intertwined

exhaustion, once again
i'm tired of fixing your grammar mistakes
i feel heavy with guilt unnamed
i feel empty 'cause i gave everything away
11.2.18  / but what am i supposed to do if i can't scream in your face because i fear you'll break?

oblivion three ways
a mcvicar Mar 2018
sleepless nights and
she's sobbing,
she's missing,
   she's coming back
and i'm staring.
i'm waiting
for you or something
   that seems to be happening
   tomorrow
(is bringing
   the sun,
'cause it's rising
   the birds
'cause they're chirping
and you're whispering
   that you've missed me
this evening).

blindfold
a mcvicar Feb 2018
today i switched my contact lenses.
the world became a couple of noises,
blurry lights and never fading shapes.
honestly, the world looks prettier
when you have to peel back the layers.
when you know just how ugly it already is
you really have to strain to witness
anything new

on a positive note,
women's thundering feet could cover and swallow me whole
and we'd be grateful for being trampled
by such an empowering force
I'd die happily *******
if I was only capable of knowing
that my passing would ensure the lives of all my amazing sisters-in-soul (god bless women)
the resilience is striking, our boots will stomp you out,
get ready because we're coming,
men, you better jump boat now.

i'm ranting and squealing
the autopilot won't work
i hate all my words
20.5.18  /  i've ranted about this before. i'm sorry, i know it's unnecesary but i have to let it out.

so, i'm wiritng a book. it's a small one, 30 pages of my own poetry, and i've scraped it all again. i set myself a deadline, 11 days from now and i have nothing. i'm blank, again, and i hate everything i've written so far. i really don't want my brain's autopilot to write this book for me but i have to write something. it's meant to be a gift but... who knows? maybe the talent that everyone tells me i have is just water droplets on paper. i just spit out sometimes and people seem to like it... but what if people tell me  i'm good for the sake of a compliment but not in a critical way. 'cause you can't really say to someone, to their face, "hey, all your feelings on this piece of paper are written like ****. try again". *** am i supposed to do...


UPDATE: i have amazing friends and they've re-motivated me. dear god i love the werid bunch of people that have my back. thank you.
