overdone
a mcvicar Apr 2018
stop blaming your humane pain on a rose's thorns.
you knew you could get hurt so you should have been careful. forget your own overdone clichés... it's not the rose's fault, you were too blind at the time to see it or too busy shifting vision from side to side in an attempt to get someone's best angle, their angelic fake face.

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.

do you shun me?
a mcvicar Apr 2018
so you'll spite me for using my words to express myself
for exaggerating in the name of beautiful poetry
that rhymes like wind chimes
and sounds like fresh mint to the human mind.

but honestly, honey,
i thought you knew me well enough by now
to know that my style and pen are overwhelmingly enthusiastic
in the pursuit of my daily pick of what human nature can gift me.




believe me, baby, it's what i do.
and i'm not sorry at all if that bothers you.
this is the only part of myself that will remain unchanged through losing/gaining relationships and escaping this place.
so, hands off.

unfinished
a mcvicar Jan 2018
i'm back to my wheel of misfortune
the creepy man in the black suit is pointing at
    voyage.

all i ever wanted to do is leave
and it's not even romantic at this point
i hate it here and there's nothing holding me back
empty words that weigh as little as paper

not anymore
why am i always pretending?
i can't stand up in this tiny box of a house
10.1.18  /  11.32  / I'm not able to finish this one but i needed to get it out of my system
