The bubble
mikecccc Oct 2015
It's funny how
You can feel alone
In a crowd
Even when those
Closest stand near
You're still all alone
Or so it feels
You're in a bubble
You can see them
Laughing and sharing
So close yet untouchable.

what am I writing
mikecccc Oct 2015
it's poetry
speak from the heart
but all my heart says
is grumble
grumble
grumble
so where do
my words come from
what I've seen
what I've heard
mostly it's what I think
which is marginally better
than grumble
grumble
grumble
in my opinion.

Shark
mikecccc Oct 2015
Ya sharp toothed s.o.b.
A whiff of weakness
brings you running
all I need to avoid you
is keep to land
but I love swimming.

Fun with scissors
mikecccc Oct 2015
Chop chop
And cut and dice
So much fun
Can be had
With naught
But a cutting edge
And some easily
Sliced material
Unless your against
A mess because
For sure
There will be
Confetti.

Squire
mikecccc Oct 2015
Training at the feet
of the experienced knights
so one day you
can be a hero
it should be simple
rescue the damsel
fight the dragon
and one day
you'll teach a squire
of your own
but it isn't like that
all your mentors
say different things
the damsel may not exist
and dragons are just
the most obvious threats.

my liege of flies
mikecccc Oct 2015
strip away civilization
and your neighbors
become monsters
who hunt the weak
and let might
make right
you really
don't want to be
at the bottom
of this heap.
inspired by lord of the flies

All i can draw
mikecccc Oct 2015
Are swirly things
And monster faces
I'm not sure why
Perhaps it's a sign
Of discontent
Or an unwell mind
Could be drugs
Who can say
Not I
That'd ruin
The surprise.

method actor
mikecccc Oct 2015
watching you bleed out
is so much less
than I expected
like watery paint
sliding down
A portrait
your last gasps
sound fake
and unrehearsed
I hope you have
an understudy
cause your
out of the show.

there are people
mikecccc Oct 2015
there are people
who **** for fun
there are people
who wouldn't ****
to defend loved ones
there are people
who try to **** trees
there are people
who wouldn't touch
a naked body for fear
of god
people are so different
they come in all shades
and all sizes
it quite frankly
amazes me when
people say that
no one would
do that or enjoy that
for every activity
or inclination
there will always be
at least one.

a sour soup
mikecccc Oct 2015
A cauldron full of hate
seasoned with vinegar
and a drop of scorn
maybe a slice of egotism
boil for a year or so
in solitude and bile
and you'll have
the perfect troll
A golem
of ill will.
Oct 2015 · 153
being human
mikecccc Oct 2015
blood bile
and denial
all a part
of the human experience
same today as
a thousand years ago
we strive for meaning
something deeper
than what we see
and if we don't find
something
than obviously
it was taken
or forsaken.

I don't want to know
mikecccc Oct 2015
The worst lies
are the ones
we believe even though
we know there false
the lies we want
to be true
the lies we need
to be true
the ones that
when uncovered
leave the world
just a little bit darker.

gamble
mikecccc Oct 2015
Roll the dice
and pull the lever
make a wager
you may win
but probably not
the deck is stacked
and the house
usually wins
but in theory
you could succeed.

that's not love
mikecccc Oct 2015
If you have enough power
you can make
people do many things
you can make
them weak
them fear
them bend
but you can't make
them love you.

hypothetical
mikecccc Oct 2015
Hypothetical questions
are they worth anything
hypothetically what
would you do
really you don't know
you weren't there
perhaps if you answer
a hypothetical question
with an honest answer
we can know your inclination
but that's about it.

in the dark
mikecccc Oct 2015
who are you
when the lights are off
bad good human
I have heard that's
when we're at our
most honest
when we're anonymous
personally even when
I am all alone
I can still hear
what I was taught
maybe that's my conscious
or my fear of getting caught.
Oct 2015 · 208
What if
mikecccc Oct 2015
I'm haunted
By what could've been
Did I choose right
Did I make a mistake
Am I on the right path
I know honestly
That I can't know
What would have happened
Focus on the now
Focus on the now
So zen so wise
But I can't stop thinking
What if.

Bystander
mikecccc Oct 2015
Bystander Bystander
innocent more or less
you do not commit
but you do not aid
you aren't really blameless
but the excessively nosy
are despised
how much is too much
perhaps
it is better to do nothing
i'm sure someone else will help.
Oct 2015 · 234
Afterlife
mikecccc Oct 2015
What come next
When your race
Has been run
Is it nothing
Is it clouds
Is it another life
I don't know
Many say one thing
Many say another
Some possibly the wisest
Say don't worry
Your living focus on that
Which is advice I wish
That I could follow.
Oct 2015 · 199
Ask above
mikecccc Oct 2015
I was told
I should pray
They say it helps
I don't agree
They say the room
That appears empty
Is full of God
Or some such
And I need only speak
But I'm pretty sure
The only one who hears
My prayer is me
And I'm an awful audience.

dignity in death
mikecccc Oct 2015
A lie
there is no
dignity in death
whether you die
on your back
or on your feet
you rot the same
but hopefully
it will bring peace
if nothing else.

Cola river
mikecccc Oct 2015
The river
Full of fizz
The carbonated
River flows
Down to the land
Of sweets and
Rotted teeth
Maybe water
Would be wiser
Unless you fear fluoride
Then maybe *****.

Silly things
mikecccc Oct 2015
People do such
Silly things
They slaughter
And they maim
They burn
And they accuse
Then they look
At these actions
And call them
Heroic or
If their forward thinking
They say such things
Are inhumane
Can an action
Done by humans
Be inhumane
Such silly things
Humans do.

disturbing silence
mikecccc Oct 2015
talking just
to quiet the silence
is rather aggravating
at least to some
others disagree
they feel that silence
is rather distressing
and words are good
for any occasion
or even no occasion.
Oct 2015 · 296
hallmark
mikecccc Oct 2015
there's a situation
I need words
straight from the heart
not necessarily mine
luckily CVS has
some prepackaged words
for any occasion.

Coward
mikecccc Oct 2015
Hide in your box
Else you'll be seen
The eyes burn you
They prove your
Not alone
Play in the shadows
Where the air
Is cool and the sun
Won't find you
Stay in your place
Stay close to home.

Grease
mikecccc Oct 2015
It clings to my fingers
This terrible filth
I can't touch you
Or you'll get it
I try to clean
But it spreads
Could I burn it away
Can I pray it away
They say no
They say it's
Here to stay
It's in my soul
But what do they know.
Oct 2015 · 155
hope
mikecccc Oct 2015
Words words
They describe
The indescribable
Or attempt to
How do you
describe hope
Or it's lack
Closed tunnels
Shut doors
Darkened paths
How do I describe
This pretty thing
I'm not sure I ever had
If it even is pretty
Some might claim
It's hideous a lie
At least to those it left
Or the bitter folk
Who ignored it.
Oct 2015 · 194
Traitor
mikecccc Oct 2015
There is no dagger
Quite like betrayal
Its poisons
Infect fond memories
And the scar it leaves
May never go away.

Armchair general
mikecccc Oct 2015
pontificating
on what was
I see what you
should have done
it might help
in the future
or I might
just love
my voice too much.

nonsense
mikecccc Oct 2015
sometimes
it seems so wise
so full of good sense
a nice bit of advice
yet on a second
maybe even third
or fourth thought
I realize its madness.
Oct 2015 · 156
round and round we go
mikecccc Oct 2015
I had noble aspirations
I wanted to save them
I fought with righteous indignation
Yet all I caused was harm
I lead them astray
I said that in the end
Things would be better
But in the end
Things are much the same.
Oct 2015 · 220
Hands
mikecccc Oct 2015
There all messed up
These hands of mine
I have an image
In my mind
Of what they need
To draw
And what they make
Is quite off the mark
They don't build
Honestly they aren't
Even good fists
But there what
I have so I do
what I can.

Over the cliff
mikecccc Oct 2015
As you tumble down
You may wonder
How did this occur
It should be obvious
But maybe it isn't
Did you jump
We're you pushed
Surely you couldn't
Just appear here
Maybe you stood
At the edge of a cliff
With the wrong person
You slipped and caught
The edge you asked for a hand
To lift yourself up
And you got a boot
To the head
Or maybe your dreaming
How should I know.
Oct 2015 · 263
Youtube comments
mikecccc Oct 2015
Readem and weep
The comment section
Full of genuine critique
And just so much hate
Is this what people are
When no is looking
Is someone I like
Writing these and then
Pretending they never would
Is this just the danger
Of no one being accountable.
Oct 2015 · 364
Sadist
mikecccc Oct 2015
A follower of the marquee
A proponent of pain
Possibly handy
With a blade
Those viscous folk
Who feed on pain
What's the appeal
Perhaps it's just
A sort of quirk
Albeit of a more
Malevolent sort
I hope you don't
Bring them home.
Oct 2015 · 399
Peek a boo
mikecccc Oct 2015
I see you sun
Rising up to watch
Those of us below
I see you and
I think I know
Why you were worshipped
Why you were feared
Such power you hold
And you Don't
Even know it.

Of something bigger
Or maybe a weapon

just trust me
mikecccc Oct 2015
I know where I'm going
You said
I know what I'm doing
You said
It's all good
You claimed
Well here we are
In a land
surprise surprise
You don't recognize.

Frankenstein
mikecccc Oct 2015
You raised the dead
Though not very well
The thing you resurrected
May breathe may even walk
But that special something
Just isn't there anymore
I suppose it's stuck
In the grave.

Computer magic
mikecccc Oct 2015
It all makes sense
Right is has to
It's all ones
And zeroes
Yet it feels
Like this
Weird kinda magic
With hackers
That jump out a
Nowhere.
Oct 2015 · 173
that's not right
mikecccc Oct 2015
What you are doing
Is wrong
I know because
I know
I'm astride a horse of great height
While you creatures walk
It's okay though
You may never join me
I am happy to share
My unsolicited advice
On the ways of right.
because I know is a terrible argument.
Oct 2015 · 122
not quite
mikecccc Oct 2015
It's very close
But no
It isn't it
If I close my eyes
It feels the same
Or so I can pretend.
Oct 2015 · 281
team spirit
mikecccc Oct 2015
it's busy
haunting someone else
so i'm afraid
I simply have
no pep in my step
not much swagger
either but that's
due to my shoes
good for the spine
bad for the swag.

patriot
mikecccc Oct 2015
take pride
in the rock
on which you
happened to be born
even if that rock
finds you distasteful
and you didn't choose
to be born there
it's the only rock
you will ever have
unless you know
you move or such
then feel whatever.

Meat locker
mikecccc Oct 2015
Deep in cold storage
You hang from your hook
So cold and well preserved
Waiting to be taken down
Thinking someone will help
Someone is gonna fetch me
Any time now
They won't.

Winter rising
mikecccc Oct 2015
Winter is on the horizon
Soon you'll worry
About being frozen
The day's are growing dark
The jackets are coming out
A good time for cocoa
Snow peoples and frost bite
Best of all the bugs
And the bears will be
By and large asleep.

Bobbelhead
mikecccc Oct 2015
Your a fine minion
Bobbing your head
At just the right moment
To let us all know
You think all
The bosses plans
Are brilliant
Plus I bet you'd make
A good desk decoration.

Chameleon
mikecccc Oct 2015
You seem to be everywhere
A meeting with
The thugs and the preps
Sunday service then the bar
No matter where you just
Don't stick out
You aren't offensive
You aren't memorable
You just sorta blend
And your a great climber.
