You are so lovely
Who else would bring me this joy?
You are my only

I love you of course.
But thoughts of him whirl around
And what could've been.

I wish for options
To look from another place
But I cannot look

Just because I said so do as I say,
The law is the law tax payers so pay,
Don't try and make a dollar of your own,
Because without paying the man,
How can you know what you know.
In the land of the free,  
Nothing is legitimate if you don't pay a fee.
Just because you've learned Alot in life,
You better think twice,
Before you speak advice,
unless you've paid the agreed upon price,
Do you really believe someone is eating today because you logged hours in on the site freerice?
The powers that be,
Will never cure cancer or ***,
Not following policies,
Put in place by the pharmaceutical company,
Protected by money and greed,
Corrupt police run free,
Get a slap on the wrist,
Influenced by Green.
Just because we live in the land of the free,
Nothing will change,
If we don't grow a voice,
And take the time to fight back the powers who say,  do as I say you don't have a choice.  
Let's bring on the destruction of corruption,
I'm tired of our justice being obstructed.
I'm sick of being told just because I said so about anything.   Policies put in place by ignorant corrupt people because money is running the show and we the people need to stand up for our rights before they are all taken away

Being called “annoying”
Is like a glacier, frigid, rigid, inescapable preventing from social contact

A choking, strangling feeling penetrating your veins. A stone crushed by the might of a palm

Isolated, observing, analysing social conversations yet never overcoming the boundary

A tether severed and knotted to the throat. A rush of pain caught in the wind at the hilt of the dagger.

But a hand, a few words can reach into the chasm, rejoice and untie.
Create connections and weave intricate relationships, to bloom into a captivating flower.

That hint of compassion, gradually using the rubble to form a new personality, saving esteem.

Blooming, prospering

i can hear
noises that pierce
this room that is filled
with people shouting silence
with people bringing silent noises
this room that makes me feel
deaf, ever so deaf, deaf
i'm very annoyed
i can see...
noises are annoying, but what's more annoying is my own annoyance

It pains me knowing that I live in a
world where primal physics
is valued more that
chemistry.
Lust over love...
There's more to life than *** -__-

I'm tired of waiting around for you,
tired of knowing I come last but still hoping to be picked first,
like a child in line for kickball who never makes the team.
My heart feels like your kickball,
discolored red and rubbery from the trauma.
I just want to be the team captain for once.

"You're Mexican?! You don't look Mexican?"
             "What's Mexican supposed to look like?"
"Oh, you know... Sombrero, a curly twirly mustache, maybe like holding a taco!"
            "I am eating a taco."

"No, like a real taco.
One that is like made in Mexico,
with like Mexican beans,
and Mexican ladies.
You know what I mean."
           "No, I don't."

"What's it like? Did you have a quinceanera thingy? Do you speak Spanish?"
           "No and no."
"What?! Then you like aren't a real Mexican. All Mexicans can habla Espanol."

            "Oh, you know what. I forgot. I know what it is."
"What?"
             "I'm not just Mexican, I'm German too."
"That makes like total sense. No wonder you can't speak Spanish. But wait, like were your family Nazis?"

How hard is it,
To pick them out,
Together.

I mean they specifically come in pairs,
Two, dos, zwei, deux,
Trapped together by plastic handcuffs.

Pairs,
Like pairs of binocular eyes,
Like a pair of hearing aids,
Like barbeque chicken wings,
Like that obnoxious aunt and uncle.

Are you a slob?
Is your closet a mess?
You’re definitely a person who leaves hair in the drain.

Why do they cease to match,
Is it to purposely annoy me,
While I’m waiting for this **** bus,
which was an hour late,
two hours ago.

One is green like it was picked from a nose,
One is orange,
Bright
Orange.
You had to pick the most clashing colors, right?

And I can see them,
Right there, poking out of your
Adidas flats.

They taunt me,
Regard my shoes with noses turned up,

Play tennis with my emotions,
And twist my brain like a contortionist.

Were you in a rush this morning,
That you totally forgot to look for a pair,
An ACTUAL pair?!
There were absolutely none?!

Is it wrong that I’m judging you right now,
Or that I definitely would not want to have a conversation,
Let alone sit next to you.

Socks are supposed to match,
That’s how they’re made,
Knitted, sewn, and colored soulmates,
S-o came along and bonded with c-k-s,
See, it’s chemistry.
This would be a spoken poem
