My pockets are full and anyone could tell.
Thank god they don't point it out,
Otherwise I'd feel like a clown.

Put it here,
Move it there,
Try my coat pockets instead.

My Pockets are full,
now you can see.
But still,
It's best you do not approach me.

For you see,
I would rather ignore it and take it on my own,
rather than someone pricking their hand on my broken pencil.

I know it's not right,
But it's my life.
It's hard enough when you have the need to have all these things in a space,
unneeded,
but believed to be needed because I don't need to believe that not everything is needed...

Including me...

My pockets are full,
It's more than I can handle.
So please step aside,
Because to you I don't matter
The need to feel wanted is strong.
Might as well just whine about it in a site no one knows what's going on in my head at night. All but you. Thank you.

Where all the victims
                             of imaginary friends

Still talking
                         even though

They never really said
anything.

We Just made them
                                 up,
                        to make
         excuses for our weaknesses.

Boys will be Boys
Boys will chase those twirl skirts
Better Pull Yours Down
Before they rip you to the concrete mattress
Boys have no self control
Being but mindless humans of ill decency
Boys will spew with slugged catcalls and woos
But your skirt wasn't modest was it?
Boys have no self control
Better you know that now
Rather than when they excuse themselves from all their actions

Thoughts,
unadulterated,
are valuable and rarely spoken.
Excuses,
reasons of incompetence,
can swiftly take their place.
Ease,
no repercussion,
is the motive.
why?
because, it is easier
to make an excuse for your action
than it is to tell the organic truth.

I'm not the BLACK coat
you can HANG
next to the bigotry you HIDE
in that closest of yours.

So STOP
wearing me out
when you want to warm up
your cold views
by saying
"I can't be racist; I have a BLACK FRIEND."

Maybe...
I will...
So one day...
I could...
If only...
I might...
Just maybe...
I should...

Why don't...
I think, really...
To be frank...
I'm not sure...
It's possible...
Probably...
The odds...
One in four...

Within reason...
Yes, quite...
And besides...
Who knows when...
It's not...
In the meantime...
You know me...
Then again...

Given the chance...
Nevertheless...
They would never agree...
It's likely...
Of course...
Yet, there's no guarantee...

All things being equal...
However...
You can rarely depend...
On second thoughts...
Sometime soon....
Well, that's settled then!
A rhyming litany of excuses.

We are done.

I will no longer sit idle.

I will not wait for my friends to get hurt.

It is long past due,

we will not tolerate it any longer.

Do not make up excuses,

listen to what your friends tell you,

do not give the benefit of the doubt;

they do not deserve it.

If they make you feel

unloved, belittled, ignored, hurt, unsafe,

come to me.

If they call you names

*****, *****, disposable, immature,  a child,

come to me.

Tell, if you wish, all of how they have done you wrong.

Tell me, and I will tell you.

Dump Them.

Gone is the time of "It's none of my business"

Gone is the time of "It's not your relationship"

Gone is the time of "No one asked for your opinion"

That is my friend,

and I will no longer sit and let my friends be hurt.
No matter who you are, friend or not, if you come to me and tell me such things I will not sit there and try to reason it out, I will not hear excuses to their behavior, I will not be forgiving. If you come to me with such words, I will be there to tell you to get out of it now.



I am absolutely fed up with people and how they treat others- that is your partner and you will treat them with the respect they deserve or you will get out. I DO NOT care that you are sexually unsatisfied, feel ignored, and feel unsupported when you have tried gaslighting and dragged in so many things that do not belong in the conversation. I DO NOT care if you are ******* and angry- you treat your partner with the respect they deserve. How dare you.

I'm livid that people will treat others like this and I am done being silent.

I feel like I'm stuck inside a fish tank with liquid lies and excuses made of water flooding in. Thoughts of him subside, but the water keeps filling to the top. Somehow within this flooding nightmare, I feel calm and steady. The silence is not what I fear, but the thoughts that occupy it. They float around me, but what I fear more is the fact that even though I know how to swim,
I'm still drowning.
