it's ok Dec 2014
I'm going to tear my skin apart
And I'm going to spill my guts,
The world will know how vulnerable I am,
Then they'll break my bones,
Maybe they'll feed me to the coyotes
"What a shame!" "Such a loss!" They'll scream,
They'll yell about everything I could've conquered,
while they're pinning my flesh down,
for all my worse scars to go on display

Oh society, do me a favor, and **** the standards.

I know I'm just a random game to pass the time,
I know that I'll never be far more than sublime.
Yet I'm still letting the days pass me by
Just trying to make this silly little poem rhyme
Never in my life have I been truly alive
But when you came around I was slowly revived
Then all at once I fell, I knew I won't survive
But I stood up, acted as if I was alright
But if you asked me, even just once, I'd tell you why I'm really not
Because that's how foolish I am, we're all fools for the person we love
Of course, I know that I'll never ever be considered an angel,
I know that I'll never ever be the one who makes you feel crazy.
But do me a favor right before you leave
Just one little thing, for my heart to be in peace.
Could you please just give me something to remember?
Cause I'm close to that point when I want to surrender
Just please, please give me something to look forward to
A kiss, a hug, even just a smile...anything could do.
Cause you're the only thing that gives me hope for the future
And I hope whatever you do, you'd remember it too.
When you know someone you love has little time left...you can't stop counting down the days.

Our wedding was a waste of everybody's time
Though back then it did not seem so
We playfully argued about the choice of wine
Now neither of us can drink Bordeaux
The band that played Bittersweet Symphony
Should have erased sweet from the chorus
The wedding poetry was just wasted on me
And the waste of good thesaurus
But your choice of favors...
The sugared almonds
were simply
out of this world!
Ah well, such a long time ago.
I still hate sugared almonds
But I can manage a *good* Bordeaux.

Delicious
tasty
I sit and savor
The flavor
of the favor
that was done for me.
you see,
all that will be done
Under one,
Below the others
Deny our mothers
The right
to fight
For everything
For just a fling
Risk your life
for a light
notice the night
and tomorrow
know the sorrow
the pain,
all in vain,
The risks that you tell,
That you unveil
As if it's you God given right,
To scream
To breath the air that we all share!
You sit and stare
Above us all,
Thinking for you
About what got you there.
About the fight
You.
We fight You!
We fight ourselves

It's all I could ever do to read this
informative wall scrawl, idle
eyes hiding from peripheral refuse
scripting lines in lines in lines
the lines
engulf and then recede at light speed
inverted to white on black as the last night's
last bright stars erased over our expanse and
while I continue to dig, I await some conclusion or loop
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
while I continue to wait, I dig at conclusion or loophole to return
I find only my positive proof to the absolute
Did we move?
I never did
