I spilt coffee

on myself

and stained

my shirt;

exactly

how I allowed

for you to stain

my heart.
utter ignorance

when he called me a *****,
I said "thank you."

if a ***** is what a woman is
when she calls you out
on your ignorance,
then yes,
I am a *****.

if a ***** is what a woman is
when she tells you "no"
and it hurts your fragile ego,
then yes,
I am a *****.

if a ***** is what a woman is
when she uses her voice
and stands up for herself,
then yes,
I am a *****.

so if you call me a *****,
my response will
always be "thank you."

if having my own opinions
and my own thoughts
makes me a *****
then yes,
I am a *****.

and I am proud of that.

Life's comical creations,
No lack of variation,
People destined to be ******,
Falling with no where to land,

People blessed with ignorance,
No pleas for indifference,
Only bliss and fantasy,
In a world of agony...
I wrote this because in my eyes, it seems the only way to be happy is to be ignorant and unknowing of the world around you

My mother tells me,
how can you care so deeply,
for someone that has moved on so quickly,

My mother tells me,
How can you lose your worth,
Over someone that has never seen your beauty?

My mother tells me,
How could u ruin your life?
Over somebody that hurt u intentionally?

My mother tells me.
How could u waste your time,
While that somebody is living his life properly,

My mother tells me,
How can u hate yourself so much,
To hurt yourself with thoughts about someone that left you so easily,

Your beauty,
Your capacity.
Your big heart,
Your love,

Use all of these qualities
To help other people,
To make people smile,
To shine,
To spread a nice message,
Make a change.

Invest your beauty into something that is worth your beauty<3
Please don´t forget who you are. Always invest in you. If you are sensitive, kindhearted and open, watch out. Don´t expect too much or give yourself too fast to anyone or any stranger. They will bring u down. Focus on your longtermrelationships and be cautious with new people that want to enter, or be a part of your life. Love yourself & your real friends and families first before any other person. I´m ready to start over again when my heartache goes away<3

I want to live in a world,
where I can smile,
I want to live in a world,
where I can cry,

I want to live in a world where,
when I cry, there are people,
there out are people that see me crying,
and these people that see me crying,
they come and hug me,
and I hug them back when I am crying,
they come and hug me,
with all their heart.

This is the world
I want to live in.

I want to live in a world where,
when I smile, there are people,
there out are people that see me smiling,
and these people that see me smiling,
they give me their own smile,
and we smile together,
and we together laugh,
from all our heart,
we together cheer up.

This is the world
I want to live in.

As a committed reflectionist, you say:
'I do like to show things the way they are!'
– but you seem to forget that
by silencing other mirrors' song,
from time to time,
which & whose reality you are about to represent.

What Is It With These... “ Know It Alls “... ?!?

They Seem To THINK That They’re CHOSEN...
When They... HAVEN'T Been CALLED... ?!?

They Really Make Me SICK...
With... ALL Their TALK... !!!

“You Shouldn’t Do This... !!!
You Need To Do That... !!!”

Always Running Some Chat...
As If They’re ALL THAT... !!!

You Have To Wonder WHY...
... Within Their Minds...
They Continually Try...
To Be The WISEST Guy...

Who Knows EVERY LAST THING...
About... EVERYTHING... !?!

They’re INCREDIBLE Folk...
And That Is... NO JOKE... !!!

They Know More About YOU...
Than YOU Seem To Do... ?!?

They Know Every Last Truth...
When They DON’T Even Have Proof... ?!?

They Know About Your Life... !!!

About... What You’ve Done WRONG... !!!
And... What You’ve Done RIGHT... ?!?

And They Even Have The Cheek...
To Think That They Can Speak...
About Issues Within YOUR Family...

As If They’ve... SEEN...
EVERYTHING That You’ve Seen... ?!?
...... Your Family DO.......
When That’s Just NOT TRUE... !?!

The Know It All... PROVES...
How A FOOL REALLY MOVES... !!!

So of Course They’re EXPERTS...
On... YOUR LIFE’s WORTH...
And How You Should Turn...

When It Comes To...
... Your Work...

When It Comes To...
... Your Health...

When It Comes To...
... Your Wealth...

And Of COURSE... How YOU...
Should Conduct Yourself... ?!?

... FRUSTRATED Souls...
Who Just CAN'T Control...
Running Off Their Mouths...
Uptown And Downtown... !!!

The Type of... CLOWNS...
With NO Circus Grounds... ?!?

Because What They’ve Found...
... WITHOUT ANY DOUBT...

Is That They Know EVERYTHING... !!!
But INSECURITIES Live Within Their Skin... !!!!!

So They’re QUICK To INSIST...
That They’re... NOT STUPID... !!!

And Are... NEVER WRONG...
Which Is A... PROBLEM... !!!

They DON'T Deal In BLAME...
Is... What They CLAIM... ?!?

They See... “ People The Same “...

Except For Those People...
... OUTSIDE of Their Race... ?!?

They DON'T Get Angry...
But Can’t AGREE To DISAGREE... ?!?

WITHOUT Behaving Like A Child...
Tantrums Profiled... Within Their Moods...

But They’ll... TELL You...
That Their Always Cool...

I Mean These KNOW IT ALL's...

REALLY Have Some GALL...
And A Whole Lot of FRONT... !!!

But The PROBLEM With Their Talk...
Is That It... LACKS WISDOM... !!!

Their Visions Are Warped...
And... ILL - INFORMED...
Because They’re Born...
From ARROGANT Shores... !!!

Always Claiming To Know...
What They CLEARLY DON’T... ?

They DON'T APOLOGISE...
Because They’re ALWAYS RIGHT... !!!

So... DENIAL's A Friend...
That They Keep REAL CLOSE... !!!

So When They Start To Blow...
It’s BEST To Let Them GO...................... !!!

Because What Comes Next...
Are Things EXPRESSED...
That Clearly Should NEVER...
EVER Leave Their Heads... !!!!

I Mean... Who Is PERFECT... ?!?

But THEM They’re Too CLEVER...
To EVER... ACCEPT...

That They Could Be... WRONG...
Because They’re OH SO STRONG... !!!

In The Things That They Express...
EVEN WHEN They’re Out of Their Depth... !!!!

But In Times of STRESS...
It Seems That Their Heads...
Start To... EXPLODE... !!!

From Their CORE Node...
When Their Life’s On HOLD...
And Their Thoughts Go To Zones...
Where FRUSTRATIONS ROAM...

They Are Pieces of Work... !!!
When It Comes To The Words...
That They NEED To Be HEARD...

TELLING You Things...
That Are WEAKER Than Links...
That... CANNOT Resist...

BREAKING... Like News...
That CONFUSES TRUTH... !!!
With... Tainted Views...

That Make Me Now Conclude...

That There Are...
... MORE Than A FEW... !!!

Whose Lives LOOK All Good...
But When You Look UNDER The Hood...

They’ve Got... ISSUES... !!!
That Provide The FUEL...
For Them To... ABUSE...
In The Talk That They Use...

That Is The DOWNFALL...

of....

... “ The Know It All “... !!!
People sometimes... SM...MFH ... ?!?

Especially in these crazy times, be running talk, as if they're losing their minds, and they tend to be the kind in this set of rhymes !

A shoestring girl
Curled up in an attic
Who’s remembering a family
That’s picture-perfect
Using the dust
To form a father
A lively one
Who’s supportive
That hugs a doll
Made of scraps
A mother
Who loves
Without condition
That’s always scolding
Two brothers
A pair of woodchips
Who run all-day
On a concrete drive
Which lays in front
Of a cookie-cutter
Home
Whose neighbors laugh
And play outside
Where everyone smiles
Free of worries
About the future
Or what will change
Because the memories
Of that shoestring girl
Were morphed to be
Picture-perfect
Through an adolescent
Mind
Full of ignorance
