If I go to a party, and see at least one girls ***, that day will be my best day of that season.

I’d drink myself to the point where the toilet could be advertised as a painkiller. But **** standing up, It’s not that I don’t trust my aim, I just like to keep things as clean as possible.

I often find myself apologizing for actions the morning after inebriation. It’s weird. I’ve grown old enough for understand consequences but not enough to try and and avoid them.
Old enough to regret the relationships I’ve destroyed then still find time, to break down a few more.

I’m still scared of commitment. I’ll spend 2 years learning to love all of your facets and flaws, but spend so much more of that time looking for a cause.
Exploring why I bother to love anyone when I feel so insecure. You’re affection may grow but I’ll never feel sure. It all becomes a chore. Asking you to outline whatever good in me you thought you saw. But sometime or later I’ll be asking for a redraw.

It’s a funny word ‘insecure’. It’s funny that even with all the nightmares we’ve been through. The experiences we’ve accrued. The places we’ve had to get to, Your deepest fears will always be about you.
You and your expectations you feel you must attain.
You and your image you present to those who judge.
You and your aptitude for keeping those you love happy.

Even now. I’m only saying this because I’m scared I’m far too immature for life I lead,
and I know anyone else in my position would want to hear these words.


Mistakes are as natural as breathing.
With both it is imperative that at some point you must let go. You must exhale and exorcize what is unnecessary from your body. You must learn to forgive yourself.

2. Unsurity is the siamese twin of certainty.
Before you come to a decision you must be comfortable in the knowledge you will never know what the future holds  but if you ever want to move forward, it requires that all important first step... so put your best foot forward.

and 3. Bolster yourself. Be proud in the understanding that your 2 feet hold a place in this world that no else can fill. That everyday you live is your opportunity to bend the universes will. That live may not be a continuous thrill but boy is it scary!
You have a lifetime of wishes to fulfill.
So settle down. Life is a series of small discoveries. No one expects you to find everything.
All we ask is that you don’t ever stop looking.

I've been learning to embrace your child.
When he is screaming and pushing away,
it is hard but I let him know that I love him.
And I know he wont ever show it,
but he's crying inside.
And he'll pull the blankets over him
after locking me out of his room.
And I'll knock of few times,
but I've got to be at work soon.
I know he hates when I go
but he needs the space.
I know he's always tired, hungry
and medicated.
I know he has friends but he's lonely.
There's this little girl sobbing at his window
but he chooses to pretend she isn't real.
She would keep him company
but she knows that you hate her.
Never wanted her enough
to even give up on her.
So even though I'm learning
to embrace the little boy,
I've got to go.
The little girl in me is lonelier
and she will love me back.

Normally I would be the one with football in hand,
Sitting there drinking cheap beer, no time for "tuna,"
That's for gays. I would be looking for "man to man,"
Bro brawls, fights, boxing, As well as midnight runs
To the donut store to rob them blind of jelly rolls.
I would go about as if it were you who was "full of holes."*
But around the corner I can still be seen, eyes fixed
On the piano of my dreams, looking for something soft
I can play...who am I? I'm most certainly "GAY."

You are not what I want,
I wish you'd stop "loving" me.
How am I supposed to know Love?
She eludes me on her angel wings until
  my branches can reach
  what humans ignore above us.
And I can't blame her.
I wish I could hide, too.

You, with your angst and growing needs;
They aren't forefront in my mind
As I am for you
  A swan at her best,
  A cuckoo at her worst,
And if possible, I'd dazzle all
  with my blue-green plumage.

I wish I was ready;
I can't fly just yet.

a girl walked up to me one day
well, a young woman really
she said that she had something to say
and what she cried was sorry

i was shocked, surprised
for what? i queried
i don't remember any past transgressions
so it didn't lessen
my bewilderment when she smiled
and said
for everything

a couple years later she walked up to me again
and said lets share secrets and be friends
and one after another the words just flew
tales of love and *** and horror too

she sat beside me
as i drank in her words and similes
a silent laugh kindled inside me
as adults we are still little kids
as i replied to her reckless bid of
let's share secrets and be friends
this really did happen, and it went surprisingly well. maybe it is easier to make friends as an adult than i thought

You always write poems about hating kids..
Or ****** abuse..

Why can't you get a clue?

I've had enough of you.

You treat everyone like ****.

You say you hate everyone.

It's kind of tiring.

I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Others do too..

You just need to grow up..

Realize that hurting people..

Doesn't and Shouldn't help you through..

So please change..

Because, I've had enough of your ******* too.
Your poem about that inside joke.. uuuggh..

Selfishness is the most indicative sign of immaturity.
Like the way my little sister
couldn't be bothered
to regularly take our dog for walks
because it mattered only how much it inconvenienced her.

When your own feelings hold the up most importance
and everyone else is placed on this planet to play a role in your existence

kids are selfish
some adults are immature

Growing up has little to do with aging
rather, realizing that every living creature holds value;
Leaving the bulk of your ego behind.
