i know you’re your own poison,
my love.

the things around you
place a bright
spot light
upon your soul
and expect a certain behavior

this makes you hate yourself
makes you feel heavy at every step
makes you snap at the
lightest presentation of stress
and it’s been killing you
for a long time

but to this, you fight back
with every drop of sweat and every tear
even while you bleed
even if you feel like breaking down
you continue

while the one you trusted let you down
while your dreams seemed far fetched
while you didn’t want his touch
but he said
“babe, let’s”
while you watched the disappearance
of your pure crown
you maintained a smile

you didn’t need anyone or
anything, your self sufficient self
raises every single hair
on my body
every part of me
admires you, it just
wishes you knew your wealth

no one understands
but i can see
i can see your unsteady breath
as your anxious habits kick in
at full speed
and i want to be there
to catch you as you fall
and bring you right back up

people convince themselves
that because of your past
that you’re the same person
that you haven’t changed at all
this makes you feel alone

i want you to know that i can
see it all
i can see the tears you hide
see the tales full of white lies
that you tell the world
just to get through the day

but what you don't know is
that i don't just glance, or stare
but become completely submerged
by your essence that i simply
admire and smile
because as you suffer
i’ve waited patiently for you
to glance at me
that way i’d be able to gain grip
of those beautiful glimmering eyes of yours
and say
“hey, it’s okay”

you are strong
you are exquisite
you are top of the line
baby girl
i’d be wrong
to let my words sink into my being
without hearing
what you think about
you being mine

my mind has memorized every
inch of you, duly
know i'm not like the rest, and i'm here to
listen and to stay,
you misunderstood beauty.

you cant pronounce it

its not your fault
you cant understand
my body speaks a language
your tongue cant pronounce

miss-understood

Every person sees from a different angle
Every event leading up to how they perceive how they think and there endless thoughts
What they love and what they do not how they see themselves or just all the flaws
who they are is deeper than a
conversation or what you see,
They're so aware of something that's not there
So their cuts never close they always bleed
And who they are comes to surface someone they never thought they would be
It's funny, right when you let go
The more you want to breathe
So misunderstood an addiction to acceptance can never be relieved
No one understands anyone
It's just how it is
And how it will forever be

Inspired by a friend

Outsider

With her jagged edges she stands,
gazing upon the connection between the well versed,
as her language remains misunderstood,
dark and chaotic.

Her edges are sharp,
and grooves are too deep.
The rhythm of her heart
& blood pulsation
feel out of orbit.

An outsider,
an outcast
trying to jam to fit in puzzles;
blunting her edges,
painting herself with different hues to blend.
Yet within she is out of tune.

Invisible Person

I made mistakes
Then people call me fake

I do things to make them happy
In the end they'll laugh behind my back

They call me many things
But, there's one thing that keeps ringing

I am a nobody
Just an invisible person

"I'm NOT Preaching !!!" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 19/7/2005

Let Me Make This ...

... CLEAR To You ... !!!

I'm NOT PREACHING ...
That's The ... TRUTH ... !!!!

You ...
DON'T Have To Read ...
If You ... Don't Want To ... !!!

Trust Me On This ... !!!
If You Don't ... That's Cool ...

I'm Just ...
Passing On ... My Views ...
Just Like ... " Politicians Do " ...

Those You VOTE FOR ... !!!
Who ... ***** YOU ... ?!?

Can't I Say ...
What's ON My Mind ... ???

I Guess NOT ...
In ... " Modern Times " ... ?!?

These Are Times ...
Like ... " Days of Old " ...

When Blacks Were ... "Slaves" ...

" DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD ! "

Things In TRUTH ...
Are STILL ... The Same ...

When Things Go WRONG ...
" WE'RE THE ONES  " ...
Who ... Take The BLAME ... !!!

Am I ... " Preaching " ...
Yet AGAIN ... !?!

Sorry Folks ...
You Should COMPLAIN ... !!!

While MORE Blacks ...
Just Go ... "INSANE" ... !!!
cos' of ... PRESSURES ...
ON OUR ... Brain ...

I Don't Live ...
Like ... Most of You ...

That's Why I Write ...
The Way I Do ...

So ...
When You ... READ ...
DON'T Say ... I PREACH ... !!!

It's ... My Time ...
To Write In ... Rhyme ...

This Goes Back ...
To My ... Earlier Line ...

DON'T Say I PREACH ...
and We'll Be Fine ... !!!

One Thing I've Learnt ...
About ... Mankind ...
Is ... Blacks CAN'T SAY ...
What's ON ... " Their Mind " ...

cos' White Folks KNOW ...
The ... " Grand Design " ...

This ... MUST MEAN ...
That I CAN'T Teach ... !!!
But REALLY ...

Can You Say I PREACH ... ?!?

Do I ... " Have " ...
A ... " Leather Seat " ... ?
In The ... " House of Lords " ...
Where ... White Men PREACH ... !!!

NO ... I DON'T ... !!!
cos' I CAN'T .................................................................................. Reach ......

A Place Like ... THAT ...
With Things I Speak ....

Maybe I ... CAN ...
Let's Wait and See ...

But MOST White Folk ...
Will NOT Believe ...

The Things I Say ...
That ... I HAVE Seen ... !!!

"IT'S JUST NOT TRUE !
HE'S GOT SCREWS LOOSE !"

It's NO SURPRISE ... !!!
When You ABUSE ...
and ... Listen When ...

The Words ... " SUIT YOU " ...

But HERE'S The Thing ...
Black People TOO ...

DISMISS ........................................................................ The Truth ................

When Black Mens' Words ...
Affect ... " Their Coup " ...

"WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS !
SAYING THINGS ABOUT OUR KIDS !"

Don't Our Kids ...
Need Teaching TOO ... !?!

"Of course they do,
but in White Schools !"

See ...
Here's The Thing ...

Black Folk ... BELIEVE ...
In ... " White Mans' Ways " ...

But DON'T BELIEVE ...
What ... STRONG Blacks Say ... ?!?

We'd Rather Hear ...

A ... " 50 Cent " ...
Than Listen To ...
Chuck or KRS' ... !?!

MOST Young Rappers ...
Just Talk ... MESS ... !!!

But it's OKAY ...
For Them To ... PREACH ...

While Our Children ...
DIE On ... Streets ... !?!?!
cos' of ... " WORDS " ...
They Hear Them Speak ...

OKAY OKAY ...
It's ... NOT Just Rap  ... !!!

But Rap CAN Set ...
Kids Up For ... " SLAPS " ... !!!

Check The Stats' ...
I'm Talking FACTS ... !!!

But Let's ...... Backtrack ...
cos' Talking ... FACTS ...
Must Mean I PREACH ... ?!?

Can't We Put ...
That Line To .... "Sleep" ... !?!

NOT Just Yet ...
I Haven't Reached .......
The End of THIS HERE Poetry ... !!!!!

Let Me Make ...
This Piece Complete ....

Sometimes .....
I'm Just ... Venting STRESS ...

Other Times ....
I'm Just ... UPSET ... !!!!!

Words I Write ...
AREN'T ALL ... For You ... !!!

I KNOW That ...
I'm NOT A Fool ... !!!

But When I Speak ...
I'm Being ... TRUE ...

I Don't Speak ....
To ... "belittle you" ...

When You Speak ...
I'm Learning TOO ... !!!!!

NOT From ... ALL ...
But ... Some of You ...

Things I Write ...
I Hold ... "DEARLY" ...

I'm NOT ... " Creepy " ...
DON'T .... FEAR ME .... !!!!!

Words I Write ...
Can Have ... " DEEP Meaning ..... "

Some Have Said ...
They've ... " Taught " ...
That's ... " Teaching " ...

Some Have CLEARLY ...
Left Folks .... REELING .... !!!!!!!

But Let's Be ... CLEAR ...

" I'm Not Preaching !!! "

In response to the suggestion that, what I was doing was preaching, I had to explain my position,

I'd rather see what I do, as merely sharing views of things that i've seen, as well as been through, as the poem states.

Also, this is an interesting piece, from the perspective of President Trumps', recent attack on the 4 congresswomen, for merely expressing their views about US Governance !

Misunderstood

Am I the creep everyone says
Or just misunderstood instead
Just what the hell is wrong with me
And why won't anyone date me
When I try always rejected
I'm so alone and dejected
It's been so long since I've been held
Instead I only get expelled
I'm tossed out like unwanted trash
Or just avoided like some rash
Just what exactly did I do
I'd love to know, I have no clue
I only know that I'm alone
In my emotional war zone
Am I the creep everyone says
Or just misunderstood instead?

Feeling lost rejected and dejexted

The known unknown

She smiles so softly,
it's like a ghost.
You can't really see it,
but still you feel like it's there.

And her eyes emit emotion,
but like that of steamer.
The more it lets out,
the more unclear everything becomes.

Her walk is always silent,
in a fashion similar to a cat.
Because there's a constant indecisiveness,
between confidence and concealment.

Her heart is unique however,
it holds no resemblance to anything else.
But sometimes it'll be compared to a distant whisper,
because although you're aware of its existence, you don't know what it is that that it holds.

Just a poem about someone who was known but never understood

Misunderstood Girl

I am a misunderstood girl
Not a lunatic
On the brink of snapping
Not a walking target
With a bull's-eye taped to her back

My feelings are greatly guarded
By barbed wired fences
Taller than the Eiffel Tower
By stone walls
Stronger than diamonds

I wear a merry mask
As deceiving as The Riddler
With yellow and orange feathers
And a smile of emeralds

In school I was always the shy, quiet girl and was often seen as a target for it. This poem goes out to all my fellow wallflowers.
