With beady,
lurking eyes
they pass judgement
looking for just one
"fatal flaw" to mock
Regurgitating false statements
giving them absolutely
no hope
for a future
ah, they say they have
but a single care
in the world
to provoke
to harass
those with substance
which they so evidently lack
what a world to live in
It's rather childish,
don't you think?
There are people in the world who pointlessly mock others. If that is all life is worth to someone, to make fun, to hurt, then what a worthless life to live. In all honesty, people like that are hurting themselves more than any other person.

"My future ex-wife,
are you still alive?"*

The thought hit me as I was out of cigarettes one Monday morning, when I remembered that the previous night I was only able to smoke half of my last one. I had put the shorted cigarette underneath of a spring doorstop, still in plastic and uninstalled, that lay resting on the brick pillars erected on the front porch of the house. For as long as I've lived there, that doorstop had been lying on those painted bricks just waiting for a half of a cigarette to protect from the wind and snow.
The filter, on that common Monday morning, was ice on my lips, and your frostbitten love was inside of my lungs.
As it smoldered and spewed twirling blue swirls,
I sat and recollected upon you.

Your words haunt me
Like a ghost in the night
As if mocking me
For believing you
I feel as if I'm going
Insane
But I know
I just developed a cruel case
Of missing you
dreams are like wishes
wishes we want so badly to come true
wishes of love and faith

dreams are like the opposite of reality
the opposite of the truth
they set you up for disappointment
sadly

dreams are the way our minds try to mock us
to make us depressed inside
to make us realize life is a big game we can never beat

that's what dreams are
yes they are magical
but they are just dreams
dreams are wishes your heart makes - Cinderella

They speak of the moment where he whispers
Most of happening fright
In the second where the rein of his sister
Takes you by the dismal night

But through the frequent connections
No one does find the sinister
Even in broad day inspection
The idea is nothing if not frivolous

But for the hopeless victims of the daughter of Nyx
Oh how I do feel pity
Those tortured beyond the ability to be fixed
but to the world, their troubles are so bitty

To find yourself filled with the words in the light of day
Walking with the heavy burden of unseen baggage
To know there is nothing anyone can do or say
Now that is her goal
I usually loathe it when the poets are so mysterious and confusing in their works, but right now I understand why.
Honestly. Just stop.
Mock me one more time, and boy,
I will slap you. Hard.
