As I'm looking at this new format,
in my utter bewilderment,
I think it must be a bad joke
I mean who really designed
this thing or is it completely broke?

Did you not stop to consult
any people who might be
using it -
like laypersons
( ehem... poets )
for example?

Myself the ex-tech analyst
I would have gladly helped,
as this is exactly what I tried
to prevent at my old job.

Anyway I am not sure
I'm going to be writing on this site
any longer
-unless they do something
about this harrible harrible format!!
and yeah I know I sound like Trump
but it just doesn't work correctly
with my computer
and I also lost a lot of poetry becuz of it.
Seriously there's one part of my format that says ** Po? ;/
Babe ;
I don't call her that cuz she's not mine..

I'm sorry* you loved the wrong person growing up.
I'm sorry you didn't realize what love was when it was too late.
I'm sorry that your younger self ****** things up for you now.
I'm sorry you couldn't get out of your own way.
I'm sorry for all the wrongs you did in the past and how hard you must be on yourself to correct them.
I'm sorry for all the tears.
I'm sorry for the sleepless nights.
And most of all...
I'm sorry for your insecurities

Fire in the sky-
Lights up the dark moon
Take this hand-
and be sure to
let go
Push to the edge
of disaster
Grip to a final
and feeble
string of hope.

It's housework time again,
Should I hit the gin?
Time to vac.,
More dust in the sack,
Whoops, missed a bit,
This vac gives me the blip,
Now it's time for teacups,
Job done, ****** it up!
Feedback welcome.

Yes, gravity lets you down,
You gaze at your ***** with a frown,
Belly is in overload,
Why does God make us grow old?
I state this with a frown,
Gravity lets you down,
But, do older men improve with age?
*** bellies, bald patches, on their stage,
I state this with a frown,
Yes, gravity lets you down!
Feedback welcome.

it is easier to swallow the idea that you don't care
than that you don't understand
(or that you can't or won't).

but when you don't understand.
you, who birthed me.
you, who raised me.
you, who i've trusted almost blindly with my feelings.
you, who supposedly loves me unconditionally.
you, who supposedly always has my best interest at heart.

when you don't understand,
                   can't understand,
                   won't understand,
who else will?
on the eternal struggle to express myself (and especially my own personal struggles) to my parents that is consistently met with a heavy sigh and a "are you sure you don't just want something to be up-in-arms about?"

My communication skills ****,
How will I ever be able to earn a buck?
I could even lose to a duck.
What is wrong with me, ****.

Electrons, making me feel like a *****.
Where the heck did ADP come from?
I don't even want to wonder why there suddenly is a phosphate group.
How come G3P wasn't a nickname when I was a sophomore?
Glycolysis was not a crisis,
And I understood Miss Minnie's drawings.
Now I have a book with 3D figures,
But cellular respiration was not who it was four years ago,
And I swear I've encountered all of them before,
But where did they all go?
I know their names but not who they are.
Honestly, I'd rather think fermentation occurs in a bar.
