#demanding
there are some
the miserable and staid
who will point out
feigning humour
with sedate sarcasm
that for all its beauty
of flowers blooming
bright and buoyant
the inspiring curiosity
of the natural world
re-emerging or returning
to thrive once more
this resplendent equinox
simply means that
the longest day of the year
has now passed
that nights will lengthen
and begin to encroach
more and more upon
our sunlight hours
so that in no time at all
winter will have returned
and another year
slipped by

KAREN, KAREN, KAREN,
So, DESRESPECTFUL, and DARING,
IT'S MY WAY, OR THE HIGHWAY,
KAREN WOULD SAY,
Always wanting to
GET HER OWN WAY!!!
KAREN KAREN KAREN,
ALWAYS SO RUDE,
WON'T GIVE UP, or LET IN,
ALWAYS HAVING A NASTY ATTITUDE!!!!
People are SO TIRED,
SO WORNED, and WEARY,
The answer is "NO!!!" now
MOVE IT ALONG DEARY!!!
She seems so ONERY,
SO PUSHY, and SO CRUEL,
Because of HER AUTHORITY,
SHE THINKS THAT SHE RULES!!
KAREN, KAREN, KAREN,
Always causing a BIG SCENE,
NOT HAPPY with the OUTCOME, and
JUST DOWNRIGHT MEAN!!!
SHE IS SO QUICK TO
WANT TO COMPLAIN,
LOOKING ALL FOOLISH, AND
IT'S A CRYING SHAME!!!!
SO, KAREN, KAREN, KAREN,
Please, do us all a favor,
Take your COMPLAINTS ELSEWHERE, and
PUMP THE BREAKS ON YOUR BEHAVIOR!!!

You burn,
Your flames rise more,
Offering them warmth,
You burn and burn,
Their wooden throats,
And their cold inners,
Now only love it when you're scorching hot.
So you burn and...
you burn,
They are surely pleased.
But the more you burn,
The easier they become cold,
And the quicker you cease,
To smoke.

Because She Craved the Very Best
by Michael R. Burch
Because she craved the very best,
he took her East, he took her West;
he took her where there were no wars
and brought her bright bouquets of stars,
the blush and fragrances of roses,
the hush an evening sky imposes,
moonbeams pale and garlands rare,
and golden combs to match her hair,
a nightingale to sing all night,
white wings, to let her soul take flight ...
She stabbed him with a poisoned sting
and as he lay there dying,
she screamed, "I wanted everything!"
and started crying.

I’m not enough
It’s simple to glance by
And see with eyes of grey
Stop screaming in my frail ears!
Voice so horrid
Draws blood from me
I’ll never be enough

Honesty.
The lie that everyone believes.
Yet it is this lie we basically breath.
How can one be honest, when the world tells us not to be?
How can one lie, when the world tells us to be honest?
There is a double standard in this world.
One that tells us too much honesty is evil, but to little is insidious.
How can we adhere to the demands of the world?
The answer is,
We can’t.
We lie to be honest, but to be honest is to lie.
Honestly, we should all just hope that these double standards die.

'Put my ice cream in the oven.'
'Apply some lipstick.'
'Stop winning and criticising.'
'I understand everything just fine thank you.'
But she laughs at her own jokes, she misunderstands mostly, she is loved by me.

I don't know what to do,
Mother-in-law is coming to stay for a week or two,
I bribed the devil for help,
It painfully began to yelp,
Mothers-in-law are dangerous,
In hell ominous ,
Also there they have their say,
They want their own way,
Even Satan is moulded to soft clay.
If you love your spouse,
Welcome her to your house,
See she comes alongside you,
Not between you.

Crazy Cat Lady? Uh-uh!
I'm the Crazy Cat!
Come to mama, sweetie
let's have a little chat
need to get a few things straight
need to set some bounds
don't you worry 'bout my weight
I could use a few more pounds
so feed me several times a day
cream, cheese and tuna fish
beef pate and chicken stew
in stemmed fancy crystal dish
my bed is not nearly soft enough
it feels just like a Brillo
so I'll just have your bed
but I'll need a fluffier pillow
my collar, it has no pizzazz
it's such a drab old thing
I require one with jewels
my beauty demands some bling
if you agree to all these needs
I just might stick around
if not, well check these teeth and claws...
oh yes, I also want a diamond crown

despair
its happening more and more
i invited it in
not expecting it to stay
but it set its luggage down and laughed
“i never stay less than forever”
i dont have what it takes to accommodate it
ive already run out of supplies
i cant afford anything more
but its still here
it still is demanding more
and more
and more
and i have to take from myself
i dont have much left to give
it doesnt take no for an answer
gods i wish it was just me myself and i
and not me and despair and nothing at all

you are already a slave to this earth because onwards you must go
the world will always move onwards

This is the end of her story
A girl who is barely of the age of seven
Had to face this ****
Tortured marks on her face
And her crushed tongue
Proves an inhuman nature of those ****** people
Let the god gives peace to her soul
And at least an order of shame to that kidnaper, ****** murderer, and what not...
For the harassment of a lovely daughter
In this age..
In this age..
When she doesn't even know what a ****** stands for
She struggled her last days in his bare hands, demanding mercy for her own self
Humanity cried, the day when she got ***** and killed
Where are the local lawmakers?
Who doesn't even know what their own law sense for them.
Where are the Police Force?
Are they still chilling in their apartments
And waiting for an order to execute their plan
Did everyone fall asleep when this little girl got dumped into the garbage pile.
This was the end
Of Zanaib's Story
Which started with Unknown cases and
End with a Candle march glory..

Do not ask me to say I love you
And look sadly up to me with those deep dark eyes
Do not be like some timid furry animal
Unsure of my affections and fearing I shall say go.
Do not ask me to say I love you
Those words rob me of my free choice to say I truly love
And compel me as though I were cornered
And have to argue.
If I say nothing you'll stir and sigh,
Or answer, you'll doubt the reply
For no more than an idle phrase
Rather say come love, then kiss me
I shall follow till from the wave's crest
I'll say the real words.
For like the waves love comes and goes.
So do not ask.

I was never
A demanding man
Or a smothering being.
I was never
A shameful soul
Or a jealous person.
...that is, until us.
I was never
Your ruler
Or the breeze that took
Your breath away.
I was never
Some cruel cur
And I was never
The one to question
Who you were with
Or where you were.
Love brings out the best
In a few of us
And it makes a huge mess
Of the rest of us.
I was never the one
To pick up a gun
And put holes in the heart
I had promised to love.

Depression has me longing for the day that you walk out of my life again because atleast then i'll know why i'm hurting. Life drains me of my soul; you are pumping a desert, demanding water. I love you with everything i have. I hate the way you abuse it.

If there is someone in your life who is too demanding
then it’s really one who your time is most commanding.

I often wonder will things get much more tolerable
Wondering if the future sorrow is enough to swallow
Will I have enough capital for my family to borrow
Wondering if I will be able to say every night,
"I get to wake up next to the man of my dreams tomorrow"
The older I become and the more I begin to live,
The more reality sinks in and showcases an imagery beyond livid
Only 7 when I began to write
That same exact age was when I had to fight over and over for my life
I'm human, yes I say ****** phrases out of spite
But in all actuality I speak what's on my mind to sleep peacefully at night
Words are powerful
Encouraging notions can mend broken hearts
The lack of love and bravery to stand up for what we believe is tearing society apart
I just landed in the home that made me who I am
I felt that I should give you a little bit of my mind so you'll understand WHO I AM
I want you, you reading this to adore me for my kind words
Only because they become powerful once they're heard
I'm human far from perfect
But every word I write and process through my cranium is worth it

she is controlled by her demanding parents.
he is controlled by his persuasive boss.
she is controlled by the heavy pressure of the world.
he is controlled by every one around him.
and when they meet,
the control will stop
and no longer invade their lives.
the controlling souls would die,
just so free souls can be born.
