#harmed
There is a place on the edge of town,
It's small, it's dark, it will bring you down.
People go there when the clock strikes twelve,
Never again will you see them alive.
It is an old hospital,
For the asylum seekers,
Abandoned and neglected
Just like the reapers,
People will tell you of the screams that can be heard,
From all of the patients that died here.
You will want to run,
But the walls will close,
Keeping you there,
In the asylums doors,
But don't be scared, and don't be alarmed,
You've joined the group,
Of mentally harmed.

When people are talking
conflicts are erupting
even when everyone appear calm
some feelings are harmed
Using the most cutting weapon
we do not know how to control
The tongue has the most victims
no one considers at all
careless whispers
and the screaming match
hurting all those who matter
deeper than mere scratches
Resentment stays
as the words replays
and the distance grows
even if it does not show.

Poets are quite useful and should not be harmed
per the Per-con-fessor (silent H)y’all, M.A., BS (not a degreee)
like the opossum,
a frightfully excellent scavenger
of nature’s successful (s)excesses,
should not vacuumed up, intoxicated, sprayed or
splayed with harsh chemicales, less their output
‘die on the vine’ (or summertime hammock)
let them create,
let them pro~create,(oh yeah)
let them be et,
juicy and delicioso
speaking from very personal know-(less)dge
while the species is no current danger
of being eradicat[et],
there are editors, propagandists, censors and sneering
sensors, A-holes, B-holes and M-holes,
even T-holes & Z-holes,
ready willing enable
to remove all poems
from the general lexicon
of human possessions
(and poets into giant pre-fabulous custom built warehouses)
i therefore encourage
you to start this date,
by kissing your fav po-et,
and thus strongly encourage,
hims and hers, to out-put put-out
suggest
you start with me,
as a test pest case
and not Thomas Case,
who gets plenty affection

The American Library Association
implores cognoscenti tubby alert
impersonators, who
call themselves Ernie and Bert
took a page from Sesame Street Playbook
oft times accompanied
by a Soundcloud of dirt,
boot none other then Pigpen,
(who worked for Peanuts),
and pay-dirt, though
dismissed, cuz he did not exert
true grit, plus more seriously scandalous
sordid details suppressed kept from press,
(which scurrilous breach of conduct
involved said scallywag
violating more than flirt
discovered in prurient compromised activity,
where his skin flute encircled,
with an ambrosia girt
transgressions possibly affected
public television station benefactors,
and sterling reputation of bottom line, nor hurt
locker talk (albeit via exaggerated mainly
to make a profit sounding proper
sanctimonious Cliff (hanging) notes,
asper faux expected by
a "FAKE" trumping prophet,
sans motley crue comic
stripped of more'n
motion picture PG ratings,
hence future lurid, graphic,
banal, ampersand
(&) dressing room banter
muted, disallowed, and banned
so storied characters birthed by Charles Shulz,
(who passed away prior to near canned
aforementioned indiscretion debacle)
returning amidst fanfare hoopla
much as possible grand
jour "Making Peanuts Great Again" hand
diddly restoring full metal paperback jacketed
glory and apple pie order land
ding rebirth of cherished popular iconic
easy to digest bookworm feed
which unexpectedly, inadvertently,
and horrifyingly
brewed ferocious breed
on par with the Alaskan Bull Worm,
whereat armed guards
strategically stationed
at libraries entrances indeed
aware voracious young readers,
would pay no heed
to any obstacle, and such unstoppable
ravishing knowledge
hungry kids did exceed
capacity security details dashed away,
faster then Clifford
the big red dog speed!

Sky! Lift me gently up
as an infant bruised by life's measure
& forgive my Spirit for it aches
by the fire
by the brimstone
of Life hard experienced
of Life unforgiven to the end
Sky! Your graceful colors are brilliant
be regal by air rarer than Cherub-breath
be held by no earthly governance
breathe! breathe! life is the glorious
battle! battle! life is the gift for
all victors!

How it feels
To be judged
As someone else
Because of someone else
How it feels
To fear a doctor
But need a doctor
How it feels
To not be seen
Or be seen a fraud
How it feels
To live in fear
Of those in power
How it feels
To take medication
To be able to function
How it feels
To feel like a criminal,
Abuser, addict...criminal
How it feels
To ask for medicine
Always treated with suspicion
How it feels
To have no choice
If to have a life
How it feels
To fight through life
One battle after the next
How it feels
Not to trust
From childhood, a must
How it feels
Under suspicion
For taking medication
How it feels
To be on diazepam
Because, it was given
How it feels
To be unstable
Thrown into prison,
To have the worst label
How it feels
To give your all
Only for others to let you fall
How it feels
To be failed
From the start
By Doctor Hart
How it feels
To try to trust,
In authorities,
To help me
How it feels
How hard that is,
And why it's rare
That I trusted your care
How it feels
To have to explain
My pain
Over and over again
How it feels
One moment respected,
The next considered addicted
How it feels
To be forced
With zero words
To spiral, downwards
How it feels
How long it took
For me to trust you
To believe in you
How it feels
To be able to trust,
Because clearly you don't,
Yet, for your job it's a must...
How it feels,
The deep pain,
You've inflicted in me,
Again and again
How it feels,
The edge I reach
Your careless actions
Making me weak
How it feels
How much we care,
About conversation,
Or trust is not there
How it feels,
How deep you hurt me,
May be small to you,
But you repeated my history
And that is why
I have no trust left
I was so close to the edge,
Sometimes,.....its safer to be dead.
I must protect myself.....respect is earned.
