#impress
Effortless words, spoken with no efforts,
A miracle, it seems to me.
A fractured mind, adrift at sea,
Your presence drives me to insanity.
Hanging by a thread, very thin,
Chaos reigns within.
Should I bother, should I care?
Let the wind take you elsewhere.
A snarky voice, it whispers low,
In the darkness, where I go.
No need to impress, for all is lost,
My interest fades, like morning frost.
You linger near, a mystery,
A running commentary in my head.
Your words replay, like a haunting melody,
From different voices, I am misled.
Nothing feels right, nothing seems true,
You've driven me out of my mind with a beautiful view.

To ignite- - like love-fire
Words crossover express
Rollover under the cover
New- Lover
Eyes- express Lighthouse tower
Caress good news to digest
Nevertheless*
Unless*
Express to dress
Don't impress
Lost time to address
Mindful - Express- train
Possess-God-Bless-Invest
Open* expression* request*
Bucket list Jekyll and Hyde
Secrets dark you decide
* * * * *
Yoga stretch two lovers coffee
Picture selfie - express what's mine
All we need more time
Success * to express

do you even recognize me,
wearing jeans instead of a dress
because originally I didn't want to impress
or is she all you see?

life, for her, was a masquerade ball.
her purse was full of colorful masks.
each mask was carefully crafted,
designed to impress everyone else.
she was always watchful
with one hand in her purse
so she could switch masks.
he walked into the ballroom,
slowly approaching her.
she took off her mask,
fumbling in her purse
for a different one.
he caressed her arm
and shook his head.
the breeze tickled her face
for the first time during the ball.
he quietly gazed into her eyes,
smiled to calm her racing heart,
then pressed his lips to her cheek.
they danced for the rest of the ball,
and her masks were never seen again.

Why the hardest person to love
is the one looking back at me
through the mirror,
I know what I hide,
I don't impress me,
I can't confound me,
But if not me, who will?

You make me the best me, bring out my joy.
I don't need to try to impress you, I am who I should be.
Was that really the last time I would see you for a year?
**** well I guess I should have hugged you harder.
See you soon...
hopefully, nothing will change.

if my brilliant mind
is not enough for you,
than you are simply
not worth impressing.

Would you like it if I cried?
Would that make it more real to you?
Would you like it if I died?
Would that make my feelings true?
Would you make me go and hide?
Would that finally impress you?
Would you eat up all my pride?
Would that satisfy you?
That's how you'd like it.
That's how you'd like it, isn't it?
That's how I'd like it.

Where will I end up? Somewhere
Will I be lost when I get there? Lost
Where am I suppose to be? There
Will it take all that I've got? Cost
Will I know when I am there? Yes
But should I continue? Go
What will i do? Impress
Do I ever settle for less? No
Who will be there? You
And with me? New
Adventures for all the new? True
A new life that will lead to what? Pursue
Pursue things that lead me where? Home
But what should I continue to do? Roam

"I will not throw away my shot."
Do not throw away your shot.
We have one shot to make a difference.
We have one shot to show them who we are.
To make them see we aren't who they think we are.
To let them hear us.
We have one shot... Make it count.
We must leave behind a legacy.
"What is a legacy? A legacy is planting a garden that you'll never get to see."
Let the younger ones see us fighting for what we believe in-
let them see us dressing for ourselves and not to impress others constantly
let them see us being who we are
let them see us using our words for good and not for evil
let them see us changing the world
one
word
at
a
time

Get up and dress my myself.
I don't impress myself.
Need to express myself.
Not to detest myself.
Start to respect myself.
Outwardly reflect myself.
I won't reject myself.
Go out and test myself.
No time to rest myself.
I'll be the best, myself.

I have nothing more to give you now
but don't let this be a hindrance vow
We both seem to be at our wits end
and with our limitations to contend.
While some others may give at will
I won't follow them in their thrill
putting quantity over quality here
and try to impress just to be near.
It may seem as if I'm making excuses
but the fact is that this only confuses
when all our expectations go too far
and our feelings those situations mar.
Please be patient and you will then see
how it'll all work out and so better be.
My faith in this matter does here now rest
in the Glory and Power which knows best.

I used to make poetry
That would appeal to many.
I was wrong.
Because now I write
As long as I would feel right.

We say we ok when we not because that's the acceptable thing to say
We say goodbye when we want to beg you to stay or want to talk some more but have nothing to say
Gone are the days of honesty frankness and truth
These are the days of walls and heavily guarding our pride and ego...heart?
We feel and feel
But only recite lines,lines off this script of proper etiquette
After all we wouldn't want to unsettle the audience
So say your fine
Force a smile
And while you're at post a nice post on insta just to #showthem
We feel and feel
But there is no expression
Only making an impression
For to impress
You must supress

I have nothing to impress you
nor the strength to follow
your surefooted step.
But the will to be yours
with love forever.

I live for me
Not for him, not for her, not for them.
But for me.
You think I wear this dress to amuse you
**** right I do -
out of lack of self respect and self dignity
You think I say those things to impress you
**** right I do -
out of the love that is buried deep within my broken heart
You think I buy those gifts to please you
**** right I do -
out of the fear that I feel when I think of losing you to someone else
So I lied.
I told myself I lived for me,
the truth is that,
I live for you.

Acting to please others
Yet why even try?
Most end up bothers
Rest quickly say goodbye
It's always a lot of stress
To try and always impress
There are too many people
To care about every person
But in my back like a needle
Is a need for acception
I end up becoming a mess
Trying to always impress
I can feel their eyes
Judging my every move
As if they're more wise
Myself I have to prove
I am their slave, I confess
Always trying to impress
Except this is all in my head
I need to stop creating strife
So I matter when I'm dead
To those who care about my life
But to truly end this distress
I must be the first one I impress

You are in my arms without any dress
Your hidden treasures are ready to impress
I love you,, I love you I must confess
You are so beautiful you are like bless
For your beauty all world I can dismiss
From head to foot I want to kiss and kiss
Please forget my miss about that and this
I am your prince you are my princess
Your beauty is now at the mercy of love
So all embrace will be done today and now
Do not ask me about where and how
I am your land and you are sky above
I am in praise and I am bound to bow
My sweetheart my little innocent dove

What shall I write about?
So of what shall be my account?
This or that? Shall I take you on a magical
Journey through time and space?
Shall I take you to Mars and we can
Explore the rocky red place?
Is there some kind of time machine that
We can get in and find out what will
Happen in the future that might take place?
Maybe I will write to you of my real life, how I feel,
This would be an empty poem, so I shall impress
My audience with a pretend show. I'm really not
Going to be rich or famous unless I put on that
Endlessly addictive yet unreal neon glow...
Thanks society! Thanks prudes! Thanks extremists! Thanks money!

We cannot
Talk
Because we seldom share
Language,
The token tongue,
But still,
We conquer –
Communicate.
We transmit
Smiles and fingers
Pointing towards
Needs,
Wants
And what’s, “next,”
Egg cakes, soy and tea
For the son she’d never
Expected –
He who’d lose a tooth,
He who’d hold her daughter,
He who'd love
Eternity.

We are told looks are important.
It is implanted in our mind from day one. No one can tell the pain you're in if you look nice.
They can't kiss the mental scars withheld in your mind.
Dress to impressed it will help everyone stay blinded to that fact you are depressed.
