#neutrality
Endless dwelling Mindless fretting Never ending Never mending Suddenly it ceases The mind eases Nothing but breezes Light quiet wheezes No more weighing agony No more cruel disharmony Only mental neutrality Sweet releasing apathy

Releasing apathy
I struggle so deeply to feel at home in my body, all I feel when I look at my chest is all of the men that used me like a doll of my mom shaming me in my head for my big ******* and how "provocative " I am for just existing, for society sexualizing me, for all the women that hated me for my body/looks,and objectified me and all the men that "loved"  me /used me just for my body and sexualized me with their eyes. It hurts  so deeply to feel so violated  all the time it echoes in my mind,body and soul all the repeated violations words, looks and all the aching laughter, the way everyone  in my family sexualized me since I was a child, so intern I internalized all the hatred to my body and my chest. I just wander if these people  truly understand how much their actions truly affect others, how deeply I suffer with complex post trauma all the time and dysphoria sometimes, from the deep pain of ****** violence when I truly look at it all, its not even wanting to be a man so much so , as wanting to be seen as a person. who is worthy of being heard, not because I am pretty ***** or curvy or hot or **** but because I am smart I am strong I am  impressive  and resiliant have a beautiful mind and I am not just how I look or how I present. My whole life I was influenced and taught to believe that my only value as a women was my looks, or to be chosen by a  man or by my society, and to exist as a baby making machine, while not complaining or being "too much ". That I shouldn't show my body too much , & that I should always look good 24/7,like I am a doll of some kind, instead of a human being. How my body was the reason for men sinning and how I would go to hell for my thoughts or behaviors if I wasn't perfect. Now I am realizing none of that truly matters, and I don't wanna live the rest of my life chasing validation, or feeling like I need others approval to feel whole inside, I wanna accept who I am love who I am and like myself for who I am, and not just for my looks or for my body or sexuality, but for who I am down to my core the good and the seemingly bad imperfections to feel safe in myself and that is beautiful to just be me without needing to put on a show for anyone.

Most of the political world needs to reevaluate on how indifferent neutrality and tactful compromise does not amount to equal measures in a thriving democracy.

quiet night
you've always told me that your personality lies on whatever's in between or who ever is in the outside of a conflict watching weighing wondering you told me that you'd want to be that guy whom everybody can talk to whom everybody can relate to whom everybody can look up to who's always watching weighing wondering a wallflower a grandfather's clock a lost artifact sitting in a room flooded with opinions storming, crashing through the shores of your acceptance, and perhaps your side but you never did like a sterile tree I waited for you to bloom to grow fruits you never did and you never will cause you're just playing god watching weighing wondering but never helps.

Playing God
// Sometimes, there is an inner darkness that speaks too close to our hearts. Tempting us. Making us yield. I know it is bad to bow down to these baser motives. These seductions that occur in the darkness of our beings. But, this all depends on us. To decide whether or not to fall victim to its height of bliss, or to eventually fall to our knees once these illusions are over. It is my decision whether or not to fulfill this growing void. My only question is, who would always be foolish to believe that darkness is a monstrous path, rather than a human delusion? //

Monstrous Human
It is not always easy to express one's self When his artistic creations are never placed in galleries They are often forgotten of Sitting there gathering dust on a storage shelf. It seems as if ten more people are at the same task As which you create with Comparing their outcomes to your own Your light of hope fails to light Due to many missing you that must express such visions A dog starved to the bone. Eyes meet the other exhibits As your kiosk is primarily never sought for business The confidence of challenge is there, however, it soon melts away When all of the hard work which you have placed in expressions for the world to see Fade to darkness like the "dark side of the moon" As night simply ends the days. Questions remain about what you are truly "gifted" at or "ahead" of other game pieces on the board game of life. When so many are inventive such as you One too many is a crowd. You pull down a fake smile. A fake shrowd. Now the net is neutral Damaging my once vibrant flow As my hands are now tied to how I can grow The rules of the game are now many and harder to get around Like a roadblock in your sight of your future The air begins to become too thin and your mind weighs heavy As the cut in your creative inventiveness Bleeds too heavy and needs a "miraculous" suture. Needing others on my team Every time  I seek out such I'm the "driver x" at the "speed races" and the "forced gun" to bear uninspiring and lonely expressive paces. Is their justice to the laws limiting one's freedom of expression just to protect those in the "top few?" When the own half of the platform on which you try and "compete" However, you are too small to be seen as "you."

One last step Through the forest before the trees are cut down. One last flight into space Before the the satellites keep us in. One last read Before the library cuts the sentence by toll. One last champion Before his logos show. One last man. Before he places the devil around his neck. One last word. Before they charge me for every other after. Freedom doesn't have "a last". Freedom is lasting.

Net Neutrality
Humor comes in a million different shades. As mine reaches various greys and yellows, I admit, more often an inkling than a joke, I say, "I could die happy, right now." This life assures me nothing good nor bad. Blah. Maybe the next? If any. I won't take anything away from myself because that would mean, I have an enemy. And you don't run from your enemies, You face them. So it's safe to say, I am here until I am not. «c.h.b.»

"Come here." "WHERE?" "To terms."
The glowing eyes of the monstrous beast gleam with hunger for more information more money, more censorship more more more If you want freedom of expression there's a fine to pay Didn't you know? Knowledge comes at a price take take take It sees what you see It knows what you know and more while hiding you within the shadows of ignorance more more MORE You have no unalienable rights that it won't take Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? What a joke. take take TAKE A future full of more take than give Is that what you want? Or are you willing to fight for freedom? FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

The Death of Net Neutrality
I do not love nor I do hate, I don’t put anything at stake, I don’t attempt to make mistakes, When it come to fight face to face, Its these old lines which make win work, May be a gift – may be a curse, To one – it may be held assert, To others – they mioght as well kiss the dirt, It may be black, it may be white, It may be wrong it may be right, One may see all or lose their sight, It doesn’t matter in the fight, Cause fights all show we’re all the same, We’d strike them hard or lose the fame, No matter what – we feel the pain, To stay the same is pain to train…

Neutral State
I want to knock out all your teeth with airborne nuggets of wisdom. I want your empty gums to bleed with pain and hatred and progress. I want you to cut your hair off, collect the locks, and throw them at the trees in the afternoon, for sanity's sake, and I want the clouds sunk into your head to spell out like an airshow, "I am Real, Valid, and going to die." Sometimes sitting straight up in bed has its purpose, pulling the blanket to the floor and humming all those songs without words, it's like therapy, like rest, like wood. The Lord will find his face formed in your gnarls, and he will cry. He will say he loved you since the beginning, since you pierced your nose, and that it doesn't matter that you look down more often than ahead, and that your sighs grow flowers at your feet.

There's nothing here                                                                                                       or there that makes me think to myself. There's no thought here                                                                                                       or there that makes me question reality. There's no reality here                                                                                                       or there that makes me look forward to the future. There's no future here                                                                                                       or there that makes my past seem worth the effort. There's no effort here                                                                                                       or there that makes me believe either side has anything going for it. There's no belief here                                                                                                       or there that makes it all understandable, righteous, reasonable. There's no reason here                                                                                                       or there that makes any of this make sense. There's no wrong, there's no right, there's no up, there's no down. All there is is me. In the middle, unaffected.

“My sole goal in life is to keep racing down the interstate without a clock so I can keep going until people forget who I am.” In my head I knew I was wrong hypocritical, insane, illogical, but above all I was still humane! This, yes, this sole fact is what keeps me separated from you draw a straight line down the road we lived on the squares and the circles. You, with your fancy plaque and NHS bumper sticker With the family of four and no reason to feel failure With your perfect scores and magnificent vernacular Who let you have it so easy?! Me, with my Jimi Hendrix poster family of who knows how many and the chance to earn my GED in a few years Why was it me?! You met your wife in the 10th grade You gave her a promise ring and everything Even took her with you on spring break Who said you didn't have to try?! I was placed in the wards that year they said it was insanity I thought I was just thinking ahead Why can’t they understand?! BUT THEY ALWAYS UNDERSTAND YOU! You, your Shakespeare perfect jargon Mr. Right, Perfect, next coming of Beethoven You were made to please everyone and become important! And that’s what separates us. Even though it’s the same street that raised us I bought the Harley and your parents got you the Chevy. And I recall the one time I was flying down the interstate And caught up to you as you were going nothing higher than 70. I stared at you and you kept your eyes on the road. I don’t blame you, I knew that you just wanted to see my bomber jacket I have a skull on fire on the back of it So I gave you a great view hope you enjoyed it.
