#nineteen
Cheddar cheese on the map – It’s a chassit You have shown cheesy cap – I have read it Have you warned it’s a trap – Or you made it? Marygoldish motel – You have planned it Mini-Min, leading mice Takes to maze Micy-Mice follows up So amazed Chinny chin as appeared – Jaw in stress Sharpen teeth, strengthen tech Hit by mace How old were you then While singing “Nineteen”? Poison ivy or Carrie Or someone between All these questions are better Left with no answer Neither soil needs no nails Nor graveyard – no dancers Oh, the girl Mississippi born ranger Take your time Reconsidering strangers Take your time Contemplating the worlds Hence, accountable For believes, deeds and words

I am soft. Soft like a peach. Peachy like a peach. Curvy, pinkish, yummy like a peach. Soft like little kisses. I love little kisses. Strong. I am strong like a girl. Fight me, I bite, not just peaches. I am strong of tongue and heart and arms and legs. Strong like carved muscle. I love my muscle.

Nineteen and Beautiful
When I was nine I went to school Enjoyed hurdle race Laughed often Yet to have goals Love my family. When I was nineteen I stuggled in studies Friendship dilemmas Laughed lesser Set to work on aims Began to love life. When I am twenty-nine I have embraced life And my own shortcomings Smile more Let life flow as it is Love humanity.

Twenty-Nine.
wants to be my friend, for I am poet-woman nineteen. she is sweet but sad. super sad. a good poet who wants to guide me. but there/theirs is the odor, not faint, of wants wanting, the pus of corruption behind the curtains, the Wizard-ess of Oz's special blackout curtains. seen how easy, how her illusions, my medium rare rejections, morph into her delusions, and her delusions devolve into her conspiracy theories. "SHE will be my mentor, poetess lover, teacher for no charge!" my parents thinks it's great, she wants (to be) skin in my game. my parents will find this poem accidentally, exactly, how I do not want to be skinned alive. for I am poet-woman nineteen and still! now, long past the point of being fooled, the point of no return. and see no point, have no intention, of returning to either valley ***no more con the my mind into letting my body be-fused.^***   that ain't me babe.

Trumpets blaring clouds parting all staring in a roar He's come! He's come! He's come again we've too long ached for more! Indeed my children I've woke again with three years under my belt I've been up and I've been down I've been numb and even felt No longer a boy of sixteen years as my journey here had begun But you don't care, I have like- what?- three followers? anyways, I'm nineteen now. and don't bother, I'll make applause noises for myself with my mouth.

to no one
To be nineteen again; Blissfully ignorant, Wrapped up in conversation that eventually lead me to be tightly secured in your arms. Laid out together underneath the warm August moonlight. We crept outback wrapped in a blanket and you made love to me as the sun came up on a rickety old lawn chair I was so afraid of being caught, But we were together and you kept me safe; Until one day you were the one my heart needed protecting against. Years pass, like time through the hourglass. I forgive you.

on your very first birthday, you will hear many things you will not be able to decipher them yet but they will echo in your ear until you go to sleep, you will hear about how big you've grown and how beautiful you are or how beautiful you're going to be and the highlight of your day will be when finally you get to cut into that delicious chocolate cake that your aunt made you and you will run around the yard and laugh as you trip endlessly and the big kids won't play with you but that's okay because you're one and you don't really understand that strange feeling in your heart when they say that you're too little to join in on their game of tag and everything is so confusing because your grandmother said that you were a big girl now but somehow you are not big enough and you won't be for awhile but you don't really care because in that moment you are one and everything is an adventure for you; from the wet grass in the backyard to the weird kisses your older brother and the girl across the street exchange but that just makes everything ten times more interesting and you are still protesting even though it is futile that you don't want to go to bed and even though you are still forced to go to bed earlier than you want, you are happy because today you turned one years old and you are big enough to cut the cake with some help from your mom but still too small to play tag with the big kids and the concept is confusing but exhilarating and you cannot wait for the next day and as your breathing becomes more even you succumb to the dark and fall asleep and everything is okay because you are one and you do not know yet that when you are five your mother will stop making time for you or that when you are ten everyone will stop caring about your existence and that when you are thirteen the boy in your school that you really really like will tell you that you are ugly and everyone else will follow and when you get to be seventeen you will be so desperate to leave this misery called life that you will try and force yourself to go into a different type of sleep, the more permanent kind and your father will say you're being an attention ***** and your mother will start to wonder where she went wrong and your older brother won't care because he won't find out that you are depressed or sad until the day of your funeral, when you are nineteen and finally asleep, although this time; you don't try to fight it instead you go willingly and succumb to the darkness much like you did when you were younger and unaware that life is not a great adventure, it is more like a never ending hell that will make you wish that you were one (h.l.)

*I'm nineteen.  I don't know where to go.  What path to take? I'm strong yet scared of people. I'm fearless but I'm afraid to talk. I have my strong thoughts. I have my will. But I am afraid.  I don't know where to go. He's 23; got his 30M and his own factory. He's 22; got his own factory inaugurated by the president. They're in their 20's.  Their bringing in a big chain of a foreign franchise to our country.   They're young.  They are meeting with the big bosses of hotels. Back to me. Here I am.  I'm nineteen.  Where do I go now?*

19 and Kinda Lost
Dying is not the real pain. The real pain is living inconsequentially futilely, while others forbid you to die, but forbid you feel earnestly; seeing a whole unblemished person, but little do they know I am already dead. # It's not my pain that disgusts them, it's the cutting and that's why they treat the symptoms but neglect the cause and forbid me to talk about her because the sound of her name makes you regret me. # I AM MATURE: I am new and improved and dead.

19: The Real Pain, Symptoms, Improved
I don’t see people anymore, only shadows. I see their past and future trailing behind and ahead the constant lagging and catching up of them. I am the patch-work mish-mosh made-up creature-being with Past / Future / Present silly-goose whatnots. I am the girl you laugh with at Starbucks because you’re too ****** bored to live for coffee. I get it. Let your smiling teeth do the talking. I am the one-liner two-timing bimbo-less wretch of a lady you call friend. I am the cigarette loser who watches your dogs. I will burn your children alive. I am the tree-hugging nonchalant ******** handing out flyers. I will plant a seedling then rip it to shreds. I will wear its bark for armor. Your precious ******* oak puts out cigarette butts now. And from its death we grow cancer cells for fun. Hell, we’re past time for past-times. It’s all coffee and cigarettes now. Coffee and cigarettes and honking horns. Coffee and cigarettes and honking horns and shadows. No more people.

Undeniable draw with a taste for the taboo, my world is sparkling all over, all over. And he is all over me, warm weight and bad jokes and I just can't stop laughing. The world is my oyster but sometimes I clam up, so afraid of how strong all my emotions are. But I'm not scared long, or I'm scared and I'm smiling, because it feels so good to look into his eyes. I'll wade in the waters in a big pink pool tube laughing at the riptide as I'm carried away, I'm carried away, I'm always getting carried away. Dip my toes in the gold for a moment, leaving twenty little prints in the wake of my day.

19 (Almost 20)
The likes of you I can't describe, Yet I love to eat between your thighs. The melody you spake to me Unfolds my greatest sovereignty. I crave to quaff all of your spit, And swallow every drop of it. Don't cheat me of your tasty flesh, Those bare and supple ****** ******* Your eyes that follow my firm gaze, While we kiss and lick and misbehave. I need to feel each piece of skin, Smashing girl and boy parts over and over again. It's such a treat to eat you whole; I'm obsessed with eating 19-year-olds.

and here you are, again. in this dimly lighted bar, surrounded by middle-aged men who only want to mess with you. with your marlboro cigarette in hand, and your expensive, 100$ whiskey on the counter, you think you figured life out. *life is just about to begin, honey.*
