she sees genitals in everything each human Cain marked by its gender members like gold stars for good homework all animals are grades of randy all dwellings are swelling with symbolic heat all art is *** oppressed or freudulently splayed the weather denotes ****** mood openings are all the map scoldings of geography rude pink glints making everything sheriff all blood flow and flower the violences the histories all family miseries and strife all of life is marred married and wetly signed by its generals 'keeping *** honest through creative abundance is that it ?' ( i clumsy suggest) as she labels a room full of children at a birthday party 'adulting' their healthy play and sketching it as a theatre of breeding practice she consults herself and says 'dunno .. but that's interesting'

the genital mention
The you … who thinks you’re not enough To the you… who thinks you’ll never be enough The you ... whose joy and hopes are smashed against the wall Crying aloud for the father that made you abhor Any relationship that could or should have been more The man you thought was supposed to make you feel protected from within The border named family But sadly ... You didn’t know that this is your sad reality That you have been blinded by what media has fed your mentality And made you see yourself less than your true worth And closed your heart to people because of the hurt But remember this is not the end This is far from the end This is the beginning that is to be reimagined It’s the future that was blurred by all of the sadness To the you that is limitless

To the You....
No more days wasted running round and round Hiding from each new unexplained sound The negative outlook continues holding me back It's time to get my life on track Let past me die so I can be born once more New confidence shining from my core My mind will remain open my mouth will stay shut Bedazzled jeans adorning **** Stop creating excuses for my bad habit My improved self is strong enough to quit!

Too much honey
i think we got it wrong when we think of strong for its not a mind that thinks of me and mine or controlled by need or greed its one thats gone inside and dissolved all internal needs and turns towards the world with hearts and hands of kind

I Think We Got It Wrong
So I couldn’t bring myself to do it So what? Love comes around and goes around High school was never meant to last forever Four years in hell Is better than an eternity of being dead Plus That wasn’t always my outlook So what? People grow and I should be no different Single on valentines again For the fourteenth year Is better than an eternity of being dead

Valen Time’s a Ticking
It can’t make it It can’t go on It’s numb It’s giving up It’s tired It’s forced to keep moving It slumps up It takes a step And another It walks It walks It walks It walks faster Faster Faster It tripped It cries It sits down It looks ahead It wants to keep walking It stands up It walks It walks faster Faster Faster Faster It’s running Faster Faster Running It slows to a steady pace It made it And It can’t tell the first line it makes it

Marathon Mountain
Tiny bird, so full of hope Longing to see the world beyond Yet confined in its cage Filled with illusions Believing in a place Where freedom reigns Tiny bird, With crippled wings Unable to soar Above the endless sea Chirping with faith That its song will heal Someone's distorted mind Tiny bird, the door is open A chance to take flight And bathe in the Sun's rays Look at how your eyes reflect The glimmer of hope That was once diminished Tiny bird, harmed by cruelty Taking a leap Risking life for its desire Against all odds Tweets of delight echoes above As a path has revealed Tiny bird, with a world to explore Unwavering in its pursuit To see what lies beyond its cage With mangled wings He turns away From the life that leaves him immobile Oh, How Tiny I must appear As this bird soars away

<If life and nature is the ultimate creation of human intelligence, then life and nature is endless . It can be formed and created in many different environments and laws of living . Though Intelligence isn't a cheap price , when it comes to value and worth of being here today . Experiencing sight , feeling, smell , hearing . Senses that all paint a beautiful living Experience in the minds eye . The view of every day after waking up from our daily slumber .> -EC

A Given Thought
Sometimes you change And so does your mentality. You ain't recognize your taste, Unfollow pages, cause now they bring anxiety. Sometimes you change And not only location, But also people that you place Around yourself, it's called prioritization. Sometimes you change And ain't making same decision. New choices you now make Do set new course and clear your vision.

Sometimes you change
A Child full of wonder comes home And hangs her coat on a peg She hangs her backpack Her scarf and her mittens on a string the new friends she made the smell of a spring and freshly baked biscuits And the sound of Mrs Townsend taking the register She puts her headband on the peg, with her name painted on it in silver And her jumper with her name sewn inside The whirr of the acorn computer and the flash of coloured pencils The shyness and worry about not fitting in The wish to be seen but not be the centre of attention The worry about nightmares coming true The realisation that everything just like the day has to come to an end I will always love you She longed for a skipping rope She ties the rope securely around the peg How sturdy with all this weight She stares at the peg proudly She thought about her day and her hopes and her worries and thought about how heavy they can sometimes feel So she knows this peg is doing a great job At taking the load

The Peg
I am Eve I know I am life I know why a heart beats I know why the cat sleeps Far too much I know why the moon glows I know why the mould grows In the bread bin I know why the earth shakes I know why the dog wakes And barks at the world I know why the wind moans I know why we break bones When falling off benches I know why the stars shine I know how to write a couplet As grand as Shakespeare I know why the trees groan I know why the hormones Rush through teenagers I know why we exist I know why we like lists And ticking off the boxes I know why you and I Can stare at the same big sky   And see a different thing I am the raging turbulent seas I am a cold cup of tea I am whatever you make of me.

Existentialism and soggy bread
I am daylight of a dissolving stay in Paris looking over wrought-iron dreams peering through baroque and promises at the ransom note written on a sleeping **** sunbather's ********** where it reads: "*...our marriage was nothing more than a foxhole to you.*" ~

European Fear
Sometimes I stick out from my friends a bit - I think. It’s the French in me. Americans have this excité-ment about things - that’s, well, exhausting. Sometimes, when friends are jumping about, they practically plead for my engagement. I think I have a genetic, French reticence, an observer gene. True, I have my moments of bitter COVID lock-down angst but I'm doing better than some friends. Maybe because the French live slowly - life is just moments - once a moment has passed, it’s gone. I wait, in my secret gardens, like a cat on a settee, sipping small pleasures. The poet in me refuses to zone out - there are poems in the stillness.

I'm cut Not too deeply Perhaps a flesh wound One drop or two And then all is well Closing over Let the healing begin And I will think of it no more Goodbye year of the knife Hello restorative day

***** Thy Finger
A net sum of years,             and romanticized numerals, Built up by birthdays,             to be torn apart by funerals. Frayed ends of friendships,             pulled until they popped. A holy mess             in the wake of a difference, Between what said             and what was thought.

Romanticized Numerals
You say you dont know who you are You rearing to leave us a scar I still dont understand the way You sulk through life each day Not that im one to pass But im getting quite crass With the way you say Nothing is better today

Not Today
This pain in my chest is frightening. The strain of arrest tightening. I can feel deep down inside of me . Openly discovering . Natural habits I couldn't see . What does it take to believe? In the light , Before the darkness is only perceived. Clouds of hate with rains that come with a fee. Every day the spitting image of blasphemy. It's likely , I've gaven every part of me . Nothing left but a empty blue sea . Not a boat in sight to save me . I try so hard to stay afloat of all my dreams. But soon to be dragged down to the depths Underneath what is known as our society.

Scared
her crystal pedestal shattered her tiara bent and covered in filth lying in a river of her tears who she was now in soul searching question the true test of a princess is not how she holds herself when waving to the crowds but rather how well she cleans the hearth when finery becomes tattered

once a princess...
Breathe in Your coffee every morning Breathe out The nightmares of last night Accept Your cat brushing against your leg Decline His apologetic lies Welcome in The clarity of brisk air on your walk to work Throw out Her unwanted baggage Embrace A new day, the sun, the birds, what lies ahead... independence-- you're not alone. Push away Everything which ruins your evening, paranoia, grief, the unknown... The stars are yours to hold Your life belongs to you again Breathe, accept, welcome, embrace.

Every day you are given is a blessing Whether you crawl through or sprint full speed Not one single thing is greater than the gift of life That sounds clique I know this positive outlook isn't sustainable Regardless, I will express this significant message because I yearn for it to ring true Every given day is a blessing

Deep down I won’t just put up with your ****
Everything about the future is so different now: Thinking about the future before, Used to be like fluffy white clouds, Hopeful and filled with friends, Back then, I could never have imagined not having friends And I'm not even the type of person who's magically friends with everyone, But I always assumed I'd still have a few, And then it wouldn't matter so much how many people hated me, Hypothetically, if anyone even bothered enough to. I'm not sure they would though, Because I don't feel like anyone even sees me, Not anymore, and probably not in the first place, But I didn't care then, enough to notice.
