#rushed - Hello Poetry

i find myself to be a contentious person because my big mouth never shuts but there's a lot of good coming out that just gets interlaced with some bad well-meaning, albeit, not exactly thought out thoughts that get espoused before they're finished i'm a rushed man amid no rapids

Big Mouth

i find myself to be a contentious person because my big mouth never shuts but there's a lot of good coming out that just gets interlaced with some bad well-meaning, albeit, not exactly thought out thoughts that get espoused before they're finished i'm a rushed man amid no rapids

i hold the poetry within me i feel it within my bones and it burrows within my soul but i can't write and my fingers won't work. i need to speak and i need to let someone in. this is not something i can just tell with my pen.

When I write poetry I write like I speak Almost Basically My thoughts Feelings Emotions As they come But When she writes Each word Each phrase Each letter Each sound is carefully thought out Meticulous Perfect Each, an essential part of the whole The materpiece So, Is it something I will learn? When I grow up? Or, Is it an innate difference between us?

When she Writes

emotions are the center of every attraction some pull you back while others take you out sadness takes you in and out and can never be controlled anger takes you out controlling you it feels as if it will never perish happiness is short rare helpless true can last for a lifetime if you use it wisely being scared afraid maybe for the future the present the past it pulls you back hoping to take you down there are many emotions that cant be described you can try but it will never truly be right these basic emotions split into parts some can help some you cant stop

My heels clip on London concrete. My hamstrings strain To increase my stride. I slalom around Pavement zombies, Phone junkies, Loitering monkeys. Don’t they see? I’m late for a meeting With a client of grandeur. A key player. A major money man. (I can’t drop the name Due to a Signed NDA). It was suppose to be A blue sky meeting On a grey winters morning. But I slept too long, And the tube Went wrong, And now I’ve Got the dreads. If I’m late, My rep will be tarnished. I’ll never secure Another meeting again. Because in this town, Time is a diamond We can’t possess. But we know it exists; Out there on the outskirts, Out there in the sticks. It’s below freezing but I’m Working a sweat; A pavement cardio, A sidewalk rodeo, A street athletics show. There’s no way I am going To be on time. It’s curtains for me; I’ve sealed my P45. Finally I arrive. I collapse at the entrance, My power-walk ending In a muted reception. I approach the desk. ‘Yes?’ Glared a future X-factor entrant. ‘Good morning. I’m here to see The top brass. The big cheese. The head honcho. I was delayed, but please, Pass my humblest regrets, I am spinning a lie Which I hope he accepts.’ ‘I’m sorry, sir,’ The young lady chewed. ‘The Great Man is away, Tanning on a beach. You’ll need to reschedule; He returns in two weeks.’

Marry me, he says It's MY finger Love me, he says It's MY feelings **** me,* he says It's MY ****** Wear this, he says It's MY body Be mine, he says I am MY own person ..... However I succumbed and married him Only to have 3 affairs 2 children and the saddest life in the closet never able to be my true self. I should have said all along No Don't rush me .....
