Unjust curve
I'd rather write a million poems Than appease to what's unjust; I'd rather die a million times, Than in you to put my trust. And if in the end I really must, I reckon there's spells to cast; And for those I'll be ****** for, But at least I stayed, True to my core.

A million poems
Songs to a funeral;- a love they’ll caper to those Who will use you, leave you when a conclusion is reached- Bury you a hero without a cape; that seems to be a reach; Sending you off with a eulogy and a good enough preach Praises with sweet remarks; devour your memory like a peach To those who only lived to tear your heart, who will shed tears, But don’t expect it to be something so dear from their heart You’ll lose your dignity, in their gossip during the after lunch While you’re stuffed in a box, they’ll stuff leftovers in a lunchbox Those you had owed, will be quick to call you a sly dead fox They’ll wage wars, over all of your once questioned clothing Claim it’s a war of their love, in a false sense they’ll hide They’ll pose as friends, in pictures snipped for their timeline Speak of all the good times they never shared, with a big smile Say all of the goods things that you’d never hear as a reward Cry for you not to go- during a service where they are so bored And you too, will be so bored of such a song for your send off -So funny that death can bring to life, the worst side of us all

Funeral Songs
When people say a duty is to be done. However, that is only done by some. The rules do not stay. Each situation to its own way. In some situations, it is seen as the rule. In other times, it is misconstrued. You are accused of kicking up a fuss. When others had not done their task. Is it not right that one should clean up one's mess? It would not be fair to push it to the rest. Why do some get away with what others must do? Under the same boss but governed by a different rule? To give partiality based on seniority. You would just be losing your credibility. Please follow through the rules you set. That way you'll earn much more respect.

Unjust.
The way they describe you, In the complex analogy, Speak of you as an object, Sitting here I remind quiet, A part of the problem, Rather than embracing your personality, They embrace your figure, Rather than embracing your kindness, They embrace your figure, Rather than embracing your strength, They embrace your figure, I continue to drink, Staying to myself, I acknowledge the problem, That makes me no better than them.

Pleasure
I’ve always wondered what your intention was You see, the intention is what makes all the difference I know now that you intended to trap me To make me behave as you wish You tried to learn about me so you could figure out how to control me Your words that gave me hope, you said them to trap me I don’t think you ever meant to stay loyal to your words How is anyone supposed to trust you when your words mean nothing You like to own things; you’ve shown me that You are so proud of all the things you own Do you understand that I am not a thing? I am a conscious person You are so used to control; it was like second nature for you to try and trap me But you see, You have no right to trap me, to control me, to have power over me You have no right, Because I am mine and mine alone Do you understand?

I Am Mine
Everybody acts like they do no harm At the sight of the truth, We say no that's not mine that's yours What a showmanship Gaslighting 101 should be a gen-ed course Professor preach to me, watch out for the ones you care for They will burn you alive They will laugh while you turn into ashes and tears All in the name of love, I'll sin like a saint and bless like a sinner Funny seeing you be upset with me For not carrying your weight anymore It was never mine to carry, and I don't mind you being upset Because you never stopped to think, oh, she's crushing under the weight, I should carry my share I'm not here for your convenience I'm here to die we all are All my best friends are losing their innocence And I miss our innocence Very much, very much so All in the name of love, I'll sin like a saint and bless like a sinner

Bending On The Knee
Ash Haffner, she was only 16. Was living it up, smiling all the way. Until that day, bullies were coming from the left & the right. Knocking her down with their ruthless cutting edge words, she just wanted to be accepted by all. Girls were snickering it up, “Hey look, is that a girl or a guy?!” At school, in the gym locker rooms. Ash Haffner couldn’t even get dressed, & two the other girls were uncomfortable. Ash wasn’t just being bullied by the youths, she was also being bullied by adults as well. One mother wouldn’t let her daughter anywhere near Ash, afraid that “she would become gay.” On December 28th, she had enough. Texting her friends up later that night, “I’m done & I’m ready to die.” On December 28th, tragedy struck…. Ash walked into oncoming traffic & was hit by a jeep… She later died the very next morning. Ash was being hated and discriminated against, especially by her parents as well. This tragic event claimed worldwide attention, writing a suicide note down from on Tumblr. Stating that: “She would never be happy with her appearance or with the way her voice sounds, nor will a man wanna ever love her either.” Ash is & forever always will be a symbol for Transgender Justice, bringing fourth awareness world nation wide. When Ash first came out as a transgender girl to her mother, it went downhill from there. Her mother was ****** sending Ash to Christian Conversion Therapy. Where she will realize & see that God had truly made her a boy, & that he has made no mistakes. Ash soon became depressed, her parents caged her from being around friends, including all electronics. Locking her away from the world, denying her right to be forever happy. The parents buried Ash as a boy, their little girl. Engraving her birth name, Joshua Jeremy Alcorn. It was the ultimate disrespect this world has ever seen, it has a lotta people. Including the LGBTQ Community in hysterics, even Kim Kardashian & Lavern *** have stated their claims upon the matter at hand as well.

Rosalie Avila, she was only 13. Happy as can be, smiling like the brightest sun. Loving life, while spreading the joy around. Until that day at school, classmates started teasing her, while calling Rosalie such horrific names. She started cutting, numbing every emotion that came her way. Taunting Rosalie, always sat alone in the lunchroom. Their words were tearing her apart, ripping away her self esteem. She had enough, going home, heading towards her room, closing the door. Her mom came walking inside, gasping in horror, seeing her baby girl hanging from the ceiling. Quickly taken to the emergency room, where she was later put off life support… Still the bullying keeps coming up, teens are now trolling, even bashing the parents. Mocking, judging, discriminating, hating, smacking. Rosalie's parents are still grieving and mourning, while wishing upon a shooting star that their daughter was never put through all that crap.

Everyone in this world needs a little saving From the treacherous ones, From all the things that might seem so overwhelming, Too overwhelming to even be possible. Everyone in this world deserves the best No matter how rough they may be, No matter how shrewd they may be But to the ones like you, The ones that are so pure at heart, The ones that put others first, no matter what they're going through themselves, You, deserve something even better. You may feel desperate at times, Desperate for your share, for your share of love And of life, and of happiness, and of satisfaction But with time you shall have it all, Every single thing that you've ever wished for, You shall have it all, But not before the time is right Not before this world has prepared you for it. You may have a lot of friends, And you may not be able to share your mind with them, But you oughta know that you're being heard, You're being heard every single time you wish to be heard. There may be times when you feel low, Times when you feel that life is not just, Times when you want to quit and stay low, But remember that times like these are the best for that must needed ****** Life is hard, I get it But you're a winner, trust me You've got everything sorted in your head, even though you may not know about it, You've got it all sorted out in your heart. Just be grateful for what you have, Hold on to the ones who look out for you, Take your time to absorb everything that's going on with you, And, with your head held high, kick all the walls down that try to hold you hostage. For you are the one you've been looking for in all the wrong places, For you are the hero in your story, For you are one of a kind, unparalleled, For you are, already in your mind, whatever you dream to be.

I cannot tell if my heart is unjust I cannot tell If I am alive I cannot tell if I have a choice I cannot tell if my words are worthy I cannot speak although I have a voice is it fait that I was given a faintest of a chance to live for I have not done a difference and my words are undone by any fellow that claims he's me Do I have a personality behind this mask I've been hiding behind im scared the mask is my true own self and once I remove it I wont be alive.

You can't tell me it was right I saw their faces, I saw your face Pain, sadness, all the bad things, I saw it I felt their hope fade, the silence in their ears You can't tell me it was right You didn't hear the cracking sounds their hearts made You did't feel the blood pumping throughout their brains You put a hand on them, you inflicted that pain But you don't know do you? It was not right

But was it right?
Crouching on the mud dirt ground, Is a child, sweat, blood, tears, Smudging its face, Sunken eyes, Sinking deeper into its face, Of misery, Of loss, Of a crippled reality, So harsh- unjust, Its skin is paper thin, Eyes like a nights sky, But missing the stars, Its 7, Still pure, Still innocent, Unlike the world, Who turned against it, Before it even took its first breath, It was this world that killed its parent's, Siblings, Uncles and Aunts, Killed its soul, Cut out the love, Pushed forward the pain, This world seems to think its funny- a game, But it's not, It's not, It's a boy, And nobody ever learned his name.

Unjust
Dishonorable, repugnant, grotesque. Words highlighted, bright, In correlation with your actions. Gristle filled morality. Chewing on the facts; Unable to digest. Audacity to ask For cruel silence. Allegiance forcibly chosen. Claws against ribcage Something's trying to escape You put in chains. Thoughts off the edge Falling in circles Crashing on pikes. Hands clinched tight On brittle strands Of ***** blonde hair. snap A cowards lies Tattooed on my bones "Approved eyes only." Can't breathe Atmosphere is toxic Gassed by friendly fire. Status quo upheld Smile, pretty white teeth. Ready to rip out.

Gristle Filled Morality
It is said that it's the early bird which catches the worm and that in matters of principle we should all stand firm. But what if the birds are many and the worms are few, those principles people adhere to are unjust and untrue? _____________________________

What is fair? It is a simple question. I never really knew what was fair and what wasn't. Do what you are told. As a child one continues on, no matter the circumstances. Do they question the fairness of what they're exposed? No. It is only upon reflection that one feels the indignation that they endured. More often than not, the suffering at the hands of another. Is this fair? Pent up anger, so suppressed it causes physical disease. Passive annoyance, felt, but never spoken. What is one to do when this is their reality? How can one unleash the pain of indignation? Who determines what is fair and unjust? These are questions which are difficult to answer, therefore, remain rhetorical. For sometimes an answer in the spoken form, is never enough. Nor is an apology.

Indignation
The thunder days are closing in and Undeniably, I am accompanying misery for all the wrong reasons. Assumptions subset in the mist of time, Leaving no room to breathe, which something that I need, with all the fibers of my being. Yet, the beating has not subsided and The grip of reality is shocking, with the lack of clarity, just when something seems write, it is the mentality that bothers me for someone, to think of getting away with wrongs when the burden of proof is irrefragably white. Yes, the beginning is often misleading to believe as the clues and evidences oftentimes suppressed or disappear, But, the glimpse of white sky Is always over shadowing the black darkness Even when the season is obviously wrong. ** Written Date Unknown Posted @jobiranyc (9/15/2017)**

My Opinion On War
School is just a prison. White walls. Strict rules. Itching souls. School is just a prison. After all, we're told what to wear, when to eat, what to do, what to say, how to behave. School is just a prison. What voice do students have? What power do we hold? What checks and balances exist by us? Like prisoners, all we can do, is bow our heads and just take it.

Food For Thought
Dogs smell tyres. Chew on bones. *** on tyres. Get shooed away by stones. Life menstruates. Much too feminine. Too much to cry about. Too much pain. The smaller you want. The bigger you get. The bigger you expect. Nothing you get. Years pass by. Numbers keep rising. The loop of trust diminishes. Sitting by a fountain. Chase a butterfly. Wait till it sits. Hold it within your palm. Hold it till it fits. Life ***** around. Too much stink. Too much to wash about. You dwell in the stink. Listen to big hearts. Believe in small minds. Trust in what you want to. Life still grinds. Fight gravity. Stay up till you fall. Right after you fall. Don’t believe in gravity at all. Gauge equations. Evaluate situations. Fatigue creeps in. Your mind; and its discretions. Love till you die. Die till you love. It’s all unfair. Unjust. Love; and it expectations.
