Oh stay at home, my lad, and plough
The land and not the sea,
And leave the soldiers at their drill,
And all about the idle hill
Shepherd your sheep with me.

Oh stay with company and mirth
And daylight and the air;
Too full already is the grave
Of fellows that were good and brave
And died bacause they were.

Hi. I'm human.

I make a lot of mistakes.

I'm hard-headed.

Assumptious.

Emotional.

Human.

I say things I don't mean,

And I mean things that I don't say.

I'm very curious., yet I fear the unknown.

I display all of my vices and conceal all of my virtues.

I get in my own way.

I'm human.

I am very unique, yet completely ordinary.

I lose interest in things quickly,

Yet stick with others 'til the end.

I'm loyal, yet promiscuous.

I want it all, but I'm happy where I am.

I'm quick to love amd slow to hate.

Well... Most of the time.

I am shoot first and ask questions later.

Well... sometimes.

I believe that there is a being greater than I.

And, no, I don't mean Beyonce.

I believe that science s a way to explain religion.

I believe in magic.

I'm Human.

I'm a bit sociopathic,,,

A bit crazed...

A bit depressed...

...but still lovable.

I'm very lonely,

but prideful and independent.

I'm desperate for love and need a good hug.

I'm human.

I'm stressed about the small things and

Lax about the big.

I set goals I never work towards,

And pass up opportunities that were thrown at me.

I stand up for what I believe-

Even if it's just in my imagination.

I want to fit in.

I want to stand out.

I'm a walking contradiction.

I'm human.

I have been stripped of my innocence and ****** into the real world.

I am given questions that I cannot answer.

I am given choices that aren't mine to decide.

I work through the hard times,

And pray for rain.

I have little faith in myself, though I would support my kin to the end.

I detest the atrocities of life,

And then add to their fuel.

But, I'm human.

I submerge myself in material things so that I don't have to face the terror that is our Earth.

Not the Earth of nature,

But the Earth of OUR creation.

I do stupid things, and ignorantly stand by them.

I do smart things, and stupidly apologize for them.

I have attitude-

PLENTY of it-

But maybe not the right type.

I'm human.

I defy the laws I have created.

I live to die.

Sunrise to Sunset.

I am NOT infinite.,,

,,,

,,,

,, ,And that scares me.

Because i'm human,

I am not limitless.

I push my own boundaries,

And orance on the border of sanity.

And

I

Love

It.

I'm human.

So my lies come easy but my truths are hard.

I'm scared of the dark,

Since it screams the truth.

I embrace thelight and oush the unwanted into it's shadows.

I want life to be eventful,

but I don't ever wanna lesve my bed.

I laugh.

I cry.

And panic.

And rejoice.

Bacause I am human.

100% ****-sapien.

And this. Is. Me,

you see me
my eyes dart away
my heart races
fear? panic? hatred? sorrow? regret?
I'm not sure
you knew me entirely
yet your heart was caged
you'll tell me she got in
yet if she did why isn't she enough?
why can't you be around me?
you blame it all on me
like I'll force your hand
when I can't even move my own
you say I made the first move
I'd laugh bacause your game is solitaire
and I was just another card
you threw me around
losing pieces in the process
your eyes cold as ice
you look away
I wonder if you hear
my heart shattering as you do
JustChloe Feb 2017
You never ask me if I'm okay anymore
Is that because you know the answer
Or do you no longer care enough to find out

You never ask me if I'm okay anymore
And I don't know why you didn't stop sooner
I lie everytime, so there's no reason for you to do it

You never ask me if I'm okay anymore
I guess you could say I never ask you
But that's only bacause I know there I things that you don't want to talk me through


You never ask me if I'm okay anymore
And I think this is where I start to lose you
Every single day
i seem to be digging my own grave
another foot down
to escape my world
as it's being burned down

it hurts now an forever
bacause we know
when we stop lying to ourselves
we wasted every moment together
though we're living in this hell

and I leave the T.V. on
so it feels like someone's alive here
while we're all sleepwalking
and we know **** well
that no one survived here

so stop and take a breath
to catch the ******* that we said
and peel the stress of your hands
so you don't feel like we're all dead

summertime,
the livin's rough
but it doesn't seem to bother us
cause we're allways too ****** up
to catch the moral of the story
cause it's boring growing up

only trust enough to touch
the face of my redeemer
but wherever she went
whatever she said
i can only mislead her
and i wish what I could find her
cause i'm starting to believe her

we live
our lives
like verything is fine
but when you scratch the surface
there's another truth to find

I find
we live
we die
and everything's allright
because the bottle's only half gone
guess i'll make it through the night

so we start another morning
dead from the night before it
our cigarettes and shillouettes
are symptoms of our longing

stretch, yawn
check the mirror for any damages
wash the blood and ***** off
thinking you can handle it

then the stomache goes south
from the abrasions and the chemicals
and exits through your moouth
in a sick, acidic spectacle

it happens to the best of us
when everybody's testing you
and you can't fight the feeling
that everything they said was true

that last beer
the one that you can handle
cause you're "man enough"
is you trying to tell yourself
i've had it up to here with love
saying that you've had enough

hit the bottle again
but second guess it
cause you know you're ******
finish every drop
at least this won't leave your feeling crushed.
******* A, man.

Grandma used to tell me stories about men like you in the early 60's
but I was born an old soul
and I thought I was invincible to this world
until you came pretending you could feel my own feelings

A friend told me that I shouldn't show off my happiness like a pair of new earrings
I told her I wasn't afraid
he was never going to run away
and there we were, fixing the holes in the ceiling

The sun was brighter and the moon was darker
the future used to caress my red hair
do I know this is only an affair?
Maybe I should save him
maybe it'll be fair

In a cold night of march I swear I could see his eyes reading what I was thinking
when he said he had to go away
I knew he had to find a new prey
bacause my heart was already too damaged to be deceived

If I'm not enough for his adventurous life
there is a reality which I can't fight
Though you are my missing piece
It's better to live with half of me
kendall Malish Oct 2015
i was greiving a person who hadnt died
but who forgot about my pressence
made me vanish from thier intrests

the twisted thing to this game that we played
you lost me with a sense of releif
i went away with lust for you
i wanted you back
i sat in my room awake until 4am writing about my insanity
soaked my sadness with *****

i sat on the roof in the cold twice bacause inside could not contain me
my music blasted at its highest dose of treatment but did not cure me

loneliness has sunk in like the sun sunk beneath the skyline at 7:30pm
like how your tounge sunk between my teeth when you wanted me for the night
my needy hands grabbed and tugged at you and your cold selfish hands needed them back for awhile
you got tired of me
Dimitrios Sarris Jul 2017
It saddens my heart to
see the pain and suffering
people inflict on each other.
It saddens me beacause
they don't want to stop.
It saddens me that people
crave the opposite of honesty.
It saddens my soul that poeple
critisize and feel happy in the
suffering of each other.
It saddens me that they would do
anything for attention in the
frame of social media.
It saddens me that they do the
opposite from what they must
and all they feel is anger
just blaming anything but
themeselves.
It saddens my heart that they do
not recognize the distortion within
and they won't ever truly awaken.
It saddens me bacause it feels like
i'll be fighting these people till the
end of my days.
It saddens...sigh
It saddens me because these words
would mean nothing to them.
Sheila M King Jun 2016
Take what I am
Take all that I do
Hold me
Control me
Until I subdue
Until I'm no longer who I once was
Twist it
Bend it
Unconditional Love
Degrade the puppet I have become
Ruthless... bacause I am troublesome
Take all of my breath my heart and my soul
Make me what you need
Your in control
Now I am no longer what I once was
Blame me
Hate me
Unconditional love
Step back and enjoy the monster you made
Point your finger I am to blame
Do you still love the "me" I've become
Destroyed us completly
Unconditional love
Roses are blue
Violets are black
My love my wonder
Please dont come back
Take this bouquet and nothing more
Take only that and here,
I'll show you the door
walk through that door
and dont look back
Bacause if you do
I'll follow you out
Lefa Mzondi Mar 2019
I'm looking for that person who told you it's okay to slaughter a cow but not a cat
And who told you slaughtering a goat was evil
Who told you that only cows and sheep should be eaten
That person who told you cow milk was "healthier" than your moms breast milk
Who told you the Bible was superior to the Quran
Who told you Silasi, Buddha, Mahommed, Krishna & Christ were different
Who said African ancestors were evil and English ones weren't

I'm looking for that person who told you mordern medicine was better/different from traditional medicine
Who told you cannabis was a drug
Who told you English was a sign of intelligence, and illiteracy shown you were 'stupid'
Who told you education makes you wise

I want that person who told you being 18 means you're old enough to vote, drink, get married, etc Why not 13?
Who told you a woman's place is in the kitchen and a man's in the garden
Who told you that you have to wear specific type of clothes

And who the hell told you white skin was better looking than melanin?
The person who told you you gotta bleach your beautiful melanin skin, burn you hair, speak a foreign language, to fit in
Who told you my dreadlocks were 'unprofessional' and untidy, and your silky hair wasn't?
Give me that person who told you "thick" was better than "skinny"
Who told you big bums are sign of beauty

I want the person who told you 'traditional' wedding is not legal but 'white' is
That person who told young people it's Okay to respect elders
Who told them it's okay to disrespect tradition
And that person who told you you can't change tradition

I want that person who took your ability to think for yourself
Wo took your ability to reason, research, read

Bacause all I see is a lot of dead fish flowing with the river
God goes
With me always
He will never leave me.
Or forsake me; I'll be strong.
He says
Not be afraid or terrified.
Bacause He goes in front.
And leads me by
Holding
Deuteronomy 31:6
Kimmy Feb 2019
Where will I find myself,
if even the kitchen rodents hate me?
If the very person who bore me in her womb
just outright tells me she abhors me;
If all that comforts me at night
is a rotting second-hand sofa
And also an old blanket I got for Christmas
that warms me from the chills of a previous brouhaha;
How am I supposed to know my value,
if all they ever tell me is that I'm ugly?
That even the fanciest of jewelries and gowns,
can never make me pretty;
What can the world offer me,
when I'm blind and see only hues of blue?
Or when I cradle myself in tears,
when I know not what's next to do?
What do I owe the people
who see me hurt but don't wipe away my tears?
When I know they here me screaming,
while I beg for solemn peace.
How can I ever be so proud of my efforts,
if no one ever sees?
Most specially the people,
I need to see me bleed.
So bear with me if I tell you,
that I'm tired of listening,
because no one ever hears me out
when it's my heart that's been shattering.
Don't blame me if I tell you,
that I'm tired of living,
Bacause all those I ever trusted,
left and had me hanging.
Don't cry if you hear me say
that I'm tired of fighting,
Because all I was is in past tense
and it's too late for your grieving.

Not all men,
Don't paint them with the same brush.
There are good fellas out there,
They're just hidden in the hush.

Not all men,
Don't be harsh and snap.
You're hurting their feelings,
By saying that.

Not all men
Just all your male classmates,
With different ages, incomes and background.
You think they're all the same cloth, but they're just clout
Real men are out there; you just have to be alert to find out

Not all men
Well, maybe your work colleagues
But just because they get carried in their jokes
Doesn't mean the nice guys have to pay for it

Not all men
Just your brother, cousins and uncles
Are the perfect stereotype of what they claim not to be
Maybe you just have to open your heart and see what they want you to see

Not all men
Remember that nice guy you met?
He was so charming and polite
So what that with his group friends he's the first to make a  offensive little Joke and get everybody to crack ?

Not all men
What about you lovely lover?
He doesn't want to be with you when it gets too hard
But he's so nice, isn't he? You should be more grateful for the lad!

Not all men
Didn't you have a dad?
He screamed and horrorofied you
Just thinking about your own good so
Why do you treat him so bad?

Not all men
Your classmate is so smart!
He can talk about books and life
Is it such a big deal he told you these words
As a heartfelt friend advice?

Not all men
You're just too boring!
Can't take a ******* joke
And then think they're all terrible

So what if he's married and has a baby girl
Yet still watching **** in class and talk about
Getting underage girls?

So what if he has a younger sister
And talk with our classmates about
Wich one he's going to let be the lucky guy
That will make it in their house to take her at night?

Not all men
Stop being dramatic!
Boys will be boys
What's the catastrophe?

Not all men,
You just have to find the right one,
Who will tell you that boys are just like that,
And aren't intending to harm anyone.

He doesn't even think about how my heart sinks
When I talk about all these things
And I get back that I'm such a drama queen
Bacause that's just how people are
A laught doesn't turn them mean

Not all men
But how am I gonna trust a men
That joke at every woman they know
And act defenseless when the misogyny it's shown

Not all men,
I guess I want to believe it,
And that's why my heart aches so much,
Because always when I think I've found the right one,
The right friend, the right love

All men,
Not leaving one out at all,
Have proven me wrong so far,
And it hurts deeply,
Because I want to believe  it.
Not all men,
But all I've met so far.

I wasn't born privileged
That is why I see every day
as a blessing
My parents sacrificed a lot
for me to get here
It is time I wiped off my tears
I do want to play with
some other peeps
But I am responsible
for my own stomach
I no longer complain nor cry
Bacause nobody needs an
extra burden
I grew up wishing and dreaming
to have a good life
I didn't know that
it was this hard
I won't stop trying my best
as long as I am still breathing
I will surrender to guidance
and find a better way to make
myself proud
I will die for this
