"I should have kissed her..."
Wrote this eons ago, tonight, once more, spend some human capital, editing... Something to think about as we tuck ourselves in. the young'uns keep on asking me for tips, secrets, to this art, magical poetry gig, as if I had any left unrevealed.   recalled this old'n, from a vintage poetry year, as a suggestion, a stating-starting place, for young poets: do not self-chain, let the words take you where they lead, write them up for the rhyme is waiting, in the heart chest deep down, not on the screen. I read you Goodnight Moon, Falling asleep beside you. <•> People stop rhyming... When first you overcome your fears, And dare to put on paper your tears, Give it up, set yourself free from the shackles, Of thinking a rhyme is a necessity for a Rooting tooting writing of a **** good poem or a barrel of crackles If you feel lost, Want to share the cost, Feel not bossed, By a newbie's need to believe that if it rhymes Everyone will like your poem Just fine And if you get past this stage, And advance to the next page, Do not think that writing down a sentence of Your mind's first up, innermost thoughts, Is something that will make you Less lost, heralded, worthy of a parade, And be blessed with an A   In your Teacher's pet grade book My heart broke. I feel bad. I feel sad Cause my man/woman left me And I hope Someone kicks his or her *** That Ain't No Poem Neither... And if you can't help but complain repeatedly How life ***** and you're feeling blue extremely indiscreetly, Don't make me try on your scribblings intimately indiscriminately, Read a million, even wrote a few myself You think you can write? Then employ a word outside your comfort zone, Go it alone, Write just four sentences that will make The hopeful reader stand up and you, Twice as much, and shout **Hallelujah ******* Work. Poetry is work. Hard work. Don't fret. But, think on it. Let it come easy, then let it rest,. Then spend days editing every comma, And when you love it so much, You are chest busting bursting, Why have you not pressed Send already? Have the sweetest dreams. In the morning, when you but awake, A poem will be aborning in thy mind, And dare I say it, you will find a new freedom In free verse. (I know you will slip in a rhyme or two, I can't help but do it too) G' nite!

when the sun shines,my mind finds, inspiration as I look upon a nation with untapped potential and a need for influential ****** such as myself. I do not brag or boast, I am just a sand peckle laying in the coast, but I refuse to be tossed and bossed around by the waves of social expectations and wicked ways of a nation just so one day I can hope to be found. the tongue is powerful so I watch what I say, I believe in self motivation just incase friends slowly start pushing away, I believe in being morally upright and refusing discrimination upon Gods creations, communications without conflicts having good public relations. I would not go so far as to call myself a king for motivation, I would only say that I am a man that brings comfortation, don't cling to observations, just sing and make proclamations, that people aren't actually free. I mean they are but don't act like it, matter of fact they don't like it when you tell them they are stuck to routines. people are so busy trying to make a living but forget to make a life for themselves. my mind is an attic, filled with the old and the New coz it's dynamic, I am also an addict, to a tragic free life. so when you say life's a ***** just know your the snitch that let life dig a ditch and placed you in it, now stop for a minute and think about it and try admit it, most of us don't get in it, we were just born in it. we woke up to walls around us, limitations.life is for the living, get out there and breathe in the fresh air, believe in something but beware, have good desires, coz if not you end up in the ditch this time burning with fire.

He may be twisted but deep inside, I believe lies a man full of pure love and affection. Grounded, surrounded, bossed around, But sets me free into his safe arms. As if fear drags us apart. I was so blind, but now I see. Now he's gone, but within I stay, Regrets after regrets, Are drowning me. ... I remember the smiles he caused to be, All the happiness flying through the soul inside of me. But now you'll see it's not only me. I'm glad to have seen, before letting go. Regrets after regrets, Cause' its crystal clear. ... Saving what I have,turns out not fear. I say thank you because it's all your fault. Don't let what's bad blind your eyes, It'll take your love , without your feel. By: Zoulaikha

Don't Let What's Bad Blind You
I am quiet. I am shy. But don’t you dare think for a minute that that means I have no voice. I am short, and I don’t speak unless called on, but don’t you dare think that that means that I am any less of a person. I have a voice, and I will be heard. I was forgotten on the bus because I was too quiet, too small, too shy. I am afraid to look people in the eye, to walk past a male without feeling in danger. I have been shoved, pushed, squished, and squashed! So I am fed up, and trust me, you don’t want to make me mad. I am 14, I am a female, and I have a voice! I have opinions, and you **** well better listen! I will have opinions about my life, and I will have a say in the matter. You can try to put me down, but I’m already short! You wanna know why us short people have such fiery tempers? It’s because we are closer to hell. And we will give it to you too. Don’t you dare tell me that I can’t. I can do anything, and I will do it better than you ever could. I was captain of my baseball team for 5 years. Yes, that’s right boys, I, the quiet, nerdy, small girl bossed your ***** around on the field. My step-father insists I have no voice. Now, as I’ve said before, you know I do. My step-father insists that I am too young, my step-father insists, that I, know nothing. I want to yell, I want to scream out: “YES I DO!” But my mother insists I stay quiet. My mother insists that I should submit to his whims, my mother insists that I must behave for him, to not anger him, DO NOT ANGER THE BEAST! This is what I am taught every day! Don’t you dare make him mad, don’t you dare have opinions, don’t you dare have a say. Because you are a 5’4, 14 year old female, raised by a single mother and a ***** donor. Because you come from the bottom of the heap, so why should you? Because you are bullied, because you are quiet, shy, short, nerdy, and you want to have a voice.

Opal her name was Opal she should have been Aunt Opal but she was just Opal she was bossed around and tossed around by our Aunt Marie we were afraid of her Opal, that is though Marie was no sweet cup of tea afraid just because she looked different though later long after she’d gone remembering her smiling round face and thin slanted eyes I guess we realized but back then, we were kids we didn’t understand we didn’t see her much and they didn’t tell us a thing not who she was not why she was there not even that she was kin to our dad a sister, in fact she didn’t seem really loved didn’t seem cared for that much yet she was so quiet and calm I’d love to go back I’d love the chance to smile and look up to her eyes then I’d take her hand lead her gently around and call her my sweet Aunt Opal!

An Opal Is A Beautiful Gem
Ever think you know know what you want? Then the next day you are startled to find yourself lost. Are the majority of us walking around confused? Lost in a moment only to find the moment's passed. Certainty must be written in the smallest font. We live in search of satisfaction, but at what cost? Striving to be pleased with the small stuff, yet confused. Living in glass boxes hoping the last stone to cast. Who will set me free from these thoughts that haunt? Strange as independent I am that I long to be bossed. Wanting someone to shake me and break me from being confused. Hurry come claim me and please make it fast. April 6, 2012

Miss Schinzer do not undress they said but she did and so they locked her in the side room alone and she heard the key turn in the lock and that was that she heard them walk away along the passage heard the footsteps getting soft and softer then silence the silence of that abbey she went to some years back as a child and the nun with her beady eyes said here one must absorb the silence here silence is our food and drink and she remembered the way the nun empathised the word silence the way her lips moulded the word as if it were brand new and not to be damaged or spoilt but that was then as a child before the voices began before the orders were laid out for her to obey do not undress Miss Schinzer they had said but her voices inside said undress take off garment by garment and as you do so think of Christ and how he was disrobed and hammered to the wood and she did hearing as she undressed the hammer on nails the jacket and then the blouse and then the brassiere and she felt the chill about her ******* how they stiffened she thought waiting to remove more cloth waiting for the voice to say undress more of the clothes and she recalled how Mr Dimpledone had said the same thing but she was a child then a girl in the choir but she didn’t ask why she just undressed and he just stared at her and said what are you doing child? but you said so she said no no he said gruffly be silent unless you want to leave the choir but she didn’t remember him saying that not then but couldn’t be sure and the voices said take off the lower garments and so she removed her skirt the black one the one that made her look like a nun she took it off and then removed her slip and underwear and sat on the floor quite bare remembering the hanging Christ the hands curled like ***** nailed to the cross beam his naked flesh the wounds the blood and she lay down flat and put out her arms forming a cross and her legs tight together one foot touching the other and over in the corner knitting and humming some Schubert her bossed eyed mother.

A mirror is a perception A trick of the mind Try looking in a mirror and saying "I'm ugly" And surely enough that is what you will see Tainted looks and lost expression My nose is too big I have imperfections, including each and every freckle I am bossed around by worldly views Through the eyes of fashion magazines and top model My thoughts pulse and with each pulse my list of imperfections lengthens I've gained too much weight I didn't need that sandwich I need a hair cut And a possible nose job I turn away from the mirror I look at my hands I feel my waist I feel skinny I feel beautiful So what is with these false perceptions? These standards of beauty, only meant for a super human **** the standards **** the fliers, the model pictures **** societies standards of me Because I don't need them. I've got mine.

Where are you to hold me when I need you to? Where are the understanding thoughts others have of my imperfections when I can't help myself either? Why do the horrid memories replay in my hippocampus when I thought I already turned them off? Where is my mania to squash my depression half? Why do I seem helpless and wait forever to succeed in the adult world? Why do I get so intensely excited then become an antagonistic monster? Why did I not know then what I know now? Becoming a victim completely unaware. Proved wrong and I strip to be the bad one so everyone shuts up. Humiliated and hurt and everyone looks out for me. Naive behavior and hunger too strong I steal from others. Tears swelling in front of small children. A girl who wanted nothing but for me to suffer. A boy who wanted nothing but my genitals. A troubled woman who wanted nothing but my time. A guy who wanted nothing but for me to be his ***** A guy who possessed me, Though everyone at some point Did. I've been owned, abused, humiliated, hurt, assaulted, victimized, bullied, made fun of, attempted to **** myself, blown off, screamed at, fought with, admonished, antagonized, used, looked down on, bossed around, yelled at, pushed, shoved, thrown away. Today, I have love that is a beautiful miracle and proof I will be loved without being pushed into what's only for him. I have a few good friends who care and don't grab my hand. I occasionally hate who I'm becoming when the anger within is the kraken in my body swerves herself around me inside slowly and aggressively. Only way she comes out is through profane vulgarity in my words and through my lips. They're gone, They're not mine, They're hurtful, But remember they're only for a moment. I'll be done with the anger one day someday, and the kraken is just a myth. Though my traumatic stories may seem like a myth too, be grateful I'm still here and smiling.:)

you always spoke of a brighter future were you referring to the 9 to 5 jobs? to the apple pie life or the romance lacking relationship with your wife? did you mean the mortgages, the taxes, or the men with grey hair in grey suits? the jobs you do just for the money or the people who speak too much, but are still mute? did you mean the polluted skies or the cursing taxi drivers? did you mean the way when she touches you, you feel no fire? how nothing makes you feel alive but you’re still not really dead? how nothing is wrong but you’re itching to put a bullet through your head? when you said you were working towards a better future did you mean a life of monotony, dullness and boredom? what happened to your love of adventure, of mystery, to your dreams of martyrdom? looking back now, would you take it all back? would you change the way you did things fill in the gaps? or would you continue to oblige to the rules and regulations would you still mindlessly follow the system? would you carry on doing what they tell you? those who bossed you around, would you still be with them? or would you soar and fly ask questions, ask why? would you run in the jungles and climb the highest mountains would you swim in the seas and tell your beloveds that you love them? we only have one life and we’re always waiting for it to change we’re working towards a future to which we have no claim live, live, I beg you to live make mistakes and fall then get back on your feet don’t hesitate, take it all for the future is not ours and the past is too late but we have the present don’t let it go to waste

what fun!
I used to have a voice of my own It used to sing often, but song was not its only channel It laughed, cried, urged, cajoled, conversed, loved, cared, preached, bossed, and obeyed. But my voice got lost in the shadows of my keep I don't know how, but I think I know why I could tell I was losing my voice, could feel it bleed away No longer acting with edge, it first became dull then quieter, then simply gone Along the way, I would ask to talk just to keep my voice alive I would beg to listen, just so my voice could find a partner to stay with I got no voice in return, so soon mine stopped trying too As it got quieter, I would sit in my car and scream at the steering wheel. Surely, the steering wheel had to listen. Alas not. But it didn't matter, because the sound of my own scream proved to me that my voice was not gone yet, still alive inside of me Just the act of screaming was a release for my voice Each day, my voice got ever quieter One day I screamed in the car, and I heard nothing. Gone. After all these years, my voice came back at me. Not from my mouth, an echo from another. Across a chasm I can not reach nor see. Still I hear a voice. Not my voice. But my voice. I hear my voice. It started not as a whisper, but a scream. My voice was screaming at me. I could not hear what it said, but I know it was my voice I still hear it, but it still can't tell me what I need to know So much unsure, uncertain. Will my voice stay with me this time? Will the echos grow closer, and will I cross that chasm? I do not scream in my car now, because I don't need that to proved to me that my voice is not gone yet, still alive inside of me I have other ways now. Healthier ways. Richer ways My voice is coming back. The echos are still here too. I need all of it, and it needs me Again I have a voice of my own, and I have my echo to thank. Someday, there will be no chasm, and the echo will know too.

The Voice
I used to have a voice of my own It used to sing often, but song was not its only channel It laughed, cried, urged, cajoled, conversed, loved, cared, preached, bossed, and obeyed. But my voice got lost in the shadows of my keep I don't know how, but I think I know why I could tell I was losing my voice, could feel it bleed away No longer acting with edge, it first became dull then quieter, then simply gone Along the way, I would ask to talk just to keep my voice alive I would beg to listen, just so my voice could find a partner to stay with I got no voice in return, so soon mine stopped trying too As it got quieter, I would sit in my car and scream at the steering wheel. Surely, the steering wheel had to listen. Alas not. But it didn't matter, because the sound of my own scream proved to me that my voice was not gone yet, still alive inside of me Just the act of screaming was a release for my voice Each day, my voice got ever quieter One day I screamed in the car, and I heard nothing. Gone. After all these years, my voice came back at me. Not from my mouth, an echo from another. Across a chasm I can not reach nor see. Still I hear a voice. Not my voice. But my voice. I hear my voice. It started not as a whisper, but a scream. My voice was screaming at me. I could not hear what it said, but I know it was my voice I still hear it, but it still can't tell me what I need to know So much unsure, uncertain. Will my voice stay with me this time? Will the echos grow closer, and will I cross that chasm? I do not scream in my car now, because I don't need that to proved to me that my voice is not gone yet, still alive inside of me I have other ways now. Healthier ways. Richer ways My voice is coming back. The echos are still here too. I need all of it, and it needs me Again I have a voice of my own, and I have my echo to thank. Someday, there will be no chasm, and the echo will know too.

in the beginning we counted no cost but went rejoicing into the warm rain so now more grimly we face what we've lost so many choices into the mix tossed almost at random it all seemed so plain in the beginning we counted no cost as being worth waiting no text was glossed for hidden messages all was just gain so now more grimly we face what we've lost a world more troubled a future star-crossed no brilliant thoughts emerging from each brain in the beginning we counted no cost instead we are the ones who now are bossed ordered about and marked with a sad stain so now more grimly we face what we've lost knowing that morning will see the first frost that signals a new winter with its pain in the beginning we counted no cost so now more grimly we face what we've lost

counting no cost
~When I was 4 my parents left me in a car in an unfamiliar neighborhood while they attended a party because I had fallen asleep When I awoke I cried and went to a strangers house asking for my mom they called the cops it was my fault. ~When I was 7 I got home after school nobody was home I waited a little bit then called my friend's mom scared, and had them pick me up When my parents got home a little bit later they had been shopping everything was fine it was my fault. ~When I was 9 I began to have night terrors I couldn't sleep I cried and cried my dad tried to understand but there was only so much he could take he made me sleep alone upstairs but I didn't sleep I was afraid and it was my fault. ~When I was 11 I found some friends they were really cool and I wasn't cool enough for them they bossed me around and I bought them ice cream When my best friend told me that Janelle was her best friend not me I cried, I didn't understand and it was my fault. ~When I was thirteen I thought I was in love though I didn't know loves meaning I was fooled and tricked led on and hurt I was pathetic and it was my fault. ~When I was 15 I got over my first love found a boy that was very cute he said he loved me and we made love my first time and many more followed but it was all a lie and mind games began I believed him it was my fault. ~When I was 17 I met a boy whose heart was a diamond who touched every person he met he was loved by all a caring, understanding, trustworthy person something I had never come across I took that amazing beautiful thing the one person that told me it's not your fault and ruined it for myself and it was my fault.

Why do I stop writing when I know I'm going mantally insane Not saying what I want to say Dealing with life everyday If you haven't figure it out now I'm venting my feelings In the only way I know how My poetry is my therapist And my words and thoughts are The things that calm me down Because I'm bossed around on the daily And expected to do the unexpected Feeling so stretched thin Can almost scream because the stress it brings

"I'll probably be in the bathroom before it, throwing up," says my Union representation I'm in her office, seeking her advice And she knows exactly what I'm going through Except for her it was because of another him, not you And now it's you. Now it's both of our plight. You sent me to her because you're "concerned" If I don't play my cards right, from you I'll be burned "If he doesn't know what to do, if he feels cornered he'll get abusive and attack." Says another ally who has my back My union rep feels my pain Why are we on this sick train? Bossed by people with no people skills Do they think they don't need to deal with human beings? Lies about me, you think are truths. Can I shake loose? Or is this just going to turn ugly Take the higher ground, she says Document everything says the other One way or another I feel the crowd closing in Targeted, cases made against me about how I don't fit in Willfully ignore the rules To think I once thought we'd be friends Well, that is at an end. I don't know if I'll survive Now I can barely look at you, barely say "hi" Always at the end, I gather around women we help each other we must defend against the gathering male onslaught people who attack without thought Never a man in sight The knight is a myth, it's right The knight is the one with the weapon And we women must gather together for protection

Evaluation
I want to Hunt. I want to find Prey, and take from it, the way Predators have done since time immemorial. Beasts like me are meant to Hunt, not sit around and play pretend that we're Prey, or are just there to be guard dogs for them against, "bad people". I don't want to be subjugated by Prey animals because of their opinions on how a Beast should act when I am perfectly capable of breaking every bone in the hand they're using to stick their finger in my face. I tire of being bossed about by Prey and by Weak Beasts. I tire of being limited based on fantastical versions of reality in which there are no Predators. What angers me most is that there's enough Weaklings that are willing to defend the Prey that I can't have at any of them without being locked in a cage or killed. By my OWN KIND. Someday soon, when the laws of Men fail, and We the People are forced to fend for themselves...they will remember that the Predators are still there. When the laws of Nature that Prey thought they could hide from come, yet again, into effect- they will remember. And they will wish that they had hidden more carefully.
