"brainwashes" poems
Some say
Love is a temptress;
Luring prey into its trap,
Set so innocently
So that victims
Walk blindly into it.
Some say
Love is a trickster,
Cunning and deceitful;
That it intoxicates the soul
And hides the truth.
Some say that it
Kidnaps them,
Brainwashes them,
And leaves nothing but pain
And suffering.
I say
Love is the chance
That no one takes,
The dream
That all fear,
The ambition
That no one feels worthy of.
I say
Love is the soul;
So afraid of death
That it never learns to
Live.

It's like right from wrong becomes irrelevant when it comes down to the person you love. You know you're not being treated how u should but you ignore it, due to pure fear of loosing them or simply not having them. I know I should be number 1 but I'm accommodating to less than that because of love? Is it love? Or is it the desire of something forbidden.
This pain is paralyzing.
I need her.
I want her.
If I think about how her arms,
How her body completely held mine I can still feel it.
I can still smell her scent.
I cry. The exact same tears I shed as she held me.
Emotional overwhelment.
difference is, I'm actually alone.
She's not holding me anymore.
She has her own person. So she can survive without me.
I was just a distraction.
Yet she still acts and Perseus and brainwashes me as if I were superior to her number 1.
It's all so messed up, it's all so degrading, and simply wrong,
And I am choosing to ignore it.
Which is also wrong.
But how could I not talk to her? How could I cut her out when she's crawled in so deep.
I need to get her out. And keep her out.
I am not the other woman.
I have my flaws. But my potential is not of thee to be in this position.
So I scream
**** her I don't need her I can do this"
In hopes of one day believing it.
Maybe one day her voice won't make me melt.
Maybe one day this will all just be a memory just as every other person, who has come into my world and left with pieces leaving me with less of myself.
Maybe.

Logic vs Religion
If you're Muslim, some say its ok to **** cause your God will heal,
Even though the logic says in the back of your head,
this man has a family, wife and kids.,
But by then your hands are painted red.
Logic vs Religion
God says,
Love everyone the same.,
Yet if you're gay you get put to shame.
God says,
Don't teach hate.,
Yet we see it everyday and all turn the other way.
Logic vs Religion
Religion brainwashes cause the preacher twists and turns the good mans words.

The terror sunlight brings makes the shadows of the night
Mere church mice.
The beautiful, waking seconds more disconcerting than sun showers
Bathed in certain ambiguity.
The moments engrave their records in our eyes,
Reminding us of our eternal fixation.
The sleight of hand that brainwashes us in favor of long hours of conviction
Instead of the truth in a storyteller’s gorgeous fiction.
The lies our sight sings to us are only digging deeper in the soft earth,
Our graves swallowing us as we breathe and don’t speak.
The dirt of the physical, the mud of the popular and the worms that carry them,
Knitting through my eyes and ears and mouth and nose.
The sweet suffocation of silence will carry me to darkness again
Where the church mice and I can plot our escape.

I'm lower class..
Like K4 in elementary.
The things I write tend to make some people sorta scared of me.
But I don't write for you,
I speak what's on my mind.
Half of you don't see the truth,
yet none of you are blind.
Bravery or common sense is not something I lack,
I can write you novels with both hands behind my back.
In fact now, I assure you,
if given the chance, with these hands, I could do much more than Bush did for Iraq.
So don't believe the lies,
Lift the veil up from your eyes,
The media brainwashes us,
Let's realize and stop it.
Swath it
I'm a poet with no profit,
If I'm insane now, in a decade, I'm a prophet.

Eating you slowly,
you sit and stare into empty space.
You don't realize it,
but everyone walks out of your life
and loneliness walks in.
You embrace it.
You love it.
You can't seem to escape.
It slowly engulfs your bones and soul.
Creeping through your body,
it brainwashes you
and leads you to believe that you
are not worth it.
It greets you every night when everyone is asleep.
You sit in your room and say, "Hello".
"Hello, my dear." it says back.
And you live in isolation.
Seldom feeling happiness.
Dead inside.

I know that trusting me
is hard for you.
Especially because
I bear the characteristics
of so many other women
that broke your heart
Repetitively causing
you to fear love
And when you get
just beneath the surface
You begin to tremble
So hard
That your breath escapes you
So hard that the room turns black
And you lose all sense of
Space and time
And you’re not sure
Whether you are
Dead or alive
Because surely
This is what death feels like
To fear
Death feels like breathing
And to fear
Life feels like death
A never ending hell
That you can not escape
Fear
Holds you down in your pit
And laughs as you frantically
try to escape
But you can’t
Because the walls
Though rugged enough
To create false hope
Are not smooth enough
Those ****** walls
Full of desperation
And claw marks
too smooth
To grip
Leaving you on a
never ending roller coaster
Between hope and defeat
You want to get off
But you’re stuck
And afraid
How long have you been this way?
How long have you been fighting?
How long have you been
Without hope?
Long enough that
when hope presents itself
You get afraid
And run away?
Fear conditions us
It brainwashes us
And teaches us to believe
That we will never
CAN
NEVER
be free
But God
But God and his infinite wisdom
Infinite love.
Infinite peace and power
Reaches for us
Wanting so fiercely
To save us from the strong grip
Of fear
He reaches for us
With tears rolling
Down his beautiful face
Pleading for us
Just to reach back
Just a little bit
Promising us
Power over anything
That causes us to fear
Love that conquers
ALL and NEVER Fails
And peace
That goes beyond
All understanding
Look up!
See His Light
Grab
His
hand
He wants to pour out
Freedom over you
He wants to pour out
Love over you
God longs to
heal
you
All you have to do
Is reach your hand out to Him
And He will rescue you
Fear is defeated
It’s chains are falling off of me
Say it out loud with me
Fear
Is
Defeated
It’s chains
Are falling
Off of me

Theres nothing i can do to convince you that i care....
i wish you were still around so i could prove while your there....
Listening to him only brainwashes you....
theres nothing on heaven on hell that i woouldnt do for you...
I miss laying on the bed and just talking.....
you always had something intrestring to say....
I always thought you seemed older then what age u did say....
But some actions made me think ya ur young born in may.
I wanted to know more about you and tell you my secrets too
I guess that wont ever happen now.....
I just need to get over you.

Procrastination
An evil
That brainwashes
And is designed to ****
It kills
Hopes and dreams
Of children
Everywhere
Our intentions
Put to the side
Never focused on
So why
Do we get so mad
When things
Don't go our way?
We are set up to
FAIL
but what if
We never try?

Hell was quite lovely;
I wish I could return,
but I promised to
never go back,
no matter how much
my heart yearns for
that glorious place.
Oh, how I loves it so,
surrounded by heat
and acceptance with
others who called
it their home.
The devil was quite
a lovely man. His
smile always crooked.
He told me all his
secrets, yet I never
told mine. His heart
was full of compassion
and sympathy for
all, much unlike that
evil man who lives
in the clouds above,
protected from us all.
Hell was my only
home. I never wanted
to leave, but there
comes a time when
the bad brainwashes
the innocent and the
good times must cease.

We all had a fantasies
That we made when we were
In youth aged, we all dreamed
Dreams of becoming or making
We all make mistakes
But we fall off from dreams
But we have to stand up and
Try again;1,000 falls and one lucky one
x2
Close your eyes,open wings
And fallow your dreams till death
Without any brainwashes from others
Don't be someones slave
We all have given a gift
To be someone in life but
We all have all heard that
people won't be themselfes
Life is like game,carousel
We all been there where we were
Take a million choices and choose
Correct one and live that life
x2
Close your eyes,open wings
And make your own road of life
Because you won't be yourself
and You will be someones slave
x4
Be yourself
Be a king and queen
Of your life

a vigilante stepped to me
and said, “i’m on
a terrorist watch list.”
I trusted what he said was true.
i made him up.
he’s in a cult
that brainwashes people
to think for themselves.
he also gave me seeds,
enough to share.

Your pretensions have you doing wrong.
You misleading yourself into opinions and facts that are brainwashing your own thoughts and integrity.
It's interrogating your thoughts and your actions have you proving wrong.
Are you really who you say you are or are you faking the person you show?
It's mind ******* isn't it...
No one is whom they say they are, but who they say they are is just a clone of them trying to be different, not realizing that they they just like everyone else.
The proven truth is that, everyone is like everyone, not everyone is different, and not everyone can try to be.
Everyone that exists lives off other people, influences, brainwashes and media.
Everyone is trying to be someone else and something they are not.
We call ourselves different, imperfect, significant, and unique.
But the truth is that we are all the same and none of us are unique, we are insignificant is this vast universe.
Just admit that we are all regular people trying to be something we are not.
It's not wrong to admit such, it proves that you are just human and we are all on different journeys, the soul however, the same, the canvas is different, same tears, same form...
Arms, legs, fingers, sweat, scars, veins...
We bleed the same and all wear clothes.
It's fine to be like everyone else, it's okay.
We don't have to different, just, indifferent.
And that is the answer, stop admitting your rights, start admitting your wrongs too.
