"creatively" poems
Trying to find solace in the suburbs when everything seemed superb like that cookie-cutter, picket fence, faux fur mentality they instill at the start Just an infant with scars He reached for her baby bump, Then slammed it hard onto the stairwell She fell, wept, and held That lil princess and prayed she'd never have the same hell All grown up. Alive and well shes got different demons different intricate cells It's been said she is special      she is awake But, in many ways She is the same As that ANGEL who carried her 23 years ago That's debt I'll always owe A gift I'll never own Carefully Constructed and Creatively Sewn shoved a soul into that shell That'll one day guide her back home Shes got her mamas tough, yet gentle heart her smile, brevity and love for art.. she can write her *** off like her the wrote and the writ Yet she's plagued by guilt every ******* minute GUILT for the life that she'd been given GUILT  for each exhale emitted She prays that God will have the sense to go back in time and hit OMIT (on all chapters even close to the word 'human' there's GUILT for feeling guilty even more for despising your own ) "I must've slipped through the gate, admit it! Or recruit another for your mission regretfully, I must solicit that I'm not fit for this position I'm no hero I'm the villain If ya look close you'll see I spit venom" Mama walks in smiles and says "WE. ARE. WOMEN!" "Betta recognize and quit your bitchin' as of today, you are living.. You are loved You are safe You are ************* winning WARRIOR, CREATOR, QUEEN, GODDESS, INCARNATE.. We are strength & We are the faith never to be broken but we still stay brave The Legend wont start or end with you Its a fight stretched out through  time You will understand soon No matter how much you ask "WHY" It wont stop circumstance wont stop lies wont stop suffering and will NEVER compromise Your in the way of the wave, child This.....  the secret to life When in the way of the wave... its only a matter of time S0 if youre searching for solace Will you promise To memorize this line

Crazy
(To my sisters and brother) I will always miss … Our sunset ending quarrels Our never-ending teases Christmas’ shared carols Warm hugs Through sweet gazes The sarcastic smiling faces The growing-up races Revenge taking chases Greed over goodies to be hidden In unpredictable places And I will always miss … Competitions and crazy bets Singing hilarious duets Of made-up songs in the shower This innocence Of our childish humor Screamed from a room to another That art of tricking eachother To cleverly stay in control Or wrestling over the remote control And I will always miss … Decades of shared history Amplified joy and divided misery Bursts of laughter on old tapes Creatively imagined games Of whirlpools in drapes And goalkeeper leaps Random costume parties Daily role-play stories Sega sagas from dusk to dawn Alliances and conspiracies Sisters, my lovely sisters Wise, you have become Loving wives, caring mothers Soon, you will become Make sure your kids relive What we used to live Their uncle will make you proud Just like you fill him with pride Brother, dear brother I secretly looked up to you As I grew older I kept resembling you It doesn’t matter If you’re a little far Brotherhood’s a matter Of unbreakable bond And I will always admire, respect, love and cherish … Every single one of you

Innate Blessings
Her skin looks pale, White shedding brown, like a golden brown velvet strewn across a skeleton made from Cleopatra’s frame. There is nothing to it, her sway is flawless in her stilettos, O’ God those stilettos. She pave the roads with blossoms of Primrose and Calla Lilies, as the tip of her heels stab the earth. Her body melts cotton candies in winter, her curve bakes pastries in snowy mountains, It was an unbelievable sight, like a sunrise, she climbs the edges of the highest of peaks, like the wind, she enters a heart by the creaks; like a creep. Perhaps nothing shall stop her, Her footsteps continue to pierce the soil, making a sound close to the cracking of my knuckles. She made people snivel and weep when she enters the room with her slender black dress. She makes heads turn almost to their full circle, it would be death to steal a peek, or glance, a peep. She is the sun on earth: hot and highly radiated but too tempting to be left alone. She is like the still waters: calm, clean and serene but too quiet to know the depth; and still willingly jump in. It is like believing again. She is like believing again. She is tiny as is her name, It shall rhyme as the bell shines, Her hair, her coiled twisted hair, is much like herself: curled, twisted bended. Yet she is, perhaps, the twist in life, the curl of wind on her bosoms, or the bend of spines when eyes turn to gaze at her splendor. It is uncertain what she is, but I know, vaguely. She, like a Zinnia, shall be the decoration of this planet. She shall be, though exaggerated, the reason for our existence. She, corrupted and dangerous, shall reclaim her spot in divinity and shall forever more be my source of inspiration. Like a stream of clear water, gushing down the torrent ovately, ornately, creatively, purposefully… She shall see herself, breathe herself and know that only she is the one she could deliberately fall… …or fail. The black sand shall be her dress, the grey rocks shall be her stilettos, that clear water be her conscience as she takes on the world. With her cursive eye shadows she will see the funny side of life; she will see it thoroughly. She, regardless, will persist and resist the failure of herself, with the moist creek on her seductive lips. She is seduction. She is temptation.

I abuse words verbally like my voice is Bobby and the dictionary Whitney/ Like a literary hyperbole properly arranged to explain this deranged brutality perfectly/ Force the English language to work for me like a particularly dark time in history/ Optimistically take the tongue twister trickery and aggressively attack a vocabulary vocally and personally/ Not physically but a barrage on your psyche, almost psychedelically/ Use words medically, like a surgeon I expertly plant thoughts whispered softly but assertively/ Moving letters like chess pawns to express thoughts masterfully and creatively/ Gruesomely grotesque but gorgeous thoughts written down beautifully/ You can't help but hear the perplexity of mythoticly placed words with comradery/ An oddity with the audacity to raise the bar and up the capacity/ Because what comes out of me has to be exactly what you see because it is me/                 Not just a part of me but all of me/ I'm not a fallen tree sitting in the forest silently, quietly all by my lonely/ It's just the opposite actually and factually/ I will attack with a dialect so violent you violently retract causing you to react cowardly automatically/ I don't even have to lift a pinky, leave it stinky/ Let my words linger there in the air like **** smoke, thick and sticky/   Periodically come back to peek and see if you've figured out the mystery and found the key/ One that'll decipher decisively what it is that I've let out of me and spread to all humanity/ I could never have planned it, see, it had to happen naturally, organically if you will/ And not to build it up falsely but I honestly, back then, didn't have the ***** to let it out of me and it cost me considerably/ So now this mastery I hold of word delivery bestowed to me gets jotted down feverishly/ With an intensity equal to none inside of this ******* century, can't censor me/ Got a consistency that forces me to constantly cross the border of insanity repeatedly/ Time only to watch my talents as they literally wither away for all of eternity/ Such a tragedy to see such agony but please, no apology brought on by sympathy/ Just let me be as I drift farther out to sea to a place you'll never see/ To let these words mold me into someone you could never be/ ©2018

My mind is expanding, But these grades are demanding. Though my ways stand out My GPA is not outstanding. What good is knowledge, If you can’t prove it on paper? I WANT TO SEE THE WORLD!!! But getting good grades is safer. So I must be productive, My right to dream has been abducted, I once considered reflective struggles constructive, But marginal quotas interrupt it I’m feeling inspired, My drive is now fired! Oh but I can’t attend to that now.. Because I can’t study when I’m tired. So I put it off, Dreams are lost, Robot mode on, in a society of full of scholarly knock-offs. "Serendipity does not exist," "You’re choosing to fail if you’re choosing to live," "Why live creatively if you can puff, click or sip?" I’m in an abusive relationship with my To-Do list Don’t lose track, Don’t look back, Because time is money And honey, society will tell you how you spend it. If you just let it.

The Anti-Hustle
Mother Earth May this skin I'm in always remind me of the air and what's underneath my feet. I am one with the soil and wind that blows the blades of grass on the ground and branches on the trees. Keep me planted, with wisdom and understanding I pray that I can always speak creatively of my experiences in life, from the he(art) of poetry. Always learning from the trials of what my actions in this universe brings, and never ever forgetting to express my love organically. Father sky Renew my heart, cleanse my spirit and keep open my eyes. Lead me more to thee, as I fall at your feet I pray that you free me from all lies. Break these chains of doubt so that I may gain my wings and fly, rising to a higher vibration, continuing to expand my mind.

The question, within its very core nature .. almost solely hinges around our own deeply hidden, internal self-betrayal: In the creatively-covered up alliances we make.. In order to prop up, the parts of us that refuse to respond in any growing, self-sacrificing way, that would lead to the true growth of change. And so.. within our own, internally/externally-manufactured, form of consent, comes a smile-washed, deep contempt for anything, and everything that would (or could) expose Just how deeply we have sold ourselves out through the ultra-fine art, of alliance. And like a lamb to the slaughter are those who choose to unknowingly (or with agenda-based blinders) Love, defend, and support those who use such an alliance to prop themselves up, from falling over. But the Universe.. within its deep ache for us-- It never stops asking of us the Primal question We can respond through the suffering of the self (leading to true growth and change) Or make alliance with Death as a way of short-cutting the answer. #

Yesterday was the day you were born, some 30 years ago, right? And today was the day we celebrated! I am tightly wound into my own life; that I even had to mention it in YOUR poem. That aside I'm sorry to say I didn't know yesterday was your day. Maybe this would of made it your way one day earlier, or maybe I would of shrugged it off like my older self. But to be honest that's not what I want to do. I want to let you know that I know that you deserved to be noticed. That the day and you did not go by like the wind. That when the words floated by my ear that yesterday was your day. I decided I must do something! And I'm sorry to say, but like a homeless man all I have is a little sign and some words to display. I'll creatively explain and show that you are an important part in the world, my world. Doing this will hopefully let you know the significance of yourself to me. I may be the person you have always fought with. I may be the person you have screamed the most at. I may be the person you are the most upset with. You may be the person that I feel awkward around. You may be the person I don't know what to say to. You may be the person that I under-appreciate. but mom I love you.

Yesterday was Your Birthday
My horoscope told me that I should think creatively today. It told me that I should write and so here I am, attempting to write a poem. Little does my horoscope know that my mind is unable to function. "Write something clever! You will create something great!" My horoscope instructs me but unfortunately that task is easier said than done, but I try because I want to fit in. All the cool kids are doing it. However, nothing but loud noises come out and the writing police come to get things under control. My brain has been arrested for causing a public disturbance. Writers block has taken over. It is a cell block in my mind where all of my creative ideas have been cuffed, thrown into a corner, and forced to *** with rusted metal bars offering no privacy. It's humiliating. As I sit in my little jail cell I think about what I've done and how I could never come back here again. "Next time," my brain tells me, "Don't listen to your horoscope."

Inordinately Exclusive
Creatively wit, artistically gifted - politically inclined to design any archetype of freedom and how a woman should hold her head up high, like the almighty God she is. Able to disfigure the illusions and misconception that the media and other forms of capitalistic control, teach her fellow sisters and Queen. Prove to them that not only are they more than this 'sex symbol', And being blind to this facts, just helps perpetuate the conditioning of self-hate, that you're not light enough or too dark - you're just something that helps the sun shine on their fare skin. And you're ****** is worth nothing more than it was compensated fo' 450 years ago, to birth being that yet again go through the cycle of supremacy. But you say, **** ALL THAT - I'm a Queen, GOD IS SHE. So kiss my fat *** and my appletree. Because me and my sisters sill no longer accept your misogynistic disrespect and immoral, emotional neglect. Your referendums for ****** favors in exchange what is due me, ****** freedom and freedom to do whatever the **** I please. And ever since I saw those defining characteristics in thee, Since, I've always respected you as my Queen.

I periodically Perpetuate hurricanes all around me manifesting my illusions filled with anomalies commonly I’m far from Common as these evil forces completely surround me crashing down to rock-bottom longing to no longer be lonesome but my loneliness is caused by my compulsions such impulsive behavior needs to get out of me, expulsion creatively i creep to seem casual and sane To a world that’s corrupt and crippled needing a cane ****** and staring into the eyes of the truth but with all this proof we can’t find who is to blame to some mentally my mind it is unglued broken into bits from so much abuse daily I’m terrified of torture I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose I’m black and blue Just one giant bruise Beaten and brought down to my knees Reluctant to beg. I scream out please No more In my tears I’m drowning A moment of silence as You Playfully tease But the kid with the magnifier Doesn’t hear the ants screams Only burns and burns Until their is nothing left But the shell of a man Who’s life is a mess

What is originality anymore? The pop songs we listen to day in day out, That are only updated remixes of Songs that our parents Already know every lyric to.
 Is it the pranks we play on each other at school, Poking holes in the top of water bottles, So we don’t get caught when we try to catch our class mates. Drowning them In carbonated energy drinks. Don’t think you’ll get away with it. The teachers already know, About flicking elastic bands at the backs of girls knees, So they scream a little louder And turn around to see Boys smirking faces, Because they have been there before.
 Define originality.
 Originality . /əˌrɪdʒɪˈnalɪti/ noun 1. the ability to think independently and creatively.
 •the quality of being novel or unusual
 synonyms: inventiveness, creativeness, creativity, innovativeness, innovation, novelty, freshness, newness, imagination, break with tradition, resourcefulness, cleverness, daring, individuality, unusualness, unprecedentedness, uniqueness, distinctiveness
. Is it smuggling ***** in water bottles, Or sneaking down to the back garden To have one last cigarette with your friends, At 1am On New Years When you have had more to drink than your parents Yet you are only 15. Watering down whiskey from your parents liqueur cabinet With apple juice. 
Getting caught drunk After being out with friends, Stumbling in at 2am On Sunday morning.
 Storming up to your room After having a row with your parents. Slamming the door, Screaming at the floor, Calling a friend, And ******** about the people who brought you into this world.
 Maybe I’m not as good with words Than I thought I was

It’s simply amazing what phrases pop into one’s head and stick - and as they stay there they develop, and as they develop the inner life takes over and what started out a superficial bit of twaddle turns into poetry of some substance, proving anything can become anything with a little bit of reflection. I Am A Housewife I am a housewife. Organize and deputize, Buy and cook, See that everything’s delicious, Making dishes at my best, Matching wish of man and guest. Preserving and conserving, I economize, Hunting down the clever buys So there’s savings at year’s end. Mix and blend creatively, And when I shop I stop and hesitate; contemplate And seldom buy on impulse. That said, I occasionally fall and do. But mostly, shopping for our food’s A yoga. So’s the Washing, cooking, dusting…more; The most and best health giving chore: Hands cleaner in the water, Waistline smaller, reaching up and for… No breadwinner, But a winner baking bread. Cakes and cookies all included. For, of course, the friends and husband Whom I feed, Try to supply each need Not because it is ‘the done thing’ But because it is the fun thing. Then there’s me. Filled with creativity. Actually, a private soul With my own needs to feel whole. I do not underplay the housewife role As many in society Who downplay tractability and duty. For to me it stands for beauty, Not for slavery. I am a being who serves house, Deserves the house, My house! Our house! No mouse by any means But combination heroine And superstar, Dishing out the wonder Of existence With insistence and persistence For a comfy coexistence Dishing out the dishes And a family’s wishes.

An Explanation More lines written in my face than an old women. More lyrical notes than an instrument of your choice, I'm dancing inside to the sound of your voice . Each word and phrase creatively counted, Carefully picked up and placed, Lights shining between each elegant phrase. These words flowing from head to mouth, Much harder than to paper. Thoughts are lost in revisions and vapor. I lose my heart and my voice, With silly fears I've lost my choice. Now I've come here with these words to say, But all my metaphors got in the way. So I'll say the words that will woo, a small phrase that I can say, I love you.

An Explanation
I’m creatively uninspired and I’m socially deprived I barely exist beyond my thoughts and if I don’t exist within society It is as if I’m already dead

Art is good medication so you'll deal with this creatively. You've careened into this so make the wreck, the chaos bloom on a page. It might even help. You're going to be a comic book artist because in the face of such things words fail and lips falter,  and you want to knock your head comedically. You want to conjure silly star-loops for smashing into this feeling. Knocked-out. Reeling. Draw, draw out and ink in your malady. Crash! The worst is when your heart is the caricature. A full-page feature, a splash, of high-strung colours begging to be neatened. Splash! Your cartoon heart. An image of a fat, crimson apple like a clip-art pic, got a little worm poking through it. Eating, eating away to leave a love or loss-sized hole. Fat white bubbles announcing hurt! so graphically. Go on and draw it more lurid. If the feeling is here, you might as well feel it. Let the slops of gaudy red and green bleed and bleed out of the panel. Stain it, stain the gutter where time happens. At least it gives the comic a heartbreaking! twist. And then you turn the page.

Splash!
She gazes down on a daily sea, Of expectant lesson hungry faces, The teacher uses a carrot not a stick, To prove these cast-off kids stomachs, Will love them when they cook creatively. Vogue-like poet on the catwalk of life, She sees life in little things each day. Weekend dates in the big smoke, Will blue suit and red shoes work, With him again, again tonight?
