"detriment" poems
Distant learning courses in the heart Irrelevant actions have left us all apart Acquisitions decaying those stray minded people It's no longer a commonplace to feel peaceful Simultaneous occurrences have our mind in disarray Through our pasts they begin to replay All these calamitous activities brought through maleficent eyes Disintegrate what's left sending us in a fools paradise We reap to elope from these rigorous bearings we call home Only to find ourselves cast away into the unknown We strive to survive in a world full of abhorrence Being seen transparent just as worthless corpses Those few who prevail are not left without detriment They are forever severed a mental delinquent **Nevertheless our story lives on In this godforsaken marathon** -Joseph B Schneider

Are acceptance and approval synonymous terms? It is important that we give adequate definition to that which blocks our winding garden path, where foxgloves, lupins and a multitude of botanical dreams can blossom into a gorgeous array of ****** captivation. If we embrace that which is repugnant, then possibility may not be confined to the cradling arms of the mistress of death. So, my judgmental and moralistic companion from the sands of Jupiter – if your daughter is a raunchy stripper, then keep your expectations on the leash and preserve your anthropological connectedness, otherwise you may veer into prickly thorns of certain detriment and thereby lose her attachments. It is incumbent upon us to nourish those fragrant plantations with a careful approach, so that beautiful reproductions will abound in a bouquet of resolution.

Floral Psychology
*The rain pours heavy on my windowpanes; it is only through the darkness that I realize what pain truly means. The sorrow, the lack of luster in everyday that has changed and I fear for those who do not yet know what madness life brings. It is nothing yet everything to understand what suffering brings. The state of darkness looming upon wake, and when the dreams of your subconscious mind come to life and haunt you day by day, I fear for those who do not yet know real pain. The loss of someone you love being ripped away, so abruptly; worse than a Band-Aid on fresh wounds, so terribly worse than seeing someone you love fall deeper and deeper into the chasm of their own demons, like a well you’re drowning and eventually succumb to frightening disdain. One realizes that everything in life isn't truly the same, change is the only constant in this delirious world of contradicting facsimiles. You have nothing but hope and faith in this world of detriment. And I hope someday you find what you're truly looking for, whether it be love or the meaning to life. But never forget who you truly are, regardless of the pain and the tears that washed away the innocence of your years and fears. I am truly sorry for what you have endured, but I cannot look back anymore, nor ponder upon those heart wrenching fears you called my own, of which I cannot call my own. You must own them like cheap records, and let them die in the night like the decades of musical loss and dying discords.  You must find yourself in this beautiful world, never give up on everything wonderful. For you are worth much more than words, much more than anything I could ever endure. © 2014 Christina Jackson*

The effects of sleep deprivation on the mind Sometimes depression, Sometimes bliss, Inability to focus Yet the mind rests exactly where it needs to be I wonder if it is better to remain sane and neutral Or insane, suffering the ups and downs of emotional detriment?

Insomnia
A blank space occupies my existence. Sleeping alone again. My hearts thermometer shattered. I've caught a cold the day you left and I haven't gotten better. Loneliness is a detriment to the cardiac. A coffin without its corpse. The hollowness of an empty hearse. Both of us know that funerals don't work this way. We belonged together you said we'd never be alone again you said we would never end you said you promised

Empty space where you were.
I'm told that feeling and love are innate, So why can't I communicate? I'm despairing and longing for human connection, But I'm met with indifference or even rejection. Internally I harbour thoughts of kindness, But they wither in the wake of external blindness, I'm obsessed with truth and authenticity, And this comes at the detriment of anyone knowing me. An extreme fear of misunderstanding remains, Despite me knowing that this is my ball and chain, A depleting hope lingers on in my dreams, So fragile and weak, a mere ember it seems.

The world is too uncertain for us to be sure of anything. Personally I don't think there is an absolute truth. There I said it. Take me away Nietzsche, I'm with you on this one. We are all so different, all so set apart in our unique, frail and wicked mortality. To have one single frame of existence is debilitating. If this difference is so telling of our humanity then why the hell do we have truth? To what purpose? To contain and unite us despite our individuality? Suppose the truth is given this way: A newborn and a goat are expected to survive with just a small patch of grass. Which of the two gets more chance of survival and existential fulfillment? How can that be when those two are apples and oranges? Their circumstances are so opposite. How is life supposed to be fair to the newborn? I am not saying that life is fair because hell it is far from it. But do we accept that unfair principle or make our lives a little better?  Will his happiness be on that grass as well? Of course not. So he looks for new ways to be happy. He has his own truth. To this end, I have questioned everything from my faith, to myself, to people, to science even. Life grows along with time and so are our realities. This is why these past few months I've been contradicting myself to the point of thinking I've gone mad. But the fact is I've grown from these experiences of letting my two polar opposites meet. It is honestly scary when these inner voices start jabbing at you like pointed needles.I am a walking contradiction and my mind is a maze of paradoxes and questions with no answers. Eventually, I got used to this mentally exhausting activity. When something entirely different from what I believe be it an opinion, an idea, or a controversy) speaks up in my face I've learned to accept them not as the truth but as possibilities that could very well be right or wrong. I will never be always right. People are so used to the concept of certainty that we have altogether ignored the existence of possibility. Or the gray area to which simply no one end exists. I realized that we are all predisposed to find answers, to hang on to some sort of explanation to a world so phenomenally ungraspable. It is to the detriment of our open mindedness enough for us to fabricate truths which may very well be coverups for the all too universal fear of the unknown. We are afraid of floating in the ambiguous nature of our lives that we'd rather correct this with assumptions.

JACOB’S LADDER (Written by Susan J. Hunt 09-29-09) I’ve been told I have no coping skills More than a few times. It’s the same old line. Then what the hell am I doing here? I’ve survived up to this time. A big fat zero, the test spits out. Yep, that’s me no coping skills, probably ready to **** I have nothing to help me become my best. Honesty is an asset, but doesn’t appear so from the tests So sometimes, I have to lie. I don’t like to, but I must. Otherwise they’ll t to run at me with a restraining jacket Before I jump out a two-story building and land in the brush. I’m very quick and wily. That’s got to count for something. I break no bones and run away. All are amazed at my escape. That’s what I’ve learned as coping skills. I drink and do other sins, but I would never **** Even to my detriment, I just don’t have that will I’m not crazy. I’m not insane. I just see things differently. I’m not Sybil or Ted Bundy, I just have issues within me The fact is, I see more harm, I carry it inside of me I’m working on my coping skills and my social skills as well. I’m working on them the best I can. So far, it’s gone not so well You couldn’t tell how sick I am as we cross the street and pass. Not that I would harm you, I would offer you my flask. My sensitive nature is on overload I see every misdeed Not that it matters much, I’m too involved with me. There must be a way to crawl out of this pit I need a Jacob’s ladder. May I become more alive and aware Of how I can sincerely, matter.

as the rest move in a herd in time, fixed and onward some remain at a pace of their own slower, wallowing in crevices, an act of conscious apartheid familiar with the shortage of influence, that is, separation. wandering by will vicariously living through a phobia of confusion hence why lost souls remain lost fear of false direction, fear of decision uncertainty amongst hysteria a deadly duo for the few settlement has become still and those lost are familiar with movement 2 steps forward, 12 steps scattered here and there and it's unclear up and down its all around the dance to delusion goes to no sound but illusion. distress within the body whose mind follows curiosity incessant pondering yields a detriment to the thinker, be about your quest and breed your farewell to the blissful life of ignorance that now follows you - is there a solace to be found for these creatures? has the point of no return passed? the distance behind is immeasurable for the path previously paved is dimly lit to decipher the single instance is a feat of all men does the lone wolf recall?

O my sacred, Shower me with your greatness. Bring it up to my neck, And drown me in the lake bed. O how secret, and so delicate, Fear in trust involved. It's not a secret anyways, If nothing's getting solved. I love, I trust, I need you, In fear I live all time. My words in hope to mean them, So that you'll say "You're mine" O my sacred, Take myself and make it yours. This day is nothing to you, Your love fills my empty lake bed. A love, that's secrets tale, One month, forever it lasted. The tale of two, of many, At each other, love was blasted. No one way to say it right, Four ways to say I Love You. Just take me as I am, And know that I'm thinking of you. O my sacred, Unto you I do trust. No lake bed full of: doubt, anger, mistrust, jealousy, regret, pain, hurt, love, hate, lust, health, disease, space, time, pity, indulgence, sorrow, mourning, evil, distress, affliction, trouble, breaks, insignificance, remorse, agony, peril, skeptics, insecurities, uncertainty, question, suspicion, difficulty, dilemma, depression, belief, worry, conviction, cruelty, discredit, hesitation, unhappiness, calamity, travesty, grief, hardship, loss, suffering, weeping, sadness, heartache, lament, excruciation, torture, soreness, discomfort, penalty, torment, torture, harm, malicion, malevolence, prejudice ,detriment, disservice, misfortune, abuse, effort, labor, endeavor, strength, power, energy, operation, mistreat, undermining, blemish, flaw, disservance, misery, injury, exertion, struggle, trial, madness, wrath, rampage, harassment, irritation, exasperation, rage, tantrum, infuriation, mischief, inequality, alienation, aggravation, annoyance, contagion, trauma, damage, insults, violation, wrong, flesh, or **** ...ANYTHING between us, Vanquished because I must!

Regrettably recording these words, I’m not a poet or else this would probably flow, Though I could care less if you don’t want to hear what I have to say Because I’m comforted by a chance to reason the existence of a soul, So I could care less if you don’t need to be told that, I’m human and oh so vulnerable What more can I ask for? Able to feel the consequence of lusting for something more, I’m lucky enough to have escaped the 21st century womb, And avoid the convenience of a couple cuddling with a contraceptive Understanding that I might just get one chance to say, I’ve wanted to make the most of my time Since I’m physically deprived, What more can we ask for? Not sure what will happen when these lids seal eyes that were once bloodshot, I’m so scared of what lies after a life, My molecularly defected design, So I must reconcile with the fact that, My chance to survive without a heart and mind, Depends on how I use this time, As we look for the divine our intelligence derived, Glad to possibly experience the consequence of stepping out of line, So I could care less if you think I’m a detriment to society Since I desire to exist beyond the confines of what can be physically defined, Happy to discover that the divine was not stamped on the penny or the dime I’m now comforted by the consequences of being materialistically maimed, Because I didn't find spirituality through Sunday sips of wine Almost six feet down and comforted by our unknowns, Maybe you’ll remember me if you made sense of this, Because I’ve been counting the days before I’ll realize, If I made the most of my existence

Excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, who the **** are you to say what information the Government gets at the detriment of mankind anyway? Have you forgotten the Bill of Rights? The 'inalienable' rights we all have? Do they even ******* matter? Do they even ******* exist? I guess not. What the **** are they doing pressing this CISPA ******** Unlawful search and seizure of digital information and they don't even care for warrants. Under the guise of National Security you'd have us all put in Camps or killed just like we did to the Japanese all those years ago but we've moved past that... right? Right? I guess not. We just keep it all more secretive now: The people didn't stand for SOPA and surely not for the NDAA so what the **** gives you the idea CISPA will fly, anyway? Maybe if no one heard about it, it would work... Maybe that's what you were counting on. Excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, who the **** are you to say what information the Government gets at the detriment of mankind anyway? **** you, Mr. Politician Man along with your constituents. **** you, Mr. Politician Man and your endorsements. The Fourth Amendment requires due process precluding unjust search and seizure; but where the **** is due process or justice in this proposed search at leisure? You pass new legislation that augments old laws, so much that they don't even need probable cause, but not new rights nor protections for the citizenry, not surprising given your abhorrent deontology: You'd sooner send drones than diplomats. You'd sooner stage attacks than be peaceful. You'd sooner bail out banks than your citizens. You'd sooner pass a law than change your ******* underwear. What the **** gives you an inkling of the notion that a beloved sociopath Politician deserves your ******* devotion if they pull this sort of ethical rescission? Excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, who the **** are you to say what information the Government gets at the detriment of mankind anyway? **** you, Mr. Politician Man along with your constituents. **** you, Mr. Politician Man and your endorsements. **** me, Mr. Politician Man, like you already do behind closed doors. **** me, Mr. Politician Man for ever trusting this accursed system. Well, who the **** are you trusted making legislation, you can't even overcome ******* monetary gravitation. Well, excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, you want the People to become transparent? Well **** you then, Mr. Politician Man we want transparency of Government: I'm sick of not knowing where Tax dollars go, I'm sick of knowing over a quarter goes to the Military which is funny in a deeply ****** up way because I know I may help pay for the drone that might fly overhead and see me and my friends as insurgents and launch an IR missile to blow us to bits, or the bullet that may be sent through my brain as a distant if more probable than ever result of your ******* legislation: And so I say: **** you, Mr. Politician Man, along with your constituents for making this a feasibility; you're supposed to serve the people but you'd rather put the U.S. in a state of futility. So, on behalf of all those you alienate each day, I wish to extend to you a humble and heartfelt Go **** yourself.

They keep throwing things at my face Running away from this toxic place. I plead and ask for a confrontation... Nothing to do but accept this mutation. They've been away now, for far too long Maybe it's me, that they see is wrong. I never deserved this kind of treatment, but it's what they do for their own entertainment. I know I'm human, not a toy nor a pet, but it's all the cruelty and the insults I get; Snickering and bickering at my every detriment Always saying: I'm just a failed experiment. They won't come near me, never again. The terror in their eyes, they'll forever retain Seeing the beast that I've now become The wrath I've held in, I finally succumbed.

The Face in evanescence lain
Bells that chime with malcontent shall toll the sounds of dread. Whistles cry with detriment; the hour of death's ahead. Fields are razed, and valleys hazed; miasma shall ensue. Mountains crumble; end of days rides 'pon the heels of doom. Death has come for everyone; no cornerstone unturned. Putrefy to purify; with blood, your lakes shall churn. Sanctity's naught but a dream; rescind your factions few. It's all for one to come undone, and all shall burn with you. Clouds aflame, for in His name the sky comes thund'ring down. And when this land rests in His hand, He'll take our throne and crown. Tyrant-force with no remorse; from out the sea, He'll rise. He leads His thrall to conquer all, with fire in His eyes. Apocalypse shall head the Styx; the river shall run high. And to the banks, you stand in ranks and heed Lord Charon's cry, "File in, all ye of sin." His cackles crack the trees. *"Thy Earth undone, my kingdom come. Now sunder unto me."*

Crimson fades away into a sensation of touch As silence reigns admissibly Courage stakes a privileged claim insomuch To become known as chivalry Existence of noble-spiritedness speaks of gentle blue Drifting in on courtesy divine Magnificent to behold, never given quite its due Delicious as a fruit Upon a vine Majestic is the profile of chivalrous comportment Daring held within a gentle sign A quietness that speaks to hush the detriment Stirring among the crimson In my mind Crimson fades away, hushed by your presence Upon your gentle blue I feed Your gracious strength completes my essence Silently you consume All crimson shades In me

The day blister as the sun followed 'er. No shade nor a parasol as she goeth an' hope for evanescent heat A basket in 'er hand, one way to marketplace 'Alt! A mad horse kicked thro' Dropped on earth, dirt in 'er sleeves "Gawd o' all horses keep yer eyes open to see!" A fine young man bowed down for repent about his detriment ride. O! Poor little thing! A thorough water in the basket she offered for 'er long little journey. ** The vigor horse galloped an' circle round she. 'twas a good thing an' he proffers honourable  ride. There goes the curtsy 'off in the marketplace' says she. Alt! The creature pause. Where is this? "thy big heart shalt hail for I, present thankfulness. Devoting thy fortune." the prince rendered his throne bounteously. O! Applause how majestic upclose a palace could be. 'tis she wish e'er since. To seek for a lost playmate, hoping for camaraderie. Remembering in that small village where the little prince sneaked. Oh dear! 'Twas he! Aye! The prince hoped the same an' knew all of a sudden. He made 'er his wife! (An' they live happily e'er after. Bow) -A 8/11/14

One Hot Sunny Day--
why does it seem as if everyone has left me? my hands quiver as i verbalize these thoughts and the sweat from my palms dampens the page -- my vulnerability has become difficult to manage, despite my mind's intent to remain good-willed and my heart's discontent with the language misunderstood friendship does not require ideological consistency, and to believe otherwise is a detriment to the love we are fortunate enough to experience in this life; intellectual supremacy equates to the patronizing rhetoric embedded within the elitism of the morally superior -- your grim clouds turn our progressivism dull i will say what i need to retain a friend, but the judgment within is a grudge untouched, a ghastly bruise that never seems to mend -- you do not get to determine the language i speak, the words i weep, or the healing i seek when a bond so potent is forgotten so easily to question my morality is to question my identity, and those who know are the ones to see me grow as i flourish from the bounds of these restrictions and inch my way upright, stronger than before, disallowing my words to be misconstrued, a prohibition of the trauma i continue to elude a Leo is loyal like the lioness of a pride, gnawing at the flesh of the ones who betray -- grudges maintained in the chill of the winter, a midnight breeze toppled an unchanged core -- it is not a star, this dim light retreating above, merely the fading memory of our platonic love.

Platonic love.
Negativity is not always overtly depressive, Positivity is not always overtly happy. Negativity eats away, piece by piece. It hides in the banal. Its disguised by layers of colour, Noise, applause. Negativity is drip fed, unnoticed. The bland The ordinary The acceptable Even the comfortable. Negativity keeps you in your place, Convinces you How good you’ve got it, Fosters no hope, Breeds joy in superficiality. Negativity is not a natural state of mind. No one wants it, yet Its continually perpetuated by those Who are blind to it. Negativity tells you that Positivity is frivolous and childish, Happy-clappy psycho-babble, Is an immense effort, an uphill struggle, A dream, stupid, deluded, unobtainable… Well, it would, wouldn’t it? Its Negative. Negativity sets you unattainable goals, Holds up a false mirror, Tells you that you need to be What you can’t be… But still you ache, drive, strive To get there, Concentrating all energy on it, To the detriment of all else.

Insidious
Every thought I conjour is venomous Specifically hot and pressed 'insensitive' Literally lost in bottled hot headedness Weighty when I slog a verbal cosh with these sentences Hasty without thought at a cost to everybody's detriment An onslaught with no relevance... I wish I'd stopped... If only I'd stopped...

You make more excuses than I ever have. **** you. You think you’re a queen. **** you. I still love you dearly. **** you. Every word you say is distasteful. **** you.

You used to get drunk and say sorry. **** you. Now you get drunk and turn your cheek. **** you. I’m sorry I’ve been such a detriment to our finances and everything else. **** you. I’m sorry I’ve scared you. **** you. Were you even scared? **** you. I believe you were. **** you. Yes, I smoked a cigarette in the house. **** you. And no, I didn’t go upstairs and take your stupid ******* blanket. **** you. Get over it, you **** **** you. I’m sorry for using the C word. **** you. ****** and **** are two words you have shamed me for using. **** you. Keep listening to radiohead, especially the songs on the ******* radio. **** you.

A poem about gravity I know he’s going to break my heart I tell everybody that I know that it’ll come I tell them, to tell myself Maybe I’ll remember Maybe he’ll run Maybe I’ll run Maybe just maybe, there’s a future but I’m afraid to feel that way. Because maybe I feel too hard, maybe I feel too much, maybe I haven’t felt this way in a long time, maybe that’s why I’m terrified. I know it’s going to hurt, he’s already hurt me. My walls are down, I know his are not. I wish I could keep mine up, but oh boy, it’s too late. No relationship is ever certain No love is ever promised No life isn’t confusing as hell. Always “love on me” Never “I love you” Hail, rain, warm nights, street lights, sunrise bedroom kisses, warmth, cold - sometimes so cold, and Pleasure, and so vague, social, no PDA, but then he grabs my hand and we walk together. W T F is this, why do I want it so badly when I know it’s only gonna hurt me. Why did I allow my heart to be open enough to be broken? I’m still trying to put my own pieces back together, I didn’t and don’t need this. But it’s truly everything I want. Him, his black hole of a bed, those windows, those eyes that are **** galaxies. They show so much, I can read them but not all of them, sometimes they shift to a far off world that I have not been invited to. But I want to know what’s going on behind those gorgeous galactic windows to a planet and soul that I will probably never get to visit. Why, when I know, this is going to crush me. Tear me apart in ways I know are coming, Why do I come back and leave my heart on the floor, begging for more. Why can’t I stop falling in love with a dark matter in the Universe? Why does it already hurt but hasn’t even happened yet? I am the light, orbiting the black hole, Knowing full well I’m being ****** in, And to my own detriment, I circle it and am bracing for the inevitable- But I’m also already ****** into his gravity.
