"disconcerning" poems
I long to be free
A controversy of sorts
Follow my lead
I could use the support
I stand apart
From others like me
It’s hardest to start
I’m sure you’d agree
Alone in the dark
It’s true I can’t see
I’ll give you my heart
It’s true, yes indeed
I veer off course
It’s temporary
It’s hard to endure
Through the controversy
I’ll never give up
I’ll enter my plea
I’ll fill up my cup
And plead insanity
When I’m released
I’ll pretend to foresee
A future that’s bright
But that’s just a theory
There are things in life
That you just can’t unsee
Under the knife
Stuck in purgatory
There’s lies I believe
The time is fleeting
A fool for your love
In 100 degrees
Burning, not yearning
The red of my skin
It’s a little disconcerning
Of what could’ve been

A sack full of bones;
Tryna find a home.
Wandering in a wasteland,
Of coffee and drones.
Searching for answers
To questions unheard
Waiting for the person
Who stands out in the herd
But I've found my someone
I'm no longer searching.
It's my role now,
To help those still lurking.
In the shadows
Where they're hiding their hurting.
To come to a place,
Where hurting is learning.
Because you can't help others
Until you help yourself.
You can't love others,
Till you love yourself.
And you'll never find comfort,
While pretending to have it
Cause the beginning of healing
Is the choice to start feeling.
And I've found my someone
I'm no longer hurting
I've accepted myself
Through the love of another
Cause medicine like demazin
Takes care of all the physical
But loving one other
Is a cure like no other
So don't give up
Your life has meaning
There is more you can see
You can break through the ceiling
You can make a difference
And perhaps in the distance
A beautiful person
Will see that you're worth it
You'll find your someone.
It's a process of learning
And as time goes by
You'll slowly stop yearning
As memories from the past
Become less disconcerning
Cause you'll find your bones
And then you'll be home.

words connected you and i
before any twinkling eye or sutte laugh
before any disconcerning eye or lustward gaze
before any lingering touch or
your words teased
my word tweaked
you words poked
my words followed
yours words distanced
my words with tone
your words attracted
my words with laughter
your words warned
my words invited
your words openly
my words enticed
your words accepted
our words engaged
