"discourages" poems
tiny elves in my backyard on my stoop - “PLEASE SIR, MAY WE HAVE SOME SOUP?” running out from between blades of grass, they shouted in unison with a burly crass: “YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, IT'S A TUESDAY NIGHT,” “AND TUESDAYS ARE SPECIAL IN ELVEN LIFE!” “sorry sir, soup is not for elves; mommy said!” “DON'T LISTEN TO THAT OLD BAT, IT'S LATE AND SHE'S IN BED… ...WE COME TO YOU IN NEED OF NOURISHMENT!” “but, I’m just a kid and mommy discourages it!” i said in my biggest voice, for the 900th time as they threw up their arms, like I’d committed a crime! running around in a mass, they ran back, with such sass, through the leaves in a big hurry - on a hunt for soup they scurried...

I. Apply foundation in a tone more perfect than the one you're born with, doubt that there's anything beautiful in the term "natural" blot your lips with the cherries you deprive yourself of and wonder, "What good is difference when it's not appreciated?" stop reading this. II. Forget how you were born; every freckle, every beauty mark, every uneven line etched into your face are nothing to be celebrated. Deprecate yourself, you are unwound and beg this world to shape you in its eyes. skip this line. Society speaks subjectively of happiness, but fill your head with lies that we're all pretty if we can keep up our disguise. The weight of this world upon your shoulders, alludes to being big as too much to handle. Curl into everyone's palm as if you're so fragile, they have to pinch the skin on your bones with the thumb and index finger. stop. III. Draw on the perfectly plump pout, filled with nothing but expectations of everyone else. Your beauty is not a privilege for anyone, but judgment that has defined your worth. skip. Emprises that market upon your insecurities, admire that solemn face in the mirror as the reflection discourages you at the acknowledgement of any impurities Start. How To Be Beautiful Lifelong Admire the history that lives within the heartlines of your palms, how strong you've grown, once cradled in your mother's arms. Disregard where it is you've come from, but how much further you've journeyed forward. I. Apply the sincerity in your best friend's voice when                         she calls the time you've spent together, beautiful. Do not doubt the splendor that comes from wisdom. II. Every wrinkle you've earned, as time gives back to you from lessons learned. Blot your lips during the release of laughter as saliva mists through the air, your joy so vigorous the ghosts residing in the graves regret no more. You are as you should be, a composite of everything that gives you life and grants you purpose. Begging for this world to love you, there is no fault in this desire. They speak of happiness as if it's only a potential-oriented concept, Do not let your heart surround the gossip or it's golden armor become bronzed. III. Draw on the canvas of existence in the brightest of hues, in the purest of love. Filled with nothing, but expecations for yourself say farewell to the darkness open the curtains to light. Your beauty is magnificent as your name will be transcendent. In each day we decide to be ourselves, the poise presents itself. —V.H.

Anyone who does not aid you to be the Character you are only helps to water you down- to sell you out to their world. Moreover, anyone who discourages you from being your Character isn't worthy of your attention; they are an enemy of your creative potential, that is to say that they are destructive to the you that would be; the you that could be- perhaps should be. **Be a Freak. Break social rules. Defy expectations. Play the Fool** and own it, too, *lest the Fool own you.* What has the Fool taught you? Have you been willing to learn? Have you the capacity to teach? Wouldst thou follow Hermes, or Loki? Mercury? Thoth? Or would they follow you? ***We need more Characters. Fear not Card #0.***

tired of hearing "potential" in reference to me cause i only hear it when i'm being squeezed into a box by those who think they know whats best for me its a wonder i haven't gone ****** from all the pressure writer, lawyer, realtor, travel agent, hair dresser i don't know yet, i don't know! yes i do want better but how am i supposed to plan a career when i can't see as far as my hand in front of me i love everything! how am i supposed to pick one passion? is my passion divided among a hundred interests lesser in value than someones passion focused on one point? i can't help but think so. and it discourages me even more and its not just a career, job, and school pulled in all different direction i'm everybodys fool i have to be a different me for just about every person i see selecting aspects of my personality to fit the scene its not fake its not phony. its reality. i have friends in all circles, family in a whole separate ring i can't share all the aspects of me or i'd spend my time defending my thoughts, beliefs, and interests. i am so tolerant, why can't people afford me the same luxury? the worst thing is the fake smile and polite subject change whenever a parent of a friend asks what i've been up to when i can SEE it in their eyes, they are all thinking the same that i've thrown my life away, that i'm not a good influence anymore. nevermind that they've known me for years, that i've set dinner tables with them, celebrated birthdays, and survived puberty alongside their kid, my best friends. all they can see is another college-dropout who is going nowhere fast i lied... the worst thing. what hurts most is that they are right i AM going nowhere fast and it kills me everyday. and its more salt right in the wound that i know my parents have the same conversations when they run into neighbors, friends, family, and the "how are the kids" comes up how did a 3.7 G.P.A. and a 1410 S.A.T. turn into a 20 year old with a P.O. and a record. i know they love me all the same but i can't help but feel ashamed i know they wanted, i know they expected... better i've been decorating the same mistakes in different frames so i can pretend they're not the same but who's the fool when its you fooling you and me hurting me by playing fast and loose with common sense

My Progenitor along my Father, She loves me as if She'll take care, Of me and my needs today & forever. My Mother is an inspiration for me, She has tasted success after toiling for it, Harder in nights than in days totally. My studies were Her priority in my school days, She is no different in these different college days, Never does She let her mind divert Her gaze. My language skills, I inherited from Herself, She taught me Hindi, English & Kannada, I learnt and honed the Sanskrit by myself. My German & French are elementary, but, She never discourages me or calls my efforts, To learn them both, with passing time, rudimentary. My health has been Her top priority, She ignored Her own & there was a difficulty, Her knees gave away and needed to be replaced. My Father loves me too but my Mother is special, She left Her beloved Karnataka to marry my father, Now She looks after my Father as I am alright. I am lucky, very lucky indeed, that I have them, She is a living legend married to Another, This poem is more about Her and a bit about my caring father too. My Mother taught me how to speak, How to speak and how to live, not just once, But along my Father, she taught it all twice. My Mother, along my Father, defines God, Probably this is the case with everybody, But few realise it when Death makes a **** I have seen her weeping for me when I was unwell, Now it's my obligatory duty apart from a natural one, Her I shall make proud along with my father, not just once but always.

One day you are born. You don't know anything. You adapt and adjust to the world and learn more and more. Your parents are, more likely than not, ****** They don't exactly know why they gave birth to you, but they know they're supposed to love you now. Your childhood years are formidable and promising. You show talent in sports, music, and mathematics. You go to junior high and get pimples and a ****** drive. You kiss a girl at a Violent Femmes concert at the Del Mar race track when you're thirteen. She's kinda fat and slutty, but oh well. You try really hard to not be included in anything at your high school. You do a lot of drugs. Anything will do, xanax, ******* **** ****** ecstasy, morphine, ****** beer, it's all the same to you. You get arrested for some dumb **** your parents help you. You stop doing drugs. You get really into music again. You start a band. You start writing a lot. Your writing is cliche and dry at first. This discourages you. You can't stop for some reason though. After writing hundreds of pages of ******** you write a line that is utterly magnificent. You go to work at a job that barely pays you, you come home. You dream. The money goes round. Your aspirations swivel about in a drunken stupor behind your frontal lobe. You dream. You wake. You eat, **** and sleep. The money goes round. You eat, you wish you had someone to **** then you sleep again. You keep writing and playing music though. You get really, really good. But the lash goes on.

An Island on a Brink of collapse, Leakages on our national budgetry, Cronysm and Inept speeches seizes Powerful seats. Our national oil Reserves Guzzled down by twit Politicians women Aspiring for change by Denying their Husband Conjugal Rights. Millions of unemployed youths run Amok causing a Frenzie country-wide, Anarchy spells Doom across the country. State of Internal security is a vital sign for the Failure of our current Governments. Reforms of national cohesion and a new constitution seems like a Fantasy to many Africans. Our cumbersome Judiciary procedures discourages Investors, so goes the Plea of Desolate souls in Africa.........

STATE OF AFFAIR.....!!!
His lips pull into a wretched smile That used to make me follow suit But as it forms around hurtful words I know that, in truth, He was always ugly And I was just entertainment He'd never see me equally And I'd never be able to make him He mocks all I can't change And discourages all that I do And I've not enough self-confidence To counter the words he threw How did I miss how hideous This child of a boy could be? As now, he's set the standard Of my definition of ugly

I try not to tell you how I feel No one should determine your choices but you Farther from honesty I become Lies aren’t told, but my thoughts aren’t portrayed Unless you can dig them out of me Every thought you have discourages you No truth I could tell would save you from that ‘Cause the truth is, if you go Everything would be hard for me, and you’d only feel worse

Influence
Is that because you have not experienced it, Or due to the reason that you hear only bad about it, Rotting & offensive stench of death discourages you, yes it does. You would call me a mad man if I said that I've tried dying once, But yes, definitely I've tried it once by getting my bike, My helmet-protected head collided onto road. It was because of the mishap I passed into a long sleep from it, Or you may prefer to use the more appropriate word for it- coma, Testing my limits & my loved ones for their love that I turned poetic. Personality changes occur after a great emotional or physical upheaval, So did to me, definitely was less bent towards this art form, My people think I'm not me but someone primeval. You & anyone who claims the otherwise to be true can confuse it to be bad, With extremest pain for the self & the family of the one who dies, But it's not their only confusion & not their only fear. What we fear isn't just death, It's the addictions controlling you & me, Addiction of family, vices & oxygen made me win!

Why Are You Afraid Of The Unseen?
Lost in assumptions and conclusions Living amongst influences and illusions How easy it is to lose my sense of self While drowning in other's expectations That often discourages original creations I consider just being like everyone else But to go down a path already made Starves me of the adventure that I crave And an undaunted outlook I have not yet felt I am a palette among paintings Still in the process of creating A new colour to call myself

CONGRATULATIONS, MILLIONTH VISITOR!
I don't understand what I want. I feel like I'm cutting through a layer of thick metal, enduring the sound of scraping steel scratch from surface to centre and I'm not getting through—through to you. I talked about him today. Embraced his disappearance in my memory and seemed to watch him walk away all over again. I was washed with emotion and serene understanding of some in depth sentiment that I only found intact with him. And it just ******* ***** because I acknowledge my surroundings— they're printed and plastered all over in bright reds and yellows making room for summertime without the sadness— yet some void remains sat square in the middle; Some lost hope, unable to make sense of what exactly belongs there. And I'm cutting through layers of other peoples' minds to see if their context can create art with my emotions. But it's nothing but dull. It's all surface and no substance, which discourages the complexity of my being and causes the wind from the outdoor tempest to reach the ends of my eyelashes and the edges of my clenched teeth. What I'm trying to say is, maybe I'm expecting too much from you. I'm imagining mansions and kaleidoscope chemistry with sparks sputtering out of my mouth in the form of stutters and laughs that keep me breathless. But instead, I'm getting dying embers, that come from the scorching coal path of my memories burning beneath my feet. I'm expecting too much, but I can't risk expecting nothing at all for someone who can't even make my fingertips tingle or cause my heart to race. Especially because I know the feeling of awe; especially because I've felt it all before. gd

It only takes words to form a sentence It requires only thought to disect it the importance of a theory sometimes staggers because lazy people like me, are too down to test it How many ways can we avoid waking up until we can't open our eyes for anything how many times will i dream a dream that discourages me until I've figured out how to disregard it

You told me, told me that This was never the answer This was never a choice It wasn't a choice But when the dark comes to life And you're nowhere to be seen The world stops for a moment And my heart skips a beat Just one motion The blood will drip The tears will fall You'd say that I'd want to do it more The thoughts run through my mind Wonder makes its way to my brain But there's that one feeling That helps to take away the pain Just one motion The blood will drip The tears will fall You'd say that I'd want to do it more But that constant feeling One that I am thankful for Discourages me It discourages me Just one motion The blood will drip The tears will fall You'd say that I'd want to do it more But that emotion Helps me through it all That emotion Makes me put it down It makes me put it down.

One Motion
I go back in time When I look at a picture And feel as I did even clearer. Look at how happy But shaking with fear. Let's flip pages to now, to here. The happenings behind his eyes Are in the open and real, In his actions, words--so surreal. He's teaching me to drop my worries, To embrace all valid emotions. His logic completely discourages confusion. "Can I love again?" Yes, in fact, stronger than before. It's spiritual, humbling--I'm unconditionally adored. He's fearless and giddy, Can't see my reservations. He blindly removes them, my liberation.

My Liberation
Human beings..... In a race to change The very definition of humanity, Only to get baptized in insanity. Politicians..... Rhapsody of the Parliaments and Government, To bring a system of popularity, Full of hate and inequality. Bureaucrats.... Mobilize the art of duality, Impress the subordinates with cruelty, Pave a way to ambiguity, Media..... Refines the art of deception Brainwashing the public view, Discourages insightful review. Intellectuals.... Racing the horses of wishes Full of illogical ideals, Manipulates as treasure steals. Teachers... Busy projecting arcane results, Doubtful about own native cultures, Relishing the limelight like vultures. Administrators..... Passionate to be remembered, Names on streets and buildings, Boards and Committee starlings. Social works.... Administer the theoretical concepts, Bridge the recognised social rifts, Actuality is subjugation and wanton theft. ©Perveiz Ali

Ruminations
I can't get you out of my head. And no that's not a means to an end. Its the start of a braceful beginning. Or an irrotational sense of my state of mind which is questionable around this time. 3:52 and I'm still thinking of you. If love is defined as constantly admiring anothers lyfe and worrying about their well being then why can't I call my feeling for you love? Is it because you won't let me? It seems the closer I strive the further I get pushed away. It's like swimming to shore feeling you're almost there only to notice the waves swept you to a perilous trench, Coated in black ink. But no matter how many times I'm swept away by that tidal wave it never discourages me. Because only I see that beautiful weeping mermaid alone on her glistening island of black ink. Just let me wash it off. And together we'll live in your treasure. And darling we might not be pirates But we might be peasants. And I may not bare any sort of sensational fruit. But I bare presents. In the form of my love. The strongest communication I can join your communion of common relation. And together we'll strive for that feeling of common knowledge and shared intentions. Common strife and shared dimensions. Because we may not be peasants for much longer. We've been plungering and sailing this ship of love long enough. That I'm sure we're pirates with greedy ambitions. And tedious repetition of unknown religions. And one day we'll be rich off of this boat we've made from out love. And one day we can stop sailing and settle down. But until that day. Our love is yet to be found. So let's stop waiting around, And set sail.

I hope you go where you wanted to go and find the peace and freedom you seek. . . The mind is meek. . . One speaks, . . so that all can conceive. . . . These are rough times where the paradox be. . . the separate-self finds others who are separate and share in that so called “wealth”. . . . Not you. . . . Not I. . . I remember the times. . and yet we are content alone. . . He and she had no archetype they just play the role of one when their vibrations were low. . . . He saw her like no other, . . . .

i might have thorns spikes spines quills barbs splinters but i have them for the reason i have them is to protect my heart is very dear to me she keeps me alive and so i try to return the favor sometimes i may do so too well and in a way that prevents hinders stops adverts thwarts discourages anyone from picking me might be the worst decision you could make me do things i’d never even dreamed of being someone’s first choice but those pesky thorns spikes spines quills barbs splinters they do a **** good job to make sure i don’t get ruined by someone who’d be afraid of my thorns

I see them in reflections - the orange juice glass at breakfast or my iPhone where they can pop-up, like notifications - I keep my phone face down. They usually want to tell you something - how it was for them - their history. I discount these emotional messages - they come with the jester's assumption that I care - that I need the performance and will get involved. “What are you doing?” My mom asks, as I’m taking all the shiny, mirror-like ornaments off the Christmas tree. “The glare gives me a headache” I say, without stopping. “Your Grandma does that too”, she says, wiping her hands on a Santa-themed dishtowel. “Really?” I say, but I know that, and I know why. I started having nightmares, when I was in first grade. My mom thought I had an overactive imagination but when she described it to my grandma, she soon showed up for a visit. Over the next few weeks my Grandma told me about our “gift”. About how we were both born on the same day, under a waning third moon, in Autumn. That we're both “Yins,” doxies (sweethearts) of the dead and that we could, at times, see and hear people who were between stops on their way to their afterlives. That’s why the dead parachute into my unused moments from reflective surfaces. They can be anxious or in despair - when their deaths were cruel or sudden - but I'm barely an adult - I'm in school - what can I do?? The presence of water discourages them - which is perfect - can you imagine seeing spirits in the reflections of your bath? EEUUUWWW!   You’ll hardly ever see me without a water bottle or polarized sunglasses - which seem to break up the images. I'll not be smothered in other people's afterlives.

I know I will get through this alive somehow I know my heart will still beat It is almost too inevitable to bear Stuck in place, can't move my feet. How can I stop destiny when broken? Fix something that can't be repaired? We can go upwards from where we are From rock bottom towards cleaner air. Lacking strength to fly with broken wings Rain and thunder remembered from yesterday This is how I am pressed to face fears Shards embedded, eventually I'll be ok. May take awhile to feel intact Threads tearing one by one No longer perform efficiently Discourages until I come undone You saved your heart from misery I learned and now my own I hide It's much easier to be broken from the beginning Then there's nothing left to shatter inside.
