"embarassment" poems
We do **** culture in uhmerica. What is uhmerican culture anyway? I'll explain: it's like, irrationalized entitlement, moral decadence on every side of every fence & sick narcissistic pride to be parasitic, a louse ******* the life out of the whole **** planet. Men who have everything still die from depression. Women who call freedom co-decency bold faced oppression. **** first question later. Hermits complaining about the rain when they know **** well they don't even go outside. Everyone lies to everyone lies to everyone lies to everyone lies to everyone.   See? It's a cycle. A spiral. Maybe it'll go quiet into the night, or maybe it'll ignite the whole **** planet. Has anyone else noticed the rise and fall of Napoleon & the Romans?   How every worldwide empire dies?   In a fiery gust of embarassment   that was the special from the start. I've grown numb to the disgust I felt towards everyone else & the fact that they're all kind of beyond helping. Now I'm just waiting for it all to fall apart.

Embarassment
Curtains, an invention made to hide, to protect. Curtains are made to give a sense of security; isolation well-deserved. But Curtains, can be dangerous. Curtains can keep you from the truth, keep you from your life outside your life. Curtains can make you feel stranded and helpless. Curtains can make someone go crazy, crazy enough to take a bottle, keys, and a gun. Curtains will make you drive around for two days, THINKING about your two sons. Curtains will make the hot fat tears roll down your face in embarassment and pain and agony. Curtains, will put that one bullet in the gun, put that gun to your head, and pull. Curtains, will blind, and lie, and **** and tear, and rip, and hurt you, if you let it.

Curtains
✿⊰✲⊱✿ "No, My Lady," Ainhana chuckles. Esshi flushes at Paul's smile. "Okay, you need to stay away from my handmaids from now on!" I point at Paul who looks at me innocently. "Why? I've done nothing wrong!" He says dramatically. "You are just jealous." My eye twitches slightly. "I'll let you keep that delusion." ✿⊰✲⊱✿ I stick my tongue out at him and huff, much to their amusement. Paul chuckles. "Love you too!" He walks up some of the steps, turns and claps, gaining everyone's attention. "Come everyone! Before the feast, we must make our wishes before the Angel's Fountain." He says as he leads the way to the inner courtyard. ✿⊰✲⊱✿ "Keeping us company, Brandon?" "Of course," he chuckles. "After all, we need to shield Esshi from Paul's flirtations before she literally dies of embarassment." "M-my Lord!" Esshi exclaims as me and Ainhana giggle. *'Time for Donna's great and final surprise!'* I beam!

All these whinging intellectual poetic wankers, scribbling Conditional Love "poems"that boringly lament why they are such obvious  failures at the game of life and self realisation. Spewing out weasel words of poetic hypocracy while wrapped in navel gazing infantile emotions. Writing degenerate untruthful words about a love they'll never know or never have known, as if unconditional love can be bought at the local Walmart. Voluntarily assisting the machinations of mind and groupmind, since their birth into a lifetime of Conditioned Identity, in the servitude of the Amerikan Oligarchy . Strings of meaningless associated words, lines of lies about life and love that are ever popular with "poets". Starting with every one of the so-called "holy" books from millennia past--calling for suicide bombers and child killers to strut the world stage spewing  religious racism and sexism like enlightened beings.. After all words have NO SHAME nor have poets.. Sin Verguensa. Words have NO GUILT nor have poets. Words have NO EMBARASSMENT nor have poets. You cannot hide  behind your lies from me. I see you--I have nous. Your beard is transparent. Your unceasing lies deny to others information to which they are entitled, "poets" are the worst LIARS of all, so easily spottable . Read these pages--see for yourself, through my eyes . See the silly shit-fed children of the Amerikan Oligarchy, wrapped in spangles and colours --posturing like super-heroes. Vomiting verbal diahorea in lifes gutters, appealing for just one more chance to play at love and humiliation. People with low IQs and lower morals pretending ,as always, to be mature and human, characters moulded like products of talk show hosts . No integrity. No truthfulness. No honour. No decency. No morals except those learned from Readers Digest. No to these escapees from the gallows of decency, torture instruments dangling round their necks, their prophet validated by being nailed and denied.

He wanted it and he wouldn't leave without it I wouldn't give it and tried to push him away He felt so good in my bed, against me, teasing me I was given an opportunity and I really wanted it My morals are as high as the wall around my soul I have always reacted childish and now in University I chose differently I'm proud of myself for leaving, for telling him no Childish teenage boys who always want one thing will always be mad when they don't get it And now because I stood up for myself I'm punished Forced to see him everyday, now he chooses to hang out with my friends Crossing paths is unavoidable Shame and embarassment marr my face and wreck my heart But why am I embarassed? Why am I shamed? I can't answer that question Would it have been worse if I just gave in? Yes, I would feel better but my self respect and the respect that others give to me would be diminshed I'd feel like a ***** a lousy one night stand Not the way to give up my first Instead, I sit here trying to convince myself I was strong But all I feel is weak I want people to like me and to think I'm a fun person Is giving it up to every boy who wants it really necessary to do so? I just want to be there for everyone, be their friends, be a nice person So, that's what I will do with everyone including him Everyone has their issues, as I'm most definitely sure he does I won't let anything happen ever again between us But I'll be there because I won't hold it against him And I most certainly won't hold it against me

"These are just too him," she said And put her father's boots Aside for me. A size too big, but just my style. Cried silently inside; she'd shed tears Enough by now. I thanked her in a whisper. - "How did your doctor's go?" she says.   I look down at my new Boots; "not well." "Too thick or thin?" she asks, the Blood in question ringing in my Ears in blushed embarassment. "Too thin," I say, knowing too well What whisky does to anyone's. She kindly mothers me in whispers. "I thank each day your life was saved By surgeons and Warfarin. But Just for me -look how it went With him whose boots You're wearing."

Inverted Embarassment
he was a smile in the crowd inbetween the pale faces and angry hair. ushering me between the antiques. he swept me through drumming beats. he kept by my side. he laughed with me. he shared my humour. why is it, that this stranger, could see that I am worth spending time with. how is it, that he could take the time, to show me something new. and yet, the man i a married, the man who i share a life with, tells me that i am not likeable. tells me i have an attitude. tells me i dont care. tells me i am an embarassment. could i be such a dismal spot of filth? that i can be of such little worth to the world. through technology, i can see his face. and his smile, makes me want to go to him. i feel a need to be enveloped by arms. arms that doesnt judge, or expect, or remember. i want to speak my heart, and not be admonished for it. i want to share my dreams, and not have them trampled. the light i once thought was my soul, has been kicked under dust, because it was deemed too bright. and now i watch the world go by.

We all fear going to jail, the fear of being finger printed, the fear of losing your freedom, the fear of embarassment. We feel uneasy about sitting in a cell with no TV just walls and no music to keep you sane. We are fearful of spending a long time in there if we make a huge mistake or if we just ****** up by doing something stupid. Jail a place of fear that makes you scared.

Fear of jail
Today I wore pink And all through the hours I felt wide - expansive, Like a Sahara of embarassment, The blush of recycled shame. The color made me think of you, And how you purred over the shade When she inked it into her hair, A blonde head turned to bubblegum filth; How you smiled and fell in love With everything but me. You used to carry sweet words In the pocket of your cheeks, ******* them like peppermints, Tumbling them like a dryer Until your teeth turned red And then your tongue went sour And your mouth grew mad, Spitting sparks and catching my skin on fire. She wasted you, with her cotton candy highlights And that incessant, stupid need to be free. She wasted you, and made you new For everyone but me. My mind is a carousel, and my thoughts are Bumbling to catch one another, Waltzing and reeling in spirals, And dizzying the dance with canned lullabyes. The girl at the bookstore has a smile That's all teeth and pink gums. She's pink, if pink were living, And she's following me like a lost silhouette. He asks me if I'm okay and I Nod my head and feed him excuses. He doesn't spit them up; its easy. Truth is, I'm a whirlwind, A pink whirlwind, and the color makes my stomach knot. The muscles in my chest are whining, And going stiff with self-disgust. I'm starting to think I'm only happy When I'm torturing myself with you.

angel hair knotted in this sailor-apostle's fist seafoam scurvy in turbid oceans of a mouth that smokes cannabis-infused bible pages and exhales exhumed passages unearthed eons ago i'm an embarassment, i swear i wasn't gay but i awoke at mid-afternoon with no clothes on and next to you and your unbridled skin molesting me with cancer sins and chirruping horoscopes i'm bird-brained to tell that my knuckle bruises and my spine's claw marks were from last night

I know each one of us has a moment in our lives, a moment when we make regrets. Like, *"Why the hell did I do that?" "What was I thinking?"* And later we abuse ourselves with punishment good enough to repay for what happened.

Cringing in embarassment
To Bailey, I know you as a baby blue in the way you were just a boy, but loved me more than any man could. I thank you for giving me high standards of men, but now I am disappointed with everyone who doesn't love me as much as you. To Sean, I know you as a navy blue, which is the starting color of a mood ring, you are always changing and each time getting more mysterious. I thank for teaching me a basic crush and helping me learn it is okay to just be friends. You were the first guy I was infactuated in. To Austin, I know you as brown, your life was ***** and so were your grades, I was your maid. You were more like a project and you treated me like the way you treated grades; a joke. Thank you because I've blocked out everything good about you and can now only see your hand gliding across my face, from you I learned how to forgive without revenege. To Parks. I know you as a traffic cone orange, simply saying WARNING: I AM TOXIC. You were an outcast around me, but attempted to be someone you weren't around others. I don't thank you for anything, you scarred me and I haven't been the same since you got what you wanted and told everyone I was lesbian when I realized you weren't what I wanted. To Jack, I know you as a cloudy, soft gray, you aren't always sad, but you're not exactly happy either. You taught me it was okay to be out of the norm and doing that won't crush my mom. I thank you for realizing that love doesn't have to come out of the good times. The bad parts sometimes give you the best people. To Chandler, I know you as silver liquid, it took you no time to fill my veins and make me feel wanted. Thank you for teaching me that if a guy is as smooth as you, he doesn't really want me. You gave me my first high school embarassment. Cause of you, everyone calls me when they need a fix. To Nate, I know you as a dark green, your opinion on me floated around like wind through the trees. You wanted me life to be over and tried everything you could to ruin it. Thank you for teaching me it is okay to be talked about because now you come over everyday and ask for me back. To Jonah, I know you as a midnight black, the color I see when I look at memories. I threw you away, just like you threw away my effort. Your kind aren't made for girls like me, thank you for informing me.

i guess i'm done with apologies- what good did they ever do? it's time i leapt before i looked, in order to move despite fear rooting me in this swamp. yeah, i've been festering here in this basement. apologies if the shrieking pestered you. i was merely releasing stuck energy- in this agony, i seem so rude. now that i've molted, i've no time to speak of my callow mistakes: i can only swear silently to make up for them and for the time i've wasted. let's face it, i'm nameless and my teens have passed me, but i've not missed my opportunity. i'll prove it to you with this hopeful departure from the cliff. i am no man or woman, not like you. i am woven of memory and birdflesh. my hollow bones surely will grant me the gift of flight if i try my hardest. if i leave you bereft, my second-best solution was to disappear, so there's that- if i do not succeed, at least my failure will spare me the embarassment. yeah, **** saying sorry, cause nothing ever came of it. i could've said ten times more with my deeds- if i'd had the strength. i guess we all could've tried a little harder than we did. please just let me go now. i'll call if i've made it. if not, well, **** saying sorry- cause i've had it. yeah, we all say things we really mean, then sober up and forget to be honest. i know you would've come if you'd remembered making the promise. i won't say a word, no, i won't call you on it. even though it's nowhere close to fair, we tried our hardest- i swear we did what we could- so **** it. i'm sick of being apologetic.

when i want to build a wall. i take the stone, formed by, anger or hurt from my gullet. wash it, so it's dark facets shine. then place it, in the footings, of my insecurity. find another and repeat til they form a line. using as my mortar, pain, embarassment and indignation in equal parts. mixed with tears and bile. and then, i begin again buttering bricks and offsetting, them. i want, no need, my wall to be strong. tho i never build, my walls too high three or four courses, never, no more. i want to be able to, step over them and be free i have seen those and watch them still, thoese who, built a high, formidable wall, a fortress, it does become, with them, still locked, imprisoned inside. so i learnt to build, walls strong, but squat so i can, when ready, emerge. righteous and graceful. but this is my folly, the flaw, in my scheme. my walls, they run ***** nilly, everywhere. and over them i trip **** over beam.. so now... i must find a school to teach me the art and give me the tools, of how to deconstruct a wall. with out the haphazard use of a wrecking ball.

feeling
we've been in a hot persuit with sorrow, tempted death with playful beckons, not fearing of tomorrow, as we instigated war between angels and demons, then compared pumpkins with melons, the art of a dedicated farmer, who only begged for his seeds to grow, day in day out during summer, we scampered at the beach then ended in the dhow, the consquence of a missing skill, then some of us wept under the moonlight, with brokenhearts that never heal, i remember i was hounded by a fright, as i read the 4th line of this poem, something beyond my physical potential, a performance you cant even mime, then politics, business and anything commercial, a mere embarassment, traders were mean, and just to rest the case, 2013 is over, we have mobilized better schemes for 2014, we are the movers and shakers.

2013 Chronicles
i. There are imaginations that are made of rust, and they tend to rest on clothes lines and spoil the rotting canary of mediocre dress. Walk with me, because my pebbles cannot settle against the dim of my breast pockets, and so weary the sun tells me to strike upon sweat laden cobblestone tears that chastise who? You? Says he who comes stifled at my feet, like an outlet man staring at fruits' chambers, her wealthy, red string the last of his eyes! Alas, what sure vagrant would kiss my fingers? Is dignity the sour aroma of embarassment? But let him come, when she turns her apple cheeks to pray to the same head and God above. ii. The favorite jest of an arrow is to pierce a leg while he jauntily catches the brow of his family. The man will never saunter, nor amble in patterns that reveals the flesh of a throbbing vein. A young calf grows like the bluff of puffed cheeks, and soon another, too-- together. His trousers will widen their stomachs; his head the curious stew of bubbling concoction that rise and decide not to evaporate in the air. And someday, perhaps very soon, the fairest of them all will chance and gaze into gallant eyes, but brought down when he lowers the unidentified color of glass. So be it. His coins can jangle and fly to Shantou, to Charleroi, circle around the perimeter back to Sacramento. Ships move, yet the infant steps of lead grow dim in development. iii. They say the wealthy family cannot last for more than two generations. They say a heart cannot last its beating against another's, if it be true. iv. Once, a man licked his fingers without even touching it.

What does it feel like? My little sister asked Fourteen Beautiful The innocent smile Of a still naive child Who’s never felt anything more Than sweaty palms In a big echoing gym Forced to dance with an Awkward eighth grade boy For phys ed credit And embarassment What does love feel like? Love is the awkward silences The first time you hang out And neither of you knowing what to say Love is being best friends Love is racing down back roads at night Windows down Music blaring Slamming on the horn And flashing headlights And raising hell Love is pulling an all nighter To spend one last night together Even though you have to work At 5 am Love is drinking Yoohoo together Love is sending stupid videos And care packages Because his laughter Is your favorite song Love is his huge smile He only shows you After you tell one of your jokes That no one else Thinks are funny Love is hugs And smiles And texts And sniped photos And late night phone calls And life advice Love is the tears And the trust And not wanting to be With anyone else Love is being impatient Wanting to see him again Before he even leaves And love is knowing Every time you’re staring at brake lights That you’re too perfect to pass up Probably So I turn to my sister Nineteen Pretty The watery smile Of someone too young To have been through so much Who’s never known anything Close to the perfection I seek Only liars and cheaters Who’ve left me broken And empty And I tell her Love is

What love feels like
There is no embarassment when you have a baby. This is the wisdom given to the teen dad on the bus He practices his Arnold accent And ever so gently shakes the baby He holds it like a bomb The stranger shakes a pooh bear like she has the mitus touch But where crying babies hush at her touch I half hope the baby gets louder
