"fuckboys" poems
Cause it’s all just paper in the end, Were all just stuck here playing pretend. Some of us acting like we god, While other have never even heard of a ****** iPod. We pray to that god at the end of the day, And then curse his name if things don’t go our way. We’re corrupted and ****** up, dishin’ out blame, Wishing for superman, left with some ******* named... Who gives a **** with his name if they’re all just fuckboys , Woman pick yourself up you’re repressed by the man, part of his ploy! And were all stuck here playing pretend, Might as well make you name a story for the end.

They call me Dr.Strange because I don't thrive from the same ambition as the rest of my generation I don't desire to **** every **** thing that walks and breathes I was never a fan of getting high and skipping school Hell the worse I've done is beat a ngga's *** for making a girl bleed Yeah I'm so ******* hood, badass if you would   A permant resident of wish a ***** woods Where we specialize in the art of whoop *** But at the same time I am kind As gentle as a cotton ball I will protect those who cannot protect themselves Instead of being that coward who is left asking what if But don't get my kindness twisted thinking you can trample all over my tiny self Stomping me into the ******* ground as if I'm some type seed But if you still have the urge to try me get this image in your head I will make sure my weeded foot travels up your *** and out  of your mouth I will not be afraid to rain down the scorching sensation of the hurt all over your flesh and bones Causing you to sprout like a god **** bean stock as I just smile walking the opposite way It is sad ****** these days try so hard to pretend to be all bad-ass, talking so much **** I don't know whether to give them tissue or breath mint Then what makes it even funnier they beat on these young girls thinking it makes them look tough But in actuality it makes them look that much more of a ******* to society **** is this really what male *** have come down to A mere nuisance to society A nation of fuckboys and male hoes Is that what we are really aiming for sigh wow I wonder what I'll have for dinner tonight

They told me to take things back to the 90's Take things back to the heart Told me I should have done this from the start. But the views from my six are contoured. Covered in foundations of fuckboys, fuckgirls and blessers. So tell me how do I express my heart when this generation believes the only functioning ***** should be brain, Because heart will **** you And the others are going to die from harmful ingestions. They told me to take it back to the 90's. Take things back to the heart. So here I go. The basis of my poetry has always been pain. My heart and soul always confining in a dark pit of abyss. My body constricted in a corner Huddled up, popping everything it could. Now the basis of this story isn't about you saving me, But how you gave me your hand, shoulder, smile and wisdom to the path of saving. Of how you opened your chest, tore out your ribcage and gave me your broken heart as you took mine. Of how you taught me pain is inevitable but suffering is optional Of how you showed me true love. And how grateful I am. In twenty four hours the heart beats 115200 times. At least fifty percent of the time my heart skips a beat. This means from 57600 beats and above are skipped. A week consists of seven days In hours that's approximately 168. As like the first at least fifty percent is lost in thought of you Which means 84hrs and above I think about you. An average of all 12 months is approximately 140 days. Okay skip the math, let's get straight to the conclusion. Math is a fine art of illusion. Filled with various abstract to distract you. But the rule is you will always find your x. The x that completes your equation. So what I am saying is that you complete my equation of life You're my X. Literature teaches us to express our feelings in terms of literal devices. From anecdotes, personification to lititoes. It tells us to sing with our hearts, Speak with our souls and allow our voices to do it all. Like Christina Rossetti, "My heart is like a singing bird" "For my love has come to me" Look truth is you give me butterflies. You make my heart swell up in happiness. You make me feel alive. You make me stutter out of nervousness. You make me want to impress you. To always put a smile on that beautiful face. You make me want to hear your laugh every single second. You make me happy Which makes me want to make you happy. Because pain is a feeling we all get to experience But happiness is rare and I want you to feel it. What I am trying to say is I'm taking it back to the 90's To the early 2000's To tell you, you're one in a million That I'm stuck on you And that I am madly in love with you.

I know what caught your eye Curved hips, dark hair and small dainty eyes Aren't my eyes really something You've probably never seen them though Too busy looking at my chest I love the way you call me baby Sounds so sweet in your voice The same voice you use on those 20 other girls That's right I know We all do, you're not really that clever Well even if you're stupid at least you're cute That silly smile of yours And muscles for days They really make up for the absolute lack of personality But hey, at least you're a **** empty husk of a man It's so sweet you're always willing to talk Staying up late on the phone Just get's tiresome with you always asking for nudes I wish someone had taught you basic English Maybe then you'd understand the word no

PSA: Fuckboys
Goin down Drowning out the sting Salt water leaks Burns like holy water Not just from the cuts in my skin In my spit My eyes Kept the straight jackets to make my masks ****** stitches, most favored gloss Demonize pill popping even though it keeps the ******* behind the gates Those ******* taste horrible with ***** Instead of getting **** faced to forget the artificial praise Just throw em to the sea Make sure it's the dead Sleeping with the fishes and the girl I used to be Better yet I’ll jump in hoping this is just a dream Either its me dying in now or waking from vivid nothingness But will it even be my own bed His bed Her bed What the **** are these stains Option 3: choking on thread and barfing up empty stomachs and swallowing my pride Playing with fuckboys like a rejected barbie doll, a hallow head growing rhino horns One hell of a drug One hell of a ***** Pitchforks not hot enough to boil off plastic flesh Next thing to bleach are the eyes Can’t stand her disappointed eyes My eyes Hellbent ***** Reflecting vanity in broken glass What the point for a window with no soul Divine Frankiestien That's monster I’ve become No The monster they made me to be

fuckboys
Dear Battery, Enough of your Flattery! You power mere toys, You are only used by little fuckboys. But a Lock is a dads tool! If you disagree you are a fool. You do not understand Dad jokes even! You are just a Un-dank Bush wannabe named Steven. You are best to be leavin' Steven! Because The 9 Volts are aimin', To Give you a taste of their dankness, You best run far and run fast! Because their going to Shrek you, Back to the Holocaust.

i have always been frightened of people. after mom left, it was angry white women that scared me their dead eyes staring while their mouths worked furiously - i couldn't even watch an actress scream on t.v. without my mother slipping in under her hairline. i am still scared of angry white women. but now i am scared of men, too. anyone who believes themselves privileged to be near me to breathe my air and look at my body and demand that i give them attention they too frighten me. and i no longer allow them near. i will let you talk, because that is what you do. i will allow you to look, because i cannot stop you. i will allow you small pieces of myself because i no longer feel anything but i will never ever feel anything for you. and if you get in too deep if you like me too much if you begin to love me i will cut you off and feel nothing. because moose was right i don't deserve him no one deserves him and the ugly, dripping animal that sleeps in his disarming chest no one deserves to lose everything for the mere excuse "i just can't control myself around you." you can. and you should have. keep your poison out of my mouth, and out of my veins.

white women and fuckboys
She was the definition of my name She was the flowers that bloomed from the wounds that she healed She was and always will be the ink that flowed from my pen when i wrote about her laughter that made me feel warm inside. She saw right through me She saw the mistakes i made the mistakes that i used to tuck into bed with me and she bought me a brand new bed a brand new start I could then say that i knew exactly what love looked like love called me at midnight to make sure she was the first person to tell me happy birthday love knew my favorite flavor ice cream love knew what to say when i was crying love knew how to make me smile again love was there for all the fuckboys and drama love knew me for me love,loved me and i loved her.

Love loved me and i loved her
i pay you back for your lack of attention with well aimed selfies at other men snapchat carrying them faithfully across the pixelated airways no evidence for you to find. in the end, i resent everyone i love for every opportunity that i stayed silent about what i really wanted i resent them for my own flaws. my quietness, my need to please. i make myself a dog, and they pet my ego just enough to keep me from leaving. the curse of a fat stomach, arms, thighs, attributes of a fat *** they can keep me in my place because i do not believe i am deserving i've been taught that well, but instagram makes me brave. there are other girls like me i stand on the foundation of the horror and humiliation they endure in the hope of a better future less fuckboys less degradation more equality for my fat *** how much longer will i believe i have to put up with less than what i deserve because i am lucky someone wants to **** me at all? i don't think it will be long. decades of socialization taught me to beg for every scrap from a table laid for girls much thinner than i but the tables are turning resetting rearranging the playing field is changing fat is okay fat is pretty fat is normal fat is just like anyone else i just want to be treated like everyone else.

I'm not going to be your second choice While you sleep around with other boys oh no no I'm tired of waiting and the wishful thinking While I'm all alone, And you're out I'm (dropped) finally starting to head back home. Heading back fast on these back roads. I used to want you dear, to hold me closer oh. But now we're losing grasp as you sleep around some more. I'm not a back up plan for you, a second choice Nobody's number two When these {other} boys leave don't come back chasing after me, I didn't leave you bruised Oh cause' I'm not a second choice like these fuckboys you're running to Can't you see what you've done to me. You never considered these lies and la-ate nights, waited on you I'm driving home so far gone don't dare to Ring my phone because I'm so **** gone oh And when you're alone with no where to go don't come back to me because you had the chance already to be treated happily. But it's too late you made your choice enjoy going back to these fuckboys

Choose me or lose me
I’m sick of fuckboys saying they’re messed up themselves so they always mess up themselves while messing with myself. Hold your hands out while I lay down the most vulnerable parts of me. The parts I keep like presents labeled “do not open until this date”. Like an excited child you rip open the wrapping paper like finger nails across my skin and I get a taste of the pain you’re about to give to me. Next, you tear open the box. This box! that contains the most vulnerable parts of me. I feel my heart ripping open. The cracking of the cardboard mimics the cracking of my ribs over my pounding heart. You look down into my vulnerable parts as I hold my breath. “Wow...thanks….you shouldn’t have” You speak the truth about one thing. I shouldn’t have. You look around and say “I forgot to get you anything” I think “it’s the thought that counts” but the problem is counting your thoughts only takes one hand. One hand that I use to take my box back until I can lay it down in front of someone that looks down, smiles and says “I got you the same thing” 8/18/2016 Amanda Powell

Do Not Open Until This Date
As the world dissolves into the vanity, the speech is slurred and he can't really pay attention. His eyes can't cease to get a mention,birds twitter coz his voice sounds better when day ends. I really can't say when, but since then he's been trapped..inside his mind he lives in the Garden of Weeden. Trapped trapped trapped inside the walls of his subconscious mind, the garden of weeden, his nirvana, safe haven. Smoke inhaled, never exhaling, hold on tight, fingers clenched until the burning sensation makes him pay attention, I am saved, the garden of weeden, my nirvana. Nirvana took my bravado, I know I got what fuckboys don't. When vaporised my words make them choke, loss of their greatest hopes for what's dope. Freedom stays cloaked in corrogated iron sheets,in a deep sleep induced by so-called "sweet dreams",but he astrals through this dimension. Dimentia came and so did Fester, their brains can't seem to process the controversial words. But he does, coz he's just on the highest peak of consciousness. At his highest peak of consciousness, his kundalini risen, chakra's in alignment, he saw it all, the lies, the truth every ******* thing so clear to him, overwhelming to say the least, cathartic, he became catharsis.

Your arms wrap around my body almost as though they were meant for each other But listen, listen to the sounds of the stars and the hum of the crickets and the echo when I tell you this isn't something I want to run into I don't want to feel so empty, but the feeling of nothing in me has become so pleasing Hence why I've stopped eating Hence why I've stopped dreaming Hence why I've stopped believing and I love the smell of your cologne on the inside of my shirt and I feel so much pride when you do something right, but I have a reputation for falling for fuckboys and I have a reputation for breaking their hearts as much as they've broken mine

Can I call you? At 2 am I can only talk for an hour... Cause at 3 am, They say it's the demons hour... And boo I don't wanna turn on you And go off on you, Forgive me if I do it to you, Your not the struggle that I've been through.... So lil baby can I ask you this? Can I not be a love that your gonna ignore and miss? Can you not carry the traits of these fuckboys I've been dismissed.... I didn't curve you, When I probably could've..   I didn't curve you, Don't make me feel like I should've.... Can you call me ? Make love to me with your voice, Sing to me , Like Boys ll Men or Dru Hill, Back in the 90s? Can you feel me ? A chemistry similar like Jada & Will, but imma need us to curve mfs, and be ready to **** Those who hurt us.... Can you be for me ? Like a baby without its binky? Can you be the one to cry for me baby? But man up because I'm the lady? Can you love me for life? I'm not trynna rush anything, I just be thinking of things.... Your love could be the best thing... Can you be for me? I don't wanna have anymore games... Not another chess piece.... Not another missing puzzle piece.... Maybe what I'm trynna say is... *Darling can you really love me ?*

Intervention...?
Beware the snakes beneath your feet Beware the guys who are lonely and nice. Beware the ones who lie with smiles And look at you with hidden lust Listen to the voice in your head, The one screaming "Beware!" As soon as you turn your back the viper will be there He is always lurking, nipping at your heals Making you think your safe while waiting to strike He will put candy in your drink or let you doom yourself You've given me no reason to doubt, yet I find myself wanting to escape. This feeling in my gut, I head it's urgent warnings Stay with the crowd, don't let him get too close. What is going through your head? What do you really think? What goes through your mind when you look at me? You say let's have a drink. You scared me, so I reacted. I hurt you, as witnessed by the angry red on your skin. It was all fun and games, at least at the time. And it makes me sick to think That you liked it when I did that When I showed you my strength Beware the cunning snake, they are the most unpredictable At least fuckboys know their jerks, You know what their after. What you see is what you get, It's almost honest in a sense. Looking back I see it, All the little signs. Good thing I stayed clear Good thing I drew the line It is obsessive, Your emotions towards me. You would hurt me if you thought it best You would tell me not to cry Whispering delusional I love you' s I am always looking for you Expecting to see you watching Cause I am afraid of the beast I unleashed When I gave you nothing I saw it in your eyes very briefly, The anger and coldness. The reason to keep my distance. I'm glad I broke your heart So I'm not put in unwanted positions You tell me your sick I question your words. If its pity your after, If your trying to make me stay, Well I'm sorry to tell you, But this stops today You're drowning And I won't let you pull me down too, So I block you on snapchat, on Facebook, and Insta. I delete your number and the voicemails you left, Because the relief I feel lets me know That I made the right choice by letting you go.

When I was a kid...I was innocent Believing everything was just perfect, Or if it wasn't perfect, it would work out when the time called for it However, when I grew up that innocent mind died Shot at point blank range right in the eye Causing me realize that society was ****** up  from the inside Crying tears that was made up of this substance that leaked from other bloodlines Now I sit here wondering how did I miss this as a child Was I that naive that I believed everything was made up of sunshine and rainbows Completely ignoring all these ugly *** fuckboys and ***** hoes Now I'm just soaked in my own rage and regret Failing to determine if I'm just getting angrier or if society is getting stupider So I just scream at the top of my lungs screams Falling through the ground still pondering as to what happened here No seriously, someone please tell me what happened here

Fuckboys
i'm trying hard to believe in love but i held my sister while she fell apart in my arms because her lover of eight months suddenly told her that he didn't love her anymore, and i'm not sure how many times i can stitch her back up before the cuts are too deep to be sewn. i'm trying hard to believe in love but my best friend has had her heart broken too many times to count, feeble-minded fuckboys or temperamental tantrums because she didn't love them back and they decided to cut all ties. never once did she get an apology. i'm trying hard to believe in love but every single one of my past flirtationships have ended in loss one way or another, him or me-- it doesn't matter how because i'm still alone. i'm trying hard to believe in love but in a world like this, it's hard to hold onto something so fleeting.

i'm trying.
# I'm a closet hopeless romantic hiding my heart away under the facade of having a block of ice in its place; an empath in an apath's clothing.   I can pick out the fuckboys from a mile away, hands tied behind my back and blindfolded.   I don't want your meaningless physical touch.   Why settle for something less when I can just do the job better myself?   What I crave is that connection.   The kind you feel upon first locking eyes, where your soul and their soul interacts, and something just clicks.   When two people share that soul connection, it's not just ******* it's a whole beautiful experience. And though it's only been a few moments since I had something like this, to my soul, it feels like a millennia

poetry fuckboys exist solely in the notes folder on my laptop and are only enigmatic because i make them so; dressed in beautiful metaphors, skipping to the measured cadences in my voice, they are a lot more colourful really, though, my poetry fuckboys are nothing like the real ones who touch you because they’re bored and leave grey marks on your skin and probably i only write them the way i do because it makes my ugly skin seem ethereal, etched with history rather than scratched by years of carelessness poetry lovers aren’t really real either, at least for me; more than anything, they are characters that i fall in love with because they are made of love songs i listen to and the illusion that i am capable of love; fiction based on lovers whose smiles, really, fall flat and move nothing in my heart there is nothing real, or subconscious about the way my fingers ache for no one in particular, and attach themselves to those closest to me boys who sometimes smile at me, girls that seem to exist only to laugh full belly laughs and there are elements in my poems that are perhaps true and visible if you knew who i wrote about but this is not even remotely real, living between pages of poetry taking comfort in their warmth and no matter how dressed up poetry is i am not talented enough to pass a fake as anything remotely genuine; even poetry fuckboys and poetry lovers, to whom i desperately show my poetry to prove i’m real, realise i get stale pretty fast, and eventually stop reading my poems.

Life is a challenge, you lose your way for a minute, I promise minutes later you’ll forever resent it Her emotions in charge of what to post and not to post but either way we’ll give it a like or a heart Because we’ll never turn our back on her because she was faithful to her followers from the start Mr. Wrong sent her a winter bae application and we hope she declines it Just because her followers still send her Valentine’s Day requests hoping she doesn’t deny it When she told her following that she’s been feeling lonely and too single lately I was the first to realize the right dude probably hasn’t crossed her maybe There was a time I was prepared to make her my girlfriend maybe I liked what she stood for and I wasn’t talking about the national anthem If she became a famous model, I would be the only one to watch her go from rags to riches before she reached super fandom I remember when she used to have a DM filled with the whole variety of dudes and how they usually come The fuckboys, the players, fake photographers, scam artist, and shy quiet guys who have a problem socializing because of anxiety She posts a picture and her following likes it while my brain is telling me do the same but my right hand is fighting me But eventually the fame goes to her head and she starts acting like her following never existed and we weren’t with her from the beginning, **** I wonder what happened Maybe it’s my fault for always falling for a pretty face with makeup with nails and hair done And once that makeup comes off so does the personality And all those faces and personas but I can thank makeup tutorials for making that my reality **** That’s what I get for being attracted to the exterior without getting to understand the interior Now everytime I look at her I feel so inferior But no matter what I’ll always be another face behind the phone doing my social media shadowing But now that she’s all popular I’ll always be apart of her following
