Graffiti, Graffiti, Graffiti Being bled onto The landscapes between thighs Incarcerating women's wombs Justifying men's genes Foreigners appropriating Women's and men's sexualities Losing the power to be When changing our roles' long overdue Gendering our words and attitudes Man, who taught you to be a chauvinist! Woman, who taught you to be a ********* Don't put your god in gendered bigotry Do man's emotions feminize him? When will women freely carry torches! What gender do you assign this voice? What gender do you assign this words? Will the masses even understand these choices? Don't worry, my sexuality won't infect you Criminalizing sexuality Placing it front and center, implying that's all I am Graffiti, Graffiti, Graffiti Being bled onto The landscapes between thighs Graffiti, defiling the masses not high classes Because men and women of society Full of stride, take pride, in their gendered hyde Graffiti, defiling the masses not high classes Ignored hoods, barrios, countrysides, ghettos, projects Devouring women's and men's bodies Younger and younger people falling to HIV/AIDS and STDS Vaginas receiving the violence, wombs bringing misery LGBT youth ****** into fire Lost males (in mental chains) ****** to assert their manhoods Graffiti, Graffiti, Graffiti Full of dangerous chemicals, being sprayed onto The landscapes between thighs Attempting to legislate our stories, without warrant

Graffiti (Between Landscapes of Thighs)
His father reminded him of the giddy times, As if he forgot them. He does this habitually, Implying that a lot has changed. Of course, because today isn't yesterday And the present isn't the past. He wishes it was like before. He can't recognize his son As if he's wearing a mask. Grew through adolescence without him As he put on his mask. He can't recognize him, But he'll continue to remind him That they are Growing distant, Without being literally far away, It seems like it though. Separated like fission, And the miles grow and grow. The true colors faded, After they were shown. The underlying tone of it all, Segregated by a labyrinth of walls. While we were wearing masks We couldn't recognize each other, While we were wearing masks We couldn't recognize each other anymore. Growing distant, Without being literally far away, It seems like it though. Separated like fission, And the miles grow and grow. He remembers the connection he had with her, As if she forgot about it. He speaks of how spending time with her elated him, Implying that he misses her. Of course today isn't yesterday And the present isn't the past, But he wishes it was like before, So he asks if they could return to what they once were, He asks if they could return to what they once were. They're growing distant Without being literally far away, It seems like it though. Separated like fission, And the miles grow and grow. Separated like fission, And the miles grow and grow, The miles grow and grow. It seems like it though. Growing distant, And the miles grow and grow, The miles grow and grow, Growing distant.

Like a black hole, you **** me in. My curiosity pulls me leads me,  just to find out where i might end up. Even though i will regret it, i can't help hoping you will take me somewhere i've been hoping for. My nine lives are running thin, so tell me why i still jump from my highest peak? The ones I love warn me to steer clear, but there is something irresistibly charming about you, whispering in my ear to throw myself into unpredictable nothing-ness Almost implying my life will feel incomplete if i don't take this chance Something always brings me back to you, it never takes to long. No matter what i say or do, Your vacuum stills makes its way back into my universe. Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. You hold me without touch You keep me without chains. This blackhole will be the death of me.

blackhole
Sensual pleasures I am restricted by words Asking to be noticed Begging to be heard A push from the air So you feel its constant hug So often we brace a shoulder To avoid the wind's tug Motion to falsify life Implying breath without lungs Moving whip of the dead That slapped til it stung

Our life puts the "Sh..." back in "Chicago." This pulse could race, slow to a dull thud or stop and curdle like the residents of a container of milk who've been left out, and still you will never love me.   Gobs of waiter phlegm we never detect in our bowls of soup and teapots beg our forgiveness and howl for our affection, and are invisible. But where is the crime in not loving when we are not loved? How could there be a crime in not loving, when we are loved poorly? Loved so poorly we cannot afford to ask ourselves where is the crime, thus implying innocence. We put the "mice" back in "monogamous." tip-toeing, silent but for mere squeaks, nearly inaudible whispers, furtive looks, and how we run away, screaming, or, like mice and Chicagoans all, we freeze. Aquiver with fear, iced up in the Polar Vortex, hands raised in the policeman's spotlight. But where is the crime in not loving when you are not loved, or loved poorly? Loved so poorly we cannot afford to stand up straight, We scurry close to building walls, trying not to be seen or see each other as we curse our fate. Where is the crime in not loving those whom we hate? There is no crime, but still, not loving is the heart of all crime. To feel so deeply unloved we wish to destroy ... you name it. Blot out, ruin and erase them; our enemies, our families, lovers, and even the world herself. Jab a knife into her verdant hide and twist until black blood flows. Gouge out mountaintops seeking iron for our towers. Remaking her grace to build our graveyard. These vibrant phosphorescent tombstones, overpopulated pillars of mutual isolation reach up into the clouds. Announcing to the universe, we trumpet a loneliness as profound as it is absurd and ugly.

omnipresent sick to my ******* stomach dressed in mosquitoes that are woolen like the lining of my english ******* and coated in a complex mixture of secreted proteins i follow the screen of the teleprompter as it storms, blue and brilliant behind a mess of optical wiring. lip and teeth theres bile at the base of my throat threatening to bust with each greased second as my brain becomes nauseated by the snow-drift of sentences burning the back of my eyelids. i've never believed the things i read so now i'm mute but spitting, spiteful and unoriginal visualizing their greyhound decapitations in high colour. nearly implying transit to our friendship or something that would only churn the stomach like rich food after famine so yes, i am the cruelest female of august shipwrecked on the front porch with the lamplight raining in my mind and i'm asking the moon as it rises like a solemn word why i'm sick all the time, sweating from everywhere but my tear ducts and waiting for several breeds of cold to attack my corpse

*I hate people who trivialize any sadness. If they're suffering, why should they be mocked? You answer for me. Don't tell me they're implying They're suffering is greater than others Or that they're intensifying The flighting emotion that need not be exaggerated Because you don't known their pain, Get an insight to their thought, Accept their pain into yourself-- Yes you have suffered, none can deny that But if you don't respect the man Comparatively weaker, or sound How can anyone respect your position? You are a parasite, Lost in the host You feed off sadness You know it's a drought Yet you remain cynical So simple in your name. Your life is filled with hollow anguish You'll never learn in time And in my dread I know you are me...*

Mocked
Growing up, a girl watches, learns, The truths of boys and men— so often unturned. “Boys will be boys,” a phrase we know, implying girls must shoulder the load. Girls mature fast, women pick up the cast— an unspoken burden, a silent decree: Bear the weight of their irresponsibility. In a world gripped by misogyny, women face judgment, their futures unclasped. Absorbing shame for games they play, men walk away, free to go their way. Homes abandoned, men now free, their true selves unknown. Disgrace drapes women—a heavy yoke, neglect shatters hope. Promises unkept, fathers vanish as children wept. Guilt escaped with practiced ease, duty dodged, a ghost on the breeze. Children and wife he never knew, society laughs at the pain he withdrew. Children carry his woes— identities shaped by the hurt he chose. Shame shouldered early, remembering blame. Love claimed, but never there. Strain felt in his name, unfairness echoes. Abandoned women and children grow— a daunting endeavor men overthrow. Shadows linger, burdens remain; a future carved where hope will maintain. Every struggle faced—a dawn, strength carries on.

And yet despite the reciprocities of man, we are still at war. Not at war with other nations, Not at war with our governments, Not at war with our neighbors, But at war with ourselves. The war that never ends is the war that is fought inside ourselves. We all know that this is something that exists, We all know that this is something that shouldn’t change, We all know that sometimes war is too great for ourselves and we seek help. But the war is something that we all agree should remain. Why I ask of you, Why must this war remain? Is it so that we can constantly better ourselves through repeated questioning? Is it so we can work to create turmoil in our minds in which we must struggle through? Or is it so we have a reason to perpetually push ourselves to improve so that we may reach a certain goal? This is an answer that will forever remain for it is different for the individual. But it is my belief that thanks to these inner wars, we may improve as a society, no, more so improve as a species. Through self improvement, through self turmoil, through self questioning, we may force ourselves to change, to become the person or entity in which we wish to become, And if everyone was able to achieve this goal, Either it be through our own desires, or the desires of our circumstance, We can improve others, thanks to the experience one gains, and due to the natural human desire for social contact. But not all inner wars lead to this outcome, Many of them lead to selfishness, entitlement, or even apathy for their fellow people. Saying that we should leave behind our earthly values, or a physical addiction is not what I’m implying here. I believe that we are all allowed to have some selfishness, some amount of self entitlement, and even a small amount of apathy for people. We do not need to feel empathy for the people who have wronged us, but we shouldn’t ignore the reasoning for them doing so, we can learn from their mistakes and teach it to others. Being too selfless leads to self destruction due to giving too much of yourself away for the sake of others, this leads to a mind that will sooner than later crumble under the stress of pleasing those around them, and even sooner a body that will start to fall apart from beneath them. A small amount of self entitlement leads to knowing one's self worth, if you have no entitlement then you lead to being too selfless, and leads you to become used by those around you. How? By allowing yourself to do the tasks or the jobs that nobody else wishes to do, yes it's good that someone does those things, but letting someone do it for too long and their mind too will lower itself to the trash tasks and will become trash itself due to repeated exposure. The inner war that we all face, that we all have, and that we can all see, It should be discussed, It should be allowed to be seen by others, It should be a way for self improvement. It should always remain.

Its so much easier to cry in the dark Why? You may ask Well, I feel like a black hole Devoid of air Everything beautiful gets dragged down Down into the deepest hole of my chest My greedy sorrowed soul Searching for an eternal light Something I can grasp onto that wont break off That I wont drag down or push away Flowers trying to grow along the base of my skull Trying to sprout through the toxic darkness that lingers Its so dull inside my head Everything in me as charcoal gold What I am implying is When its pitch black I am one with the dark And my soul. Theres nothing I can poison or destroy Thats why its so much easier to cry in the dark

We've all heard about the site 'Ask.fm' where people anonymously ask each other questions, be it about their personal life or just for fun. I recently joined this site just to see what kind of questions people ask and how people react to such questions. But one answer really infuriated me. A person was asked to describe his country (India) in 3 words. He replied saying 'Cricket. **** Corruption'. Now I understand the frustration a normal Indian faces everyday regarding the growing cases of **** and corruption. But why insult your own country on a public forum knowing fully well that the person sending the question might just be from a different country? Is this the picture we want to give others about India? We should be proud to be Indians and should talk highly of our country. This brings me to my next point. I hear a number of Indians, specially students, criticizing the country and saying that they want to leave it. It bothers me that educated Indians themselves have no will to help develop their own country. India cannot grow until the people want to make it grow. Unfortunately, people, including me, have been influenced too much by the western culture. We see America and all we want is to live in a country as 'classy' and developed as America. Why don't we think even once that if we leave, how will our country flourish? It is the people who form a country, not the government and not the old politicians. I am not implying that all of us should join politics and run the country. But the least we can do is lead it to the path of development in the best possible way we know. Charity begins at home. Our home is India and we are Indians. Running away from this fact won't change it.

awoke from a dream last Wednesday strangely refreshing and uplifting resounding in music the notes still reverberating on my heartstrings it was the first dream of my brother since his passing it may be my first dream of him ever he was laying in bed contemplating his demise don’t know if he was speaking before or after the fact guess it really doesn’t matter with one simple sentence and just a hint of anger “Life is stupid”, he said. implying remorse and resentment for still having so much to do I backed away to give him his privacy as I readied myself for work he got up out of bed and found me happy and smiling, a sparkle in his eyes and teeth corroborated his contentment he was walking around the house playing his guitar it was acoustic and unplugged but the sound was electric he was playing a Mexican folksong his ex-wife appeared, singing the refrain: “Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores por qué cantando se alegran Cielito Lindo, los corazones” 1 his song struck a chord whose message was immediate: “sing and don’t cry for singing gladdens the heart” his daughter’s seventeenth birthday is today with a party this weekend timing is often coincidental but it seems to me this message was for her and everyone at the gathering for those who would listen Terence would tell us: “Life is stupid...so sing and don’t cry”

Terence's Song
I had a dream I was dreaming.. implying strong aspirations of optimism indicating my wishful thinking that I was a small child blonde, and fair without a care fluent in French along with emotional intelligence ahead of my time in feminine wile I was acting out a play animated in every way drawing a crowd all the grown ups watched smiling at me imagining a bright future at least that's what I dreamed... they could all see... then I turned into a Chimpanzee swinging from tree to tree.

"Dreaming" by, Krisselle S. Cosgrove
The Universe is a manifestation of the Music of the Godself, and I am a personification of that Universe. Music is not my Medium; I am that of Music. The Universe at any given time is the "All-Chord" of that moment; The Harmony of all that is, implying a motion forward in time perhaps towards resolution? Not if Entropy has anything to say about it, which, by now, it certainly seems to. What a queer Symphony is this Existence, that implores Entropy to be Maestro! A Babushka Doll Set of Paradoxes, Perfect!

Fractal of Manifestation [I]
looking back I see where it all went wrong it was when I saw her her in bra and a thong you weren’t denying you’d only been implying this friend you said is only a friend it may not have been a lie it was enough for me to say bye.

i don't like watching you exaggerate my condition. sorry, i should say, our condition. you call it a disease and that is not a lie. you call it an illness and that is also true. but where you cross the line is when you call it a "disability." legally we are broken. it is a tragedy that our lives have a monetary value and we pay it every time we walk to the pharmacy counter. but do not call yourself disabled with the tone implying "disabled" equals "weak" or "helpless" not when you haven't even seen a quarter of what others have seen. not when you haven't learned how to grow up. you are not special. i am not special. we are not special. keeping our physical bodies alive is one thing. your perception of "strength" is our perception of "insecure" i don't understand why diabetes needs to be a personality trait. our lives are different we're broken we're "sick" but we could deal with it with grace why can't you deal with it with grace? awareness is important but if it only benefits you, is it awareness for anyone else? i'm worried my rights will be questioned by your actions. our lives are already for profit, the government calls us whatever they like i'm not asking you to hide i'm asking you to stop pretending you are perfectly capable. i keep telling you to get help you don't listen. don't exaggerate my friends' lives don't imply our weakness we might be sick but we have control don't take the power away from the rest of us

I found a home in your hands and took refuge in your words A knight in shining armor, it seemed almost too good to be true. I observed as your charming indie boy facade faded fast and you shed your sheep clothing. Ill tempered with glazed over eyes Your hand would tighten around my throat We both talked of death sleeping ******* smoking You promised me the world But did not hesitate when you pulled the rug from out underneath me. "How can you put your faith into what the stars say?" And I  simply replied "Because they were there every night for me when God wasn’t." The nights when I would pray to just be taken away from it all, to make the incessant arguing stop. Asking questions as to: Why I had to walk in on my mother with a man who wasn’t my father? Why I had to pull the barrel out of my father’s mouth and watch him weep? Or why my cat, who seemed to be my only friend in the world had been ran over that summer? A sudden realization that I’d rather put my faith into a zodiac calendar instead of sitting in a church pew. How did I get here? I blinked once and I was forced to grow up, the world had grown become cruel and cold, and in times like these a void expanded in my chest so heavily that I questioned where my real faith needed to be. Your attempt to dictate my spirit only made me rebel more. You would preach how women should act a certain way That maybe I should wear less makeup And wear longer skirts to protect not only my but "our virtue" You said homosexuality was a sin Claiming a couple of the same *** could never truly lie down at night and love each other. "Let Christ into your life and you'll be forgiven" you'd say "Like when you told me about that girl you kissed on the lips last summer." As we sat in pulse stopping silence for the rest of my family dinner. So what you are really implying here, is if you're save by grace it's okay to be an ******* If you always hurting the one's you love You might as well become a self proclaimed narcissist instead of a self righteous ******* son of your God.

The frumpy ragamuffin is discombobulated And throws together an out fit She dawns a fur coat in the middle of July And begins to eat Alpo She exfoliates her feet with a cheese grater The top notch tuba player with a hook for a hand suffers from bed sores and an over active pituitary gland I ask him what the difference is between reasons and excuses He seems to be dancing around the question But answers in a round about way Implying that one is organic and natural while the other is genetically modified and man made It's zero hour As I look at the broken coo coo clocks And the rainbow colored rocks The ragamuffin presumptuously tells me that no one benefits from doubt   Then calls my friend a bed wetter And tells us she must go to feed her Venus flytraps She storms back towards her laboratory I wonder what she could possibly do in there I'm dying to know I'm on the edge of my seat With one foot in the grave The tuba player returns wrapped in an electric blanket He tells us he's just suffered from sleep paralysis "It's a dead zone, can't get a signal" He goes on to say that blind faith is is a stepping stone to the truth A game of William Tell, a stab in the dark A round of Blind man's bluff with Marco Polo Testing the waters is a building block of wisdom And a clean bill of health is corner stone of a happy life That you have to pay for out of pocket when playing the field And we are the choices we've made incarnate Now, the ragamuffin and the tuba player come once more To tell us the mind is as incorruptible as the soul But the body will bow to time and wither away They then walk backwards, back to where ever they came
