"inflated" poems
I can’t come to you for my pain in the throat But I can for the pain in my soul. Perception is your prescription Somehow I took too many dose My pore my nostrils Inflated with the onrush of ecstasy It’s mistaken, Curiosity should be the cure.

Help me be humble and modest Lord. Bless the work that I do and let me do good things not so people notice me, rather I do them with a pure heart so as to give glory and honor to you and to help those who are in need. Help me remember the good feeling and the reward I get by helping those in need, especially those who cannot repay me. The gift of their smile, their gratitude and the knowledge that I have made a difference and potentially changed someone's life is a reward far greater, more permanent, and longer lasting than any amount of money or accolades could ever have. Allow me not to become pompous and inflated when I am successful or praised. Remind me when I am tempted to do so that the gift I have been given comes first from you. Help me also to be appropriately gracious and thankful when I am praised or rewarded and keep me cognizant of the fact that, while it is ok to be rewarded for your work, it should never be the main reason for our work.

Dear Boy,
It lies in my skin, It makes me who I am, It makes me beautiful, You saw and see me as lesser, You look down at me with displeasure, My big lips and *** were seen as ugly, Now seen as a trend broadly, My natural beauty has fallen in the category of fake, My melanin aches, My blackness sheds tears as my sense of beauty once hated, Now brought into the public eye, now everyone all bums and lips inflated, Something once that was seen as characteristics of my people, Now a trend. So sorry if I don’t follow a trend that is sickening, But I won’t stop my smile from glistening, Cause there are things you can’t take from us, Our freedom, our pride, our melanin.

Suicidal serial killer bashes the bones hoping to feel nothing because that would be something A Swelling self-image pops in the distance is chewed, then inflated over and over this routine never fails to cycle, disappoint, and please Ethanol injections cuz oral doesn't do **** give it to me ******** ***** I'll munch your muffin just fo nuthin like I'm ****** with y'all Cuz I surf to fall and smoke to die In the high where life is inconsequential to question and I feel less than short Of supernatural Who are these new kids? They dress in tights and pick fights I can't see your face but I trust the feeling Damsel's are rescued blood is spewed Yet insanity is gushing The drugs are running out We might just be super We might just be heroes Entropy enters me ripping the glamour and with a stammer I know This isn't a comic book Marvel In awe at these elaborately induced fabrications and schemes to change the pecking order or chisel the universe to perfection The line of schizophrenic and degenerate flees for the hills that now have eyes

Suicidal Serial Killer
And so the green balloons did grow Inflated, nurtured over time, This tree of air Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Traces of other gases too, Out side was warm Internal temp minus triple degrees, What had been barren branches Now sustained as these Strings matured forth Buds of latex and rubber grew, Liquid air exhaled as the buds nurtured   Air expanded with warm the green balloons Grew & Grew Sprung forth in to life what once was Small, now expanded fuelled by the Cold fuel of the tree of white, In the winds they did gesture As if dancing putting on a show Tree, Branch, String, Green balloons flourished there veins Feeding air anew, Blustery winds picked up Strings did snap, green balloons did Float away, drifting upon high Into a sea of blue, But as seasons change, Green balloons became loose Many floated away to places new Those that did not, Deflated, Depleted, Exhausted, Nourishment of air, no longer green ballons Phenomenon's of gases changed And green faded now this tree of air Brought forth new shades of    Yellows, Purples, Black, Oranges, So these colours did fall from the tree, Floating not as before, They did descend, slowly to the floor, Biodegradable. they did fade From view, not what they were before, The life cycle of these green balloons The tree of white grows evermore cold, For seasons change and green balloons will Grow again next spring  floating in the air once more.

There are categories.... Positive: Narcissists think they are better than others. Inflated: Narcissists' views tend to be contrary to reality. In measures that compare self-report to objective measures, narcissists' self-views tend to be greatly exaggerated. Agentic: Narcissists’ views tend to be most exaggerated in the agentic domain, relative to the communion domain. Special: Narcissists perceive themselves to be unique and special people. Selfish: Research upon narcissists’ behaviour in resource dilemmas supports the case for narcissists as being selfish. Oriented towards success: Narcissists are oriented towards success by being, for example, approach oriented.

************ The Ego
The Pigeon Gent, He woos and coos around the river bent. Pursues his muse with artful dance and skillful prance, With inflated neck and ruffled plumage, until his energy or luck is spent. He then resides by ebbing tides to ponder on his next advance. "Now Now", "Whats This" the gent exclaims, A shadow looming from the skies. With ***** and claps he glides and lands with  full surprise, He spies the intruder, "A fellow Brooder". Pigeon gent cant believe his eyes. Pigeon Gent cannot believe the sauce, The scurge seems intent on taking his prize by force. At once he knows he must respond, And force this illbread vagabond to abscond. At once chest puffed and muscles flexed, With wild eyes he jabs and pecks. To teach this ruffian respect, So on his actions he may later reflect. He stands his ground both large and proud, To make example of this foul winged burglar from the clouds. "You insult me sir" he shouts aloud, To make his intentions clear for all the crowd. For several rounds they fight and scuffle. With intruder retreating, feathers ruffled. Then bested suiter fairly parted, The quarrel ends as fast as started. The vanquished victor displays and grooms, As peace and honour now resumes. Soon the ripples upset the green, An armada of ducks come on the scene. Alerted by the heightend coos, They race to see what act insues. The mighty mallards, Kings of the river, None contest their right of way. Their ways of conduct such generous givers. Majestic river royalty, the law is always what they say. On bank or shallow pebbled river they have always been, They love to feed and breed amongst the river scene. There royal cape made up of browny reds and shimmering greens, reflects and intejects on mirrored water skies and evergreens. To their mates for life and lady lovers, The mallard gent is like no others. Such loyalties are seldom seen, In modern times and different dreams. Fine and lean with striking features, Best examples of river teachers. But at any moment no matter how abrubt, A river duel may easily erupt. Battle can ensue and rage, As both apponents approach and engage. For they mate for life as duck and wife, A rarity in any age or life.

Out of a **** he made Great Art It was no ordinary **** no!

It was probably the greatest **** poem    ever written In my own humble opinion It was very daring and it smelt of    onion It was certainly the fairest fartiest    poem I ever seen If it was one of the three Musketeers It would have to have been    D'artagoine. It inflated like a balloon, blew up like    a great glass bubble Then it popped and headed off    toward England Flying further afield than any ****    had ever flown It touched people's hearts, bewitched    every nation Resounded around the world Yea! was heard in every Kingdom. It flew long, it rounded the Horn Like a Lark, that **** it soared and    sung It was no boring old **** It was far fartier and fruiter than that It was a King of Farts Way above the fartiest of farters and    all the farting Arthurs It was the real King Arthur The King Arthur of all farts and    Farters. A real Belter was that **** that came    from the heart That had all the Angels singing in    their cloisters, A real work of Art just like Mozart Or remember... remember your    Shakespeare "Hark! A **** a **** Whereforth art ?     Thou **** It played its part, that **** yea! it    wielded its Excalibur.

I live so shyly it could be taken as an apology but it is only simply that I seek to walk gently As I live where thick forest grow deep within a hidden society places you will never know. I am a gentle giant the King of the jungle a great power house, walking   softly and slowly. As you look into my eyes rivers and waves will channel and flow between us.   I sit so still in the jungle resting so deeply the world is centered around me. No human, monster or giant cat could ever disturb me my heart strong and enormous. I am a fortress great castle made of stone as many softly creep past me. I bear my chest a treasure chest a temple for my heart. As I open my inflated chest puffing out my heart I breath my love into this world. Always holding a perfect space for my a green house for my family to grow. I have the wisdom of many elders,   the strength strong men and the touch of a gentle baby child.   Covered in warm soft fur we hold each other within the lightest kindest touch. We know a gentleness can only be built on enormous power and strength. As I am born to hold cherish and protect as you will see in my eyes I cradle my family within my heart. As an amplified love burst through my chest I feel every follicle of hair search to express. Although never anger me never threaten my family as I will drown you out like thunder. I will be all the storm clouds of your life turning your day into night as I shatter your world with rain. I will grow like KING KONG curse and dominate your day, you will wish you never crossed me. I am the beating heart of my family as they all beat inside of me so maybe no giant is ever bigger than me. Don't throw your lies at me as they will bounce of my silver chest as I do know my way. I can be your worst nightmare       the softest mother and the gentlest grand father. And all the love in my chest passes through my skin as though it was paper thin. I feel the jungle grow all around me as I pour my love into my family. Give it to me, for all the world all I want is to love my baby and I will be so happy. Living within a pool of amplified love that turns brighter jungle a electric field green. As I really love my family be careful with their sensitivity as all their love sponsors me. But be gentle and I will love you like my family as I am the GREAT GORILLA

We ran out of pencils which didn't bother us much 'till we discovered that we ran out of words and letters as well and in the lack of words there was nothing to ration sheer terror and confusion and those leaked out of storage foaming, flooding, roaring draining all other emotions and thus the hunger settled in oozing through the cracks clinging to the walls suckling like an orphaned boy until, when nothing's left consumed itself to null and we were left with the absence who's already small amounts swelled, and inflated filling our entire volume entrapping the echos of memory then, naturally, diffused to the outside and we were left deprived of selves only the void within preventing us from bursting towards the void outside we float in no distinct direction and on occasion bump into each other's shell a tap deprived of sound unable to disturb eternal peace

Having him by my side                               makes me feel safe                                       from all the dangers                                  that i may come across                                          during this walk in life.                                                        With him by my side                                                         i feel capable to walk                                       these paths, life puts before me,            i know that all steps                    i walk by his side                            will be worthy ones,                                  they will be the right ones.                     Because i feel his strength of love                                                                            decency                                                                     friendship                                                               honesty                                                      faithfulness                                  by the simple touch of his hand                                        or                                              by the light in his eyes                                              when he looks at me.              He helps me look to the future              with a certainty              that happiness is possible              those obstacles              we should never fear,              there will always be obstacles              always dark clouds and shadows              but              together, we will always find a way              out of these difficulties              we together will always find our light.                      Because we together                          will always keep our hearts                               filled with this greater feeling                                  called love!                                         A love that means unity                                                       harmony                                                 companionship                                                           and                                                          faith                                          in a life, we have chosen                                                       together.                                               For our hearts                              are filled with a beauty                         and                     inflated with the confidence                and hope only a great love can bring.

They waited, and waited. Then like a giant lantern, The Moon inflated. Casting light so divine On two hearts, oh so blind

He’s sorry that she is sobbing on the dirt floor. He can’t think past the hunger that is beating upon her, which beats upon him. He is angry that his ancient predatory instincts are gaping to the fore. For the ancient being now gently weeping on a cold dirt floor. Why did he not recognize her? How did he get so lax in the thinking that cattle could disguise it self? A Wolf in Sheep’s clothing? Well... it’s not like he has not donned the same costume! He had been a Protector for so long. Rising each Sunset with the challenges that bring on the most predatory beasts that hunger for pain. He, alone, has stood beside Humanity to bring the world a semblance of normality, morality, a passing moment when they thought they were King of the world… but their inflated egos were never touched by doubt. Because of him. But she brings him down to the basest level. He feels… For her For her hunger For her emptiness For her utter contemptuousness She is the creature that he has been birthed to fight. The utter savageness that she brings forth when it becomes night. He alone, in eternity, wanders the earth to make Mortal life the one thing that is right. She lifts her head from the cold dirt floor to stare at him. He materializes as a persona that should scare her, one that heralds Death, but his emotions are fraught with peril. She is important to him. He may have been birthed to bring Death but he was never denied that one could become his Life. His pulse quickens, her eyes widen, her pulse quickens, he is afraid of the sight that lays bare in front of him. His fangs are buried deep in his bottom lip, he can not say a word even if his immortal soul depends on it. She licks her lips in hesitation, maybe anticipation; she could be licking her lips because of the small droplet of blood that lingers in the corner of her mouth. He wants to touch his tongue to said lips and cheek and ear and throat and, well HELL, he’s happy to continue south… as long as his tongue is touching skin… She looks away, briefly, and cries again. She is unable to fight past her hunger even though she has recognized the Protector. She needs protecting too! She’s so hungry! But from the swelling of his body, so is he…

Money is a **** producer, who mascarades as a professional film producer, promising fame and fortune to young girls in LA. Money exploits us all, telling us to cry on his **** as he forces it down each of our throats. MMM Money talks its valuable poetry, cha ching as we take the money shot, the money shot, the money shot... Blaw! we take the money and run. Exploited, every one of us carries this inflated value; running around with our heads chopped off. Where did we put our heads? Not a one realizing how. We put our heads collectively in the sand. Money talks, but we dont. Money walks, but we wont. Money marches, but we cant stand. Can't form a coherent sentence while we're getting ****** "If my dad finds out he will destroy me!" "I won't tell." Money wants us young, dumb, and full of idiom; and as the bubble bursts, we can't help but feel depressed. Our faces are all over the internet. America the beautiful, I can hardly see your face behind the biggest, blackest **** If you want to turn anyone into your own personal ***** first you got to get the money! Money is king. But is he kind? Money is our god, but what kind? Money money money, MONEY! The lyrics of every rap song on the top 100 Can we get some hoes and some money that we can throw's up in here!? It's what we all want, and its what we all fear. Money controls us and rules us without a peer. Money replaces trust, it replaces common decency, and puts a friendly mask on the face of a murdering monster. Money makes me sick. It smells like burning flesh if you read it just right, and put your nose up real tight, it can start to burn you too. Roll a hundo, give Ben a sniff. Money doesn't care if you sell it off to buy drugs or a train wreck. Money isn't ethical and neither are you. Money wants us all to bow down, and when we rise up, we look like monopoly men. Give me some money and I can change the world into a paradise on earth; give your local bank some money, and our world looks like a shopping mall.

So...there's this girl who's rather smart that, when her lips begin to part, drives me up the wall in a good way. I sort of want to see her everyday. She's usually busy though, so I occupy time with one constant sigh until she calls and then I go. I don't really know too much about her --- she's Aphrodite's caricature! --- no,no, that's a bit rash and inflated, but in my stomach butterflies've congregated each time her face comes to mind. Severely interesting, her hands are often clean and she's never proved less than kind. I think it might be good to write her a song (I should've been writing this all along) so that she'll feel sublimely delighted and is happy, though consistently derided by the upkeep of her garden's flora. She could use a lot of things uncommonly wrought, like poems stuffed with anaphora.      *In time all the snowflakes will evaporate.       In time the sun will sleep under an iron leaf.       In time acetylene darkens human hate.       In time all time will seem quite brief.* So, in honor of her I have created this mediocre song so dominated by use of the Yeats-stanza's rhythmic-rhyme, offering it to her as ends to the crime of my deplorable mannerisms. I hope it's well-received, being arduously conceived, but I'll openly accept criticisms. Coral, though you must (and do) work a lot, work harder at those things which can't be bought (i.e. relationships, love, and empathy) for even the natural workaholic bee requires mutual love. Even while working find a small moment to sing this song. I hope it's enough.

I had really hoped To forget you, once and for all However, it seems you are always hovering around Like an annoying little mosquito Ready to **** the blood Of anyone and everyone in your vicinity And looking for that perfect window of opportunity To mock my shortcomings Which apparently do not exist For your precious little "best friend" Who has a smug smile on his face Ready to defend you at the drop of a hat Of course, it will only be a matter of time Before you tire of him as well Because, people exist merely for your needs Which are about as realistic As Telugu action movies are Therefore, it is a huge irony That you were my first female friend Of course, I am not sure you understand What friendship truly means Because, you promise one thing And then proceed to do the exact opposite May God help that unfortunate soul Who truly cares for you Because s/he will be in for a rollercoaster ride Which will never end Until your delusional fantasies are satisfied By the time that eventually happens S/he would be dead Anyway, it was you Who wanted to be friends with me in the first place I, being a naive idiot Readily accepted your offer of friendship And was with you Through thick and thin However, you cut me off When you needed me no longer I apologised to you a number of times Not because I did anything wrong But because your inflated ego required a massage Alas! To you, I was nothing more than a problem child Whom you wanted to mould According to your whims and fancies I was never an independent human being Who could make his own choices And live his life on his own terms Your own Brahmin sensibilities matter more to you Than a friend who genuinely cared for you Unlike "Mr Smug Face", whom I had mentioned earlier You destroyed my self-confidence And turned me into an insecure wreck God knows how many more people exist Whom you've treated as "use and throw" Just keep one thing in mind, though There will surely be a time When the tables are turned And it is you who will become a lonely wreck Then there will be noone Who is ready to rush to your aid Because, you will be forgotten; once and for all As you deserve to be

We slump on the couch when we return like lifetimes have passed before us. We have to, even though it was only a seven minute walk to the dining hall, because 1) the food was just “weird consistency” (which we tend to say regardless), 2) the light in there yawned indifferently to us (when does it not?), and 3) the reassuring clink of our forks on our plates wasn’t even there this time it was hiding underneath slop and smothered on top by the intruding sound waves (who asked?) of our next-table neighbors’ lives. You made a sly remark about seconds to catch a glimpse of youthful **** She’d gone to get some more baby carrots and cucumber slices to put in her salad maybe (who knows? who cares?) Either way, her youthful **** would make the food taste like something to you. And you described them to us when you sat down again so the slop would taste like something to us (there’s pride in that type of generosity, don’t forget) and (congratulations) we had the faint impression of some sort of ****** there, but we didn’t tell you (it’s easier that way). A cup, a squeeze, a kiss on her ******* yes that could feed our hunger for a night. And tonight was a night like any, so her ******* led us to talk of women, and women led us to talk of love (and the blooming one for the poor ******* as we who lost withstood the vicarious twinge of an addling ****** very different from the first. This one led us to pine for sweets, but the ones we found were dry, so we left the table, left the dining hall, looking around at the others: the lonely, the couples, the blessed lonely couples, and the fortunate friends huddled against everything with open laughter, enjoying the weird consistency like drunk theoretical physicists before they discovered bubbles and inflated eternally meaning when they safeguarded a zoo with a pistol they didn’t know how to use, in Soviet Russia. (So you see?) We have to slump on the couch when we return like lifetimes have passed before us. No one even bothers to pick up a guitar, we leave all four of them strewn on the floor like dead wooden boxes because Dylan or Young or Cash (or whoever) is already in the living room. Any bubbling, inflating, theoretical physicist (any drunk, pistol-packing zookeeper, for that matter) will tell you that. So we slump, comfortably uncomfortable, (at least we’re trying!) feeling their (our) strings plucking. No sounds, no voices. Because we don’t need to hear this that. Not right now. (Not right now).

. .. ... When the inflated crunching sky turns into the black hole, one by one the expected stars slowly falling on the horizon, sudden deep dark clouds cover the silky face of moon, or the earth takes the full moon. Long, long shadows darken the meadows, southern wind can’t open your closed window at all, standing along on the curve of a road, a sigh to fly in the wind, roaming heart finding a home. See the mystic form of the known objects, distant standing old banyan tree suppose to feel a lonely friend of mine, a friend of rootless time, when silly, bogus thoughts engulfed me, want to break up but change does not cry out. Melancholy beauty in the dark, floating with the imagine gulls in the sky, draw the red sun on the canvas of dark sky within the wings of dream, again see you are playing with the seven colors across my unfinished sky. . .. ... @Musfiq us shaleheen
