"insensitive" poems
Goodbyes never hurt me It's always the memories that follow To live in such a cruel reality A world so insensitive and shallow A goodbye is just a moment But the memories are stuck on replay To think we deserve such torment We remember each and every day A goodbye will not hurt you But the memories will shatter your being Break your heart into pieces Your life may even lose meaning Goodbyes do not hurt you They are only the beginning A life that was once so simple Turned into a life so unforgiving

Goodbyes do not hurt me
He was imperfect He was young She loved him She was crazy She wasn’t so pretty He loved her He had doubts He had challenges She loved him She was naïve She was carefree He loved her He was smart He was cute She loved him She got brains She had talent He loved her He lied He cheated She loved him He became rude He was difficult She loved him He was scared He was reckless She cared He was arrogant He was insensitive She was hurt He ignored her He hurt her more She became different He cheated more He cheated carelessly She ignored him He became scarce He cut off ties She survived He was addicted He was pitiful She had empathy He fell She brought him up He got sick She nursed him to health She slipped He didn’t catch her He got into trouble She turned her back on him He wanted her back She didn’t It was too late She felt nothing for him She was, A diamond he got She was, A diamond he lost

HIM
Well before you know anything else about him, I'm so happy right now, with my eyes filled upto brim, Well yeah, it's about a special friend of mine, Call him a friend, a daddy or a birdie, all are fine. He's a down to Earth person, with no time to even show it! Yet people call my birdie, insensitive! I don't know what do they want to say, And why as negative they want him to be portrayed. He's not weird, just unique, He's not being selective,just doing something for himself for the first time, You can't call him Selfish. He's not you, He's not me, He's better support than us, you'll see! He's an awesome person, with his awesomeness obscure, That doesn't make him insecure! He's no good around people you say, But in reality, He's the same around all.. He's not fake, expressions he doesn't feel like he doesn't know how to make. He's just too good the way he reacts, 'cause there's just one way he acts, That's same, And no adjective I know, Could complete his name... I call him a dad as of yet, So that such an independent person of humanity, I don't forget. **Dad, Please stay Stay my Dad **

Dad please stay (my dad)
*See the show is over, behind the red curtain you can't see me cutting up my fingers using my blood and tears to pick up what's left of my heart. We're done, been done…we were over before we could start. Some ***** you are....some ***** filthy, manipulative, sneaky, overbearing, cold hearted, insensitive, ***** of a ***** you are. Some ***** you are….some charming, loveable, selfless, funny, intelligent, creative, artistic, handsome, good **** slangin'……perfect man you are. Prince Charming, you used your sword, on the one you for swore, that you'd love me till and beyond the day that I'm dead. Unfortunate mistakings……burn me at the stake, but first it's off with my head. Charming and flirtatious, so easy to fall in love……but it's being so charming and flirtatious that's got me trying on OJ's gloves. I'm the witch and you're the townspeople secretly fascinated but you'll never say. I'm still in love with you, let's just swallow our pride and give each other's the time of day. I'm still your weakness, you believe I'm that gullible and I don't know at all……because I stuck my pin through your Voodoo corpse right in the heart, and then you gave me a call. I heard the sorrow in your voice and I know you sensed my tears, with the so unslick cracks in my voice and sniffles flooding your ears. I'm yours, and you're mine, last time I said it was the last time……but you're the love of my life and even if we're not together that'll last a lifetime.*

Drip yourself into a cup Fill up your body with antiquity Let the collagen insist An allegory of Capricorn Memories crystallised Settled in Forevers harvest Insensitive Misconstrued chemical Collective symmetry's sin A condition, livid Fleeting in Human imagery Ships break Loop our tongued Hands, tossed in Dramamine Whittled in a succession of malleable fashion Talent spilled spread in supper Collate our atrophy And drink from baroness Flavours tarnished Super-collider Blood soaked in Gematria A garden of totality High brow comparison Entitled in your vacuous stigma Forever burning In the lesser key of Solomon 28 daemon Tessellation in trigonometry Temperance towards an infinite Champion of mind, complex

a unity
Lately I've been a little moody I get triggered by comments made on a video or a tweet or the supposed leader of our nation spouting his views on ****** assault victims.... The real victims....men and boys that are being accused of a horrible act Innocent yet treated like they're guilty. Please, don't get me wrong. Being falsely accused is terrible. Any one guilty of it should be held liable. But, after all of the victims, women and men alike coming forward to tell their stories, he speaks on behalf of the accused.....Am I stupid for being angry? What really disappoints me are the people that get upset when women react to such insensitive views. They tweet or comment and I try to have conversations with these people and end up screaming into a pillow! I walk away wondering if it's worth my time to make my point of view understood. Will I ever change any ones mind? It's the black lives matter vs all lives matter struggles all over again! The argument of should players stand for the anthem! Why don't people understand that saying black lives matter doesn't mean ONLY black lives matter, it's a way of saying Please remember!!! Black lives matter TOO! Stop the hate!!! People of color are being discriminated against and we are tired. So finally a man decides to protest by calmly taking knee during the anthem aaaaannnd......here HE comes to manipulate the meaning of it all and makes it about disrespecting the flag and our troops. And don't even get me started on gay rights! To be treated like second class citizens is ludicrous! How fantastically absurd to be told by your own government that you cannot marry the person you love! And because life has to be just a little more unfair the LGBTQ community are at high risk for ****** assault and hate crimes too! I realize none of this is new....I guess the Kavanaugh hearing triggered me and I can't seem to get it off my mind. I heard Dr. Ford's testimony and watched as so many people, including the man himself, come with more and more ****** excuses and a half *** investigation and in the end he sits on the supreme court any way. I'll do my duty....I'll use my voice and vote, but I live in a red state and I know it's an up hill battle. One that may be lost. But I've said my piece. If you've read through it all, thank you. If you agree with me, keep fighting. If you don't, I respect your opinion, but I'll never understand it.

It is often said that the cup can be viewed as half full or half empty The fact is we should be able to agree on is We all have a cup that can be filled If we All tried to build another person up Fill there cup Instead of putting others down which can drain ones own cup along with the other persons cup If you meet another person who appears mean or insensitive or rude perhaps their cup has been drained so much They don't know how to fill it up again and are badly in need of having their cup refilled A small compliment a little kindness, a smile could help fill up the cup again A cup of friendship can go a long way and help another person have a better day The world is full of hurting people needing to have their cup refilled Seeing things from someone else's perspective is a good start Is the glass half empty or half full, you can decide? Have you raised your glass and tried to share a Cup of friendship and filled another's cup today? If not the present is a good time to start If we all filled up the cup instead of emptying it We would have a better world Fill up the cup today

Cup Of Friendship
I am a little bird born into this world Naked. Chirping lullabies to redwood treetops and singing hymns to an almighty; getting back nothing. I gathered up twigs and loose branches to build up my nest––cropped out upbringing for house fitting. Waking up to noises–– of violent winds. Pressing feathers to cover my ears, and trusting my feet to hold me down. Barricaded myself in worn bark, from the impossibility of the threatening ecosystem. Praying myself in place, hiding when morning shines and dressing in colours of damp green. I’m something but I tell myself otherwise: It’s too frightening to fly so I might as well cut off my wings. No, that would be insensitive––don’t mind that, I’ll pluck them each time the feathers grow. See I’m holding onto the something that makes me more than nothing. Clipped wings seem more ideal than no wings. For some reason I’m scared to let it all go; silently hoping one day I’ll keep them, like them, love them and even spread them. Noticed gathering leaves and flowers one day can add colour to a colourless lifestyle, yet the wind wipes it clean the next––still pale brown and feels less like home than yesterday. I may be afraid of everything, but I know I’m more afraid of dying here alone; whispering Mozartian melodies to dead butterflies.

The melodious voice, her silent voice. Is nothing but a harsh reality of your choice. Shutting her up and putting her down, Doesn't give you a wise man's crown. She who out of love performed every act of abnegation, She is the one, the true sensation. How could you be so insensitive to not hear? So much she said through the eyes in tear. For love and respect today she whines, Despite your ruthless nature, with her love, you, she binds. Maybe you don't know, Even in dark she can glow. She can extend the unforgiving minute, Her strength and purity has no limit. She standing on earth has reached the stars and sky, Still in misconceptions you are high. Open your eyes, your heart, your soul! You're nobody to charge on her life any toll. Do not underestimate this silent voice, Her unsaid is heard even in the noise. When this silent voice will come out of its shell, Will that be the time when you'll ring a bell? Today the voice is silent. Tomorrow, my friend, it might be violent. One who has brought you on this earth, Don't dare to consider her as dirt. Silently she can give you the pain of your life, She is nobody but your mother, daughter or wife. Her silent voice is loudest everywhere. Her absence you won't be able to bear. So from today, begin to care. Wise man's crown then you'll wear.

WOMAN! The one with a silent voice.
My mother enters the kitchen, says that her hands are dripping, begs my father to finish his work at the sink.  I observe, for a moment, the expression upon her face which seems conflicted between a desire to laugh and a need                                                to feel clean. I interject that clearly her fate is to have dog placenta on her hands for all eternity. Her disgust and amusement seem equally to rise. After she has washed herself, she speaks of Ponyo's last intermission between long intervals of birthing to nap three fleeting minutes; another contraction gave way to a wriggling new mole who squeaked and groaned with bizarre endearment, seizing my heart and causing its mother's head, after jolting awake,                                                                to go limp. Mom says it's sad-but-sweet.  Dear dog has spent herself six times already in increments which, as they increase, draw her spirit still closer to a totally inevitable chasm of fled energy; as soon as she falls asleep, yet a new indignant mass of living parts swaddled in loose skin and wet fur shoves its way outward, forward, world-ward. Ponyo is not selfish.  Immediately after birth seven, she begins to lick her offspring clean and nudge it towards her belly, where it may feed itself. "Only just got a break, and already she's                                                                     back to work." I'm one of five children my mother has carried and raised--and for a human, five are many! I'm afraid to give birth even once, despite that a greater want of mine is to hold my own child someday.  I wonder if that is motherhood: discomfort and indecision concerning the worth of the effort in labor, in birth, in the weak moments thereafter-- stroking one's child's downy, collapsible head and feeling a need to protect her, to nurture her, that is more pressing even than the so- alluring whispers which Sleep may breathe-- and even beyond these moments, when I have said to my mother that I hate her (because to me, it was obvious that I did not, and was too callous, obtuse, and insensitive to think that she might just believe it) and then missed church the next day to stay with her when she felt ill and tired--if this is motherhood, I wonder.  It must be more even than I could ever have thought like wanting to laugh and to wring one's hands (and even just to go to sleep)                                                 all at once.

On Puppy Birth and the Nature of Motherhood

Disney Like America Looks awesome in the brochure But feels faded and slightly forced A bit of a letdown after the buildup Still Wild eyed zealots Sacrifice their year’s savings at the altar of the mouse A western Hajj eulogized by matching Toy Story t shirts I really feel I missed an important moment of cultural indoctrination That left me insensitive To the draw of this place. A surprise comes though, As instead of the expected moral superiority I feel a sense Of loneliness And societal exclusion As I watch An old man with a silhouette of Mickey Mouse tattooed on his forearm   Happily Buy a Bud Light for $5.95

A trip to Disney reminds me I'm missing something
Dear Mr. Heaney I wish I'd read your poetry years ago when I was still impressionable and coy and all that jazz. Now it resounds in my skull, leaving a tingle in my right hand. My pen is somewhat snug, but a revolver, no. Ink and shovels aren't far from each other, so your point is well-taken. In fact, they're co-workers – Ink's proved itself just as deadly. It slowly ushers men into the earth, their soil-seat, while the shovel stages the unending play; the eternal lattice. The Nobel hung above your head, the vast array of pins, medals, papers with your name in billowing scarlet. What a treat. Like the last cupcake in the back of the refrigerator that had too much chocolate icing and was only semi-covered in multi-colored snowflakes. I'd loved to have personally presented it to you. There'd be my own plaque, billowing scarlet and all. It'd say, "Mr. Heaney, , you must own a ***** I hope you'd laugh, and not be offended, thinking me a distasteful and insensitive lout. It may not be right, but I can't help but steal the volumes surrounding yours out of every **** library so "Seamus Heaney" may catch the eye of the common passerby more easily. I think I even went to work on enhancing a spine with a red sharpie once. Red hits the eye hard. That was in the central library downtown. Don't tell anyone. Beyond a laugh, what I hope for most is that you get this letter. Just look at it. Wonder why someone so far removed in age and culture and place would ever think of you holding an over-frosted desert as glorious.

The devil sat next to her offering Sumatra blend coffee as a peace offering He had an intimidating persuasive grin Her soul was shrinking Her ******* were missing He trapped her plotting His key was twisting into Hells room floor She could no longer ignore his insensitive personality His life style was to **** expensive A clock tick tocking rhythm less   She still held her head high He never seemed surprised when she said goodbye

At it again
I don’t think I could tell you of ease But I see you across from this sea in between Shifting in your seat, nursing a dull ache I know that feeling all too well But I don’t want to tell you about it In case I may come across insensitive Because I’m trying not to shift this center of gravity We both share in desperation And tip us over the edge We didn’t dare to wonder about But I never learned to swim And this sea in between is filling up my lungs When did it get so hard to breathe? I call after you, under my shallow breath I see you for everything Hoping you see me too But this heavy air we drink Settles in your shadow and mine It spells out gracefully That the spaces between us Are built out of love And so, we go on Paving distances For these descending clouds

This heavy air that we drink
Have we met? Maybe yes, maybe no But in your head There must be an image of me. Either real, sketchy, vague or an imagination To some a rare gem To others is a beautiful devil And to you... maybe just a facebook friend. Maybe it’s the smiling girl In my profile picture, Who got your attention... Or maybe it was that awkward update That got you thinking. Or maybe it’s the color of her eyes, Or is it the long slender legs In that party dress as she walks across the street? Mhhh... Just maybe You must be wondering Why am writing all this I would love to answer you But I really don’t know What my last line will be like. So, will keep writing... Do you ever wonder why this girl isn’t constant? Today she is in love Tomorrow her man is a pain on her neck, One minute she is your friend The other minute you are a stranger I think i know why... She is like you, she is human! She may not live long enough To defend all her flaws Or brag about her perfections But I can tell you a few things about her... Some she isn’t proud of But others she wouldn’t change Just to please a crowd She has a beautiful heart To complement her warm smile But she has a temper too Which beats that of a betrayed woman She is opinionated But still a good listener. But an insensitive word... Hurts her like a sharp sword. So, if you haven’t met her, Now you know something about her Do I need write more? Oh yes, tomorrow i will write, and the day after Maybe about you, or about my shoe or the trees Everyday I will write. C@P2013   September 4, 2013 at 8:53pm

The shoes of a dead man For you to walk And his blade For you to **** Every page vanished And every memory But not the paper upon which it was written And the dust Under which it was hidden Traces of direction Windblown A new future Waiting for ripples to die To see the reflection And the form That must be overcome In the eyes of others To determine need Though not enough In the eyes of others To speak Or live in silence To write Or to think For who would listen Or learn From a man wearing a dead man’s shoes? Because they are not wearing them Only you The blasphemy of discarding his past But saving his presence Is only for you to know The willful generation The one that learns from the past But lives for the future While others Ignore the past And die before they say amen But not the man walking in a dead man’s shoes Inside a book Inside another book Choosing the prophecy That fits his needs But not the worlds Because they wouldn’t understand Even if it was written in their language Nobody can understand Except the man walking in a dead man’s shoes He knows death And every word is life So he reads And prays And does not bring who he is Because he is not the book He is only the man walking in a dead man’s shoes He cannot hear anything Or see color Only the desperation that fills the void Between men And their confusion That he is unafraid And able to walk between people Without explanation Or justification Because they wouldn’t understand Nobody can understand Except the man walking in a dead man’s shoes So don’t ask Don’t ask You do not know how to ask Or what to do with wisdom They are just words Words that amaze you But cannot change you Because to you they are words To him they only describe An approximation A sketch Of smoke From a fire That you cannot see Or feel Not like him Because you are not a man wearing a dead man’s shoes It is much worse than you think Because you won’t confront it You are insensitive Dehumanized The only ones worth living must believe as you do Thoughts are life to you Certain thoughts Thoughts that may be right or may be wrong Thoughts that cannot be described by one man the same as another But thoughts that he will not speak Because he is walking in a dead man’s shoes Without the blade For he does not come to you by the sword For separation is only by choice His alone Without bloodshed Without the desire of what you have For he is not a thief He will live without it He will never take it For his interest is not in what you have But in what he can earn And what is provided As it is given by the world As it is described In the prophecy That best fits his needs Because he is a man walking in a dead man’s shoes

There is a time in a person's life when that internal clock will ring when a higher force will wake us from our slumber with a sting having been given individual trials, we hope we'll do our best but we are insensitive, overcome with laziness, a desire for rest The little things in life, how so often we take them for granted quickly losing touch with reality, and becoming disenchanted thinking we can forge relationships, with the blinking of an eye failing to feel the hurt we cause others, with our final good-bye We, as human beings, must first come to acknowledge the truth the problems we all hide in our closet, they started in our youth but the error of our thinking, is clear and can only be addressed when we're willing to accept the fact, that this life is only a test Attempts at self denial are truly futile, because you remain unchanged accomplishing nothing, only from yourself will you become estranged an endless light of healing must be released, to that location unknown thereby removing that which blocks our thinking, our heart of stone Your mind is your cage, only if you desire, you can set yourself free don't believe in the lies you're told, you can be what you want to be if you never give up, you alone will be able to preserve the true way by choosing your destiny, no one else will, because this is your day Liberate yourself from the enslavement, transitory passions of the day either stand up to the pressures, or you'll just find yourself blown away you must trust your heart as it knows the truth, and it alone will succeed choosing the only real path, that path from where the light shall proceed

They say that lightning strikes are one in a million. Then how is it that every time you hold my hand or stare into my blushing face, that a jolt, of pure electricity runs through our shared connection, bound in tiny intricacies in our veins, restless in our hearts, our minds? I would love to believe that, that lightning only strikes at impossible odds- but I can't, not while I am touching you; my own heart is a live wire and jumping into my throat with the raw voltage coursing through me- terrifying, exhilarating, breathtaking- and belies the science I know will disagree with me. It can never know the passion of traveling at love's breakneck speed believing in someone else, trusting them to catch you when you burn up or to push you up when you can't remember the light. It could never know the terrible loss of energy when the one you love hurts, speared by insensitive sparks. It could never know life in all its tiny fractured facets, believing that one answer is all that is needed- that lightning is impossible to contain. I laugh at the sheer ludicrousness though- Me? A human lightning strike? ABSURD. But you take my hand again, promising so many good moments ahead, so many beautiful ideas and dreams together, and my heart leaps- flying and flipping in ecstasy- and I know- Lightning strikes are one in a million, and I was lucky enough to be struck by yours.

*You're a trifling piece of **** excuse for a woman…… Mommy Dearest Don't play the role now, where were you when you were needed, when you left me around whoever and I wanted to go with you, when I begged and pleaded. Mommy Dearest You turned your head when you knew....I was in the other room, being molested. And of course it's nothing new, that you played dumb and never confessed it Mommy Dearest A high was more important, assisted with your cruel insensitive nature. Shady willow tree in the summer, cold as the arctic glaciers. Mommy Dearest As far as I'm concerned we know I raised myself. So think of me as dead and expect nothing on the 12th…… .....Mommy Dearest*

A Mother's Intuition
Shipwrecked heart Sea of betrayals Misconceived idioms, Blindly enslaved. Was it really worth it anyway? Fighting with hope;  a lost battle. Fallible carcasses on a wooden platter. Poisonous Ivy in my veins; silent heartbeat bursting into flames. Time is a thief, buried beneath the sea. Was it really worth the wait? Fighting for love; a lost cause. Permeable holes in an empty cup. Troubling nature, impatient thoughts. Infected, Standing aloof. Leveled indifference, taciturn blind goof. Lost chance; misleading poker glance. Arms twisted, magnificent ache. Ashes corroding the mechanical brain. Bloodbath, besieged wound. Abrasive torture, revealing the truth. Cursed fortune; insensitive to pain. Piercing a bullet through the soul, expressed disdain. Adamant rapture with no return. Imprisoned belief with no more fire to burn. By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Rotting Away
you are the single most difficult thing i've ever had the curse of caring for you're confusing and secretive and indecisive and insensitive and the way you treat me, no one ever deserves to be treated and at one point i fell hard so so hard yet i knew that they were just games but why did it seem like i could never win? it frustrated me like hell because when i compete, i win what the hell made you so special that you could beat me in every single battle? that i was willing to lose the war to you? then i became angry i wanted to take sweet revenge my heart became cold and it yearned to break yours ...or I thought it did you're like that stray piece of hair that never seems to stay where it should you dont know where you stand in my life yet you still barge in like you own it and up to today i ask myself why do i let you? you are nothing great you are nothing special you are nothing to me and i know that i'm probably lying to myself but you should know that although im a superwoman whom you're stupid not to love i'm getting tired too and you, my kryptonite, i will soon be immune to because darling i think i'm finally tired of loving you
