"interacted" poems
In a time, when men were the superheroes, born in an unconventional location, a young girl, unknown to the future she was destined to, was born with a uniqueness unfound in all people, a superpower of empathy and as she grew, the world knew she was imbued as a living embodiment of legends: Athena's wisdom, beauty that surpassed the goddess Aphrodite, conversational skills that made Hermes envious, and strength that Hercules could never attain. As she approached an age, when her parents would trust her to be guardian, her powers manifested. This incredible child was now a woman. With the ability to heal those in need: she could expunge poison that had afflicted a person, even their hearts, a God-given gift for those most sacred; her correspondences exponentially developed, able to connect in all languages, fueled by her empathetic nature, this allowed all who interacted with her to trust her for she radiates sincerity. Now, fully grown, this super-no- This Wonder Woman had retired her duties to save the world, not forsake it, but, to train Wonder Girl, her daughter, to unlock the latent abilities her mother had passed on to her. She still looks up at the Higher Power and realizes her duty to provide the world justice is not over but only beginning. Her holy spirit was not unacknowledged and was gifted a bulletproof bracelet, forged by the most skilled craftsman by direction of all that is wise and healing. Given to her to wear so that nothing could halt her as she continues her fate to provide the world a humanity that could only come from an intrinsically true dear heart.

Sweet Tea wrote 3 months after I turned 15, 2018 Before you, I was a girl devastated by things I couldn’t change Trapped in an endless bitter reality from which there was no escape Sinking into a dark, spiraling well, from which I reached my hands and found a pool of light You were my light, a haloed sunshine angel, who graced me with his presence for what seemed so long and ended so abruptly The sound of your voice seemed to be honey, so sweet, attracting the bees, attracting me My sunshine sweetheart, angel lover You’ve done your time so now you can leave Why would you want to stay with me? I’m only a cement brick that will bring you down A loose thread that will tear you down, a yammering parakeet who will wear you down One time you told me that I thought too highly of you How couldn’t I? With someone who made me feel so confident with my body, somebody who praised me, someone who thought I was worth their time at least for the time being In a way it’s better that you left, you’ll never be forced to see what I had to see looking in the mirror hating every inch of myself, hating the way I acted, and the way I interacted with everyone and hating the way no one seemed to like me But you liked me, but it’s better this way because I’m a letdown It’s Like when you thought you had bought sweet tea But it’s actually unsweetened The new version Sweet Tea wrote 1 month before my 18 birthday, 2021 Before you, I was a girl alone Being molested every day by the people who said they would take care of me I was a fourteen-year-old girl who was taught at a young age to get yourself a man to save you So I tried everything to keep you because talking to you distracted me from the fact my fourty-year-old stepdad was touching me But what I definitely didn’t need was a twenty-year-old man messaging me Telling me all the things he wanted to do to me When the law would finally unclaim me and allow me to give someone a part of me he doesn’t deserve You made me feel so much more alone Somebody who told me he’d touch me But instead of giving me what I’ll need he’ll leave “Lick me up like an ice cream cone” huh Luke? yes I thought highly of you Because you made it seem like you’d never hurt me You were the biggest disappointment You always will be

I think there are parts of our lives that we can't possibly know the meaning of until we are months or even years removed. I'm talking inconsequential moments that snowball, gathering up value over time. Then you look back, and suddenly you are just so surprised at how many actions interacted perfectly, the necessary amalgamation of happenings to bring about one exact minute. I'm glad to have had this experience the second you walked up. At that time I could never have possibly known I would be here today. Never guess you would have such an impact on my life, knocking an avalanche into my world, leaving me gasping for breath, showing me what it means to exist.

as I left the theatre she held the door open for me the hint of a smile on lip-sticked lips slipping into her leather jacket to combat the cold night air leaving an intoxicating trace of perfume I'm just a face in the crowd that she never noticed or will remember " cheers " and an attempted smile as we interacted for the only time in our lives, but I miss her she stole my lust and a youth I never had

I cannot give what I do not have. I had it once. I was created/born with it (I think). I lost it, first time diagnosed, Most recent when insane, Do NOT lose trust in your own mind, I cannot give what I do not have..... My own mind......... Doubt asks multiple questions, I have zero percent answers now, I know once it gets to less than zero The negative space will have won..... And I will have changed....... But without your current positive space Within negative space I cannot Continue with you. ......here we are and I am friends With Doubt....... I face everyone everyday....... (lots of dots - no negative signs except for this break previously) Face with Doubt - acceptance, reluctance, no choice - ance :-) I Learn to question every thought and re-question the motivation behind, Behind (no mistake) the thought (but my mind slows, I know) If motivation is OK/acceptable (i.e. non harming - i injured/destroyed insects on the steps to my current housing - I tried avoidance but without guarantee - drink helps ease this guilt also) Then if the thought will not result in negative spacial harm ( I have no way of quantify-ing this until after the fact but it helps future decision making - (when I can remember :-( ) but again i lack future projection skills - anyone who reads this with whom I have never physically interacted with - how am I (i) supposed to know the difference/change - too many ****ing strange coincedences in my life have helped my current world environment view - but I digress - maybe i should end this :-) - night night (in Eire) and no more beer :-) listening to 'nice' (personal intrepretation) music now - stop typin....... )

Borrowed Bodies
I saw the best minds of my generation Brutally isolated from those around them Surrounded by series of boxes Some meant to relay Some meant to contain All passively made to control And past all of these boxes we can see The place where the grass is greener Where the trees are taller and stronger Where the animals live We call that place wilderness Some say we used to call it home Some others say that when we did Life was nasty Brutish Short Well Many of these days I would prefer that to Long Meaningless Alienated But it really depends on ones perspective See the problem with Civilization is that somewhere down the line someone has to take the full force of the trauma Whether that’s indigenous people Robbed of their land Forced to work in Rare Earth Mineral mines Or sweatshop factories in foreign countries Or Facebook content moderators in Arizona Forced to be subjected to violent murders and graphic *********** Their bathroom breaks are monitored They are ordered to stop praying if it takes too long All so your racist uncle can share news articles from PatriotPress.com And people who haven’t interacted with you in years can wish you a happy birthday This is the price we pay for our convenience This is the passive acceptance that our comfort is more valuable than their lives I heard that the first megamachine was made with human parts Now we witness that machine cannibalize itself What is the alternative to this concrete techno-Hell? I hope that one day we cast off this Leviathan whose tentacles wrap around our necks To live a life of lower standards but higher meanings and ambitions To live simply With nature and not at its expense It’s not a past to return to But a future we fight for Where the grass will be greener But only because We let it grow

I don't wish for many things from others. But I do wish the most from myself. I wish I could play the guitar, the piano, the ukulele, the violin, the cello; as many instruments as I possibly can. I wish I had amazing grades, like 90's and 100's on all of my educational classes; and that I had joined the PAP and AP courses sooner in order to impress colleges and universities. I wish I was more slim than I am now, and that I had attractive curves - not as in oversized ******* but as in nice curves on my stomach, legs and arms. I wish I was pretty, as in big beautiful and attractive eyes, soft and colored (not pale) lips, clear skin free of acne and ****** hair, long and luscious and silky hair, soft skin, and a cute nose. I wish I was a nice sister, one who didn't ignore her siblings, who interacted with them and got along with them greatly. I wish I was an amazing daughter and family member, one who didn't argue and wasn't distant from her parents, who visited her family members frequently and was sociable with them all. I wish I had the best personality, one that didn't ignore her friends and family, one that always made people smile and laugh, one that was sweet & nice to everyone, one that was perfect. I wish I was perfect. Too bad they're all wishes.

My Wish List
It's just so hard to keep existing Can't keep the walls up, Because it's hard to do that alone, And everyone can see That I'll always be stuck on the outside, From being too quiet And too alone. I know I have to stay, But I really want to go. How I "manage" is by finding ways Of waiting till it's over. I know I'll have to be trapped in a room, Full of many others. Everyone expects me to talk, Without thinking I will only be distraught. I don't feel people looking at me, Unlike I've heard people say, Instead I just get this harsh feeling of dread That I can't be there any longer. My insides feel torn, Because I just have this feeling I can't explain to you. All I can say is that I could never feel worse. I want to escape but this is my curse. I'd love to be able to talk to you guys, But I'm afraid I feel I am breaking inside. So just don't talk to me And don't look close either, And if I'm staring into space, Then I don't want to be here. If I'm supposed to be social: Then I don't know what to say, My heart will feel like it's floating away. Heart palpitations are not what I seek, Although I still happen to get them most weeks. It's hard enough, To wake up and think: Today I have to get up And surround myself with too many people and lost dreams. I want to be social. I would wish for it, And sometimes I do, But it doesn't seem like it will ever come true. My longed for ambitions shall never be complete, For they require social abilities Which I cannot meet. When I manage the simplest things, That no one else has to think about, I am just completely amazed at myself; Like someone saying hello to me, The fact that it happens And responding back, However after that one encounter, I feel as though it's drained me, Because I had just interacted With another human being.

We are ****** into the reflective pools of narcissism that we hang on the walls, pushing us further into the millions of personalized tunnels of vanity that lead to self-obsession and greed and ignorance. These tunnels are separated by thin pieces of glass, through which the world and others existing in it can be easily observed and interacted with if we choose to. For some reason, though, we don't. We are hypnotized by the images of ourselves. We are fascinated with the way we feel, not paying mind to how others emote. "Listen to learn and understand, not just to respond."

Vanity pt 1
The car ride is normal, simple and polite. But we smile the whole way, pretending not to care, taking advantage of the light. So here we are on the way to 'LARP', you upset, yet I'm even worse. True the joke was funny, the rest of the group knew...and when they saw you their smiles simply grew. You asked for a fountain, they pointed the way, and once you were out of earshot they couldn't help but say... ''He has no idea does he?'' Kurei asked with a big broad smile. ''He's going to have one hell of a game'' Garrus claimed with a padded blade. "He'll never know what hit him." Umbrus chimed as he unlatched his swords. I sigh and smile at them each and said, "Lets just start this game." How does the line go? Stab me in the face you're **** out of luck... stab me in the back you're.....? The game begins, I avoid you like the plague. I wouldn't even fight you with in distance of a hand grenade. If I ever interacted with you, it was simply to sing a song. My simple Siren Song paralyzed you and left you to the mercy of my friends. I myself never attacked or 'killed you' I wouldn't even dare...The one time I 'took your arm' you whined like no one was there. "Why did you hurt me?" you asked foolishly, true with a smile, but why ask at this game? "You're my enemy," Avexi snapped, not even me. Oh how when I have the chance...I can be so mean. The game continued, you couldn't keep alive, you still had fun though- some how you tried. You always tried to come at me, you always tried to attack. Thank the lords Umbrus and Kurei always had my back. Finally the game was over, and the whole team knew the line. They kept back from smiling, kept back every time. 'You stab me in the face, you're **** out of luck...You stab me in the back... I bring you to LARP!'

I have wandered among these sidewalks for lifetimes, I have made a home out of busy sidewalks and small patches of dying grass I meander with past friends in the middle of empty roads, With no destination in mind. I’ve lived amongst thousands of others, We pass each other daily Greeting each other with shy smiles and a brief nod To part and never unite again I have interacted with this city through the earth I walk its roads until I can no longer feel my legs, And I shall continue Until I have mapped out every inch of my home This city consists of my raw emotions; I will always carry this city with me No matter which new streets I may roam, No matter which new sidewalks I may take solace in.

The thing is, all her heart knew how to do was love. It thrived on it, fed on it, was addicted to it. It explored all of its elusive definitions Basked in the all-consuming existence of it in her surroundings She'd see it in the way lovers looked at each other when it was true - she could spot that look anywhere. She'd hear it in the laughter between best friends, "soulmates" When a gift was given unexpectedly, or a flower picked She felt love in the trees and flowers she observed, In the way birds and other animals interacted with each other. She knew exactly what love is, and what it was not - She learned that the hard way, unfortunately. But, she couldn't catch it, she was never, at the right place or at the right time. So, she locked up her heart, stored it in a safe place where it could no longer be broken.

Sometimes we hold on to things that just don't exist anymore Friendships because of shared memories Acquaintances because of networking potential People in general who once were around, but no longer there Is it because we want to keep our memories alive? Keep the bonds and connections we have? Why do we long for bonds? Why do we hold on to every possibility that came our way? Unfortunately in life people grow apart We drift away for an array of reasons Some because our commonality is no longer there Others because of the notion when out of sight, your out of mind Social media has given a false sense of friendship Just because it says we are "Friends" , doesn't always ring true When was the last time we had a meaningful conversation? Could you remember a birthday without being notified? Technology has brought us closer, but with consequence We have lost that human touch We hide behind the our cell phones, computers, and tablets We forget how to interact with another human being face to face This by no means negates the position influence of technology People we would have never interacted with, because of distance We just need to redesign the human element in those interactions Friendship has become a loosely used word That we forget its meaning Although most would agree we define it differently Just as opinions are subject to interpretation Friendship, as well, is subject to interpretation Friendship is about harmony and understanding The ability to share without judgement To relate to things, even if you cannot understand Being there for each other verbally or face-to-face Sadly if a "friend" cannot fit into your personal definition Are they truly a friend? Do you become so anxious to keep the friend flame alive?

Burning Bridges
Sometimes we hold on to things that just don't exist anymore Friendships because of shared memories Acquaintances because of networking potential People in general who once were around, but no longer there Is it because we want to keep our memories alive? Keep the bonds and connections we have? Why do we long for bonds? Why do we hold on to every possibility that came our way? Unfortunately in life people grow apart We drift away for an array of reasons Some because our commonality is no longer there Others because of the notion when out of sight, your out of mind Social media has given a false sense of friendship Just because it says we are "Friends" , doesn't always ring true When was the last time we had a meaningful conversation? Could you remember a birthday without being notified? Technology has brought us closer, but with consequence We have lost that human touch We hide behind the our cell phones, computers, and tablets We forget how to interact with another human being face to face This by no means negates the position influence of technology People we would have never interacted with, because of distance We just need to redesign the human element in those interactions Friendship has become a loosely used word That we forget its meaning Although most would agree we define it differently Just as opinions are subject to interpretation Friendship, as well, is subject to interpretation Friendship is about harmony and understanding The ability to share without judgement To relate to things, even if you cannot understand Being there for each other verbally or face-to-face Sadly if a "friend" cannot fit into your personal definition Are they truly a friend?

When deep down you know it has already died We must re-evaluate on what friendship means to us, to you What friendship means to another person Understand that when one friendship dies Another can rise within its flames Just under new definition Bridges burn all the time Just like in the journey of life The road is always under construction New bridges can always be formed and connected

i scanned the room and wondered silently how many of these people would care if i died, how many would come to my funeral, what kind of things they would say about me if i ceased to exist. i sat by myself watching them all the handsome talented boys interacted with the other handsome talented boys all the dilettantes interacted with the other dilettantes, and all the other people just interacted with the other people. they made it look so easy, so comfortable, so almost fun. so impossible i became so far removed from myself i could hardly breathe i was watching the people and all i could think of was how badly i wanted death perhaps not literal death, but i wanted desperately to **** the part of me that would never be like the people, the part of me they don't understand. the separated part. it's an illness. so i sat alone in a bathroom stall waiting for the next musician to start wondering when he would call me up on stage so i could sing and leave. the stage is the only place i feel at peace. i don't have to talk for them i only need to sing for me. they were everywhere, i was surrounded by them i sat alone, watching them watching them unable to complete a single sentence or feeling of any kind.

watching them
Parents arranged my marriage with a girl. I liked her at first sight—young and chirpy. And I made up my mind to marry her soon. In the followup to the marriage, We interacted with each other, In the beginning, I liked her. Soon, courtship turned one-sided, I was the only one interested, Insulting me, she started. She had a problem with quick love. Berated me for saying it so soon, She told me to behave mature. I accepted her remarks, The criticism of my ways, I focused on all my means. I proudly told her that I didn't give up. The coma-inducing accident, and Injuries couldn't reduce me. I told her about how I literally won a war, A war against time and disability, The doctors labeled me as 42% challenged. "But I didn't give up," I told her. I defeated my disability, And all of their speculations. When I passed into that coma, After the accident, I'd die, They had speculated. When they diagnosed me 42%, I will do some easier work, They all had guessed. They wanted me to drop out of college, Oh, they want me to be humble, Be humble and accept fate. Not that the other job is easier, But they wanted me to set up a shop, For daily needs, stationery & photocopy. Even my mother wanted me to drop out. Leave the B.Tech. Biotech incomplete, Opt for an easier course instead. But I told her that I didn't give up, No, I did not; I did not give up. I fought my way to the top. I cleared my B.Tech. degree in Biotechnology, Not only that degree, but my story continues, Attained an M.Tech. in Animal Biotechnology. I initiated a PhD in Animal Biotechnology, However, I had to quit it due to COVID19, I lost my opportunity due to the pandemic. But she, out of her own regret, Regretted about not being able, To clear exams, me she insulted. "People with disability achieve more." I felt belittled, but she continued, "They even crack UPSC-CSE." I'm not disabled since birth. No, I'm not, I'm not, I told her. This disability I acquired in 2010. I told her the same, But she did not realise it. How wrong she was. How she had insulted me and my struggles, I can't marry her, The man I am today is after my struggles. Though she loved my poetry, The 'Angel?' Saga the most, But she insulted my history. She even compared my life against others. As if she knows all the people like me, My dreams shattered due to that accident. No, she knows everyone not, She doesn't know others who gave up. Look at me; I didn't give up, but I'm victorious. But she was not impressed. She is rigid and argumentative. Never going to apologise & accept. I told her mother that I couldn't marry her. Why? Because she doesn't know humility. Obviously, she can never respect me either. She wanted me to respect her. She thought that only hers matters. Because I live in the inferiority complex.

We are all drops in the ocean, We create ripples in the water, Waves to the shore, And tsunamis to the town. We don't hold anything close to us, But the people that we love. And as it seems where we stand now We only affect ourselves, But if we look a bit closer, We're setting fire to the rain. Our tiny moves and actions Aren't affecting only our souls alone, But the God in heaven as well. And that just simply isn't all. For we are also slightly affecting The ones that are close to us, The ones we claim to love. And so if we want to see The affect we have today, Look at each individual That you have interacted with, And don't just simply look at Your selfish simple heart.

From the top of the steep sloping green hills they sat relaxed on horseback to marvel in awe at the natural beauty of unspoilt land uncorrupted by the destruction of progress taking away the virginity of the landscape where creatures safely interacted unharmed by callous hands in pursuit of immoral gain the countryside balance they did not retain! With no tall grotesque buildings to sully the view nor chimneys from factories that regularly spewed more deadly toxins to choke our lungs then the air above clear from human impregnation from more suspected elements of depopulation weather harsh but the seasons were well defined there before pollution and technology encased our lives and the nightmare future to face! #TheFoureyedPoet.

Nothing you said makes me happier Not “I love you” Not “I miss you” Not the sweet words, The secret language You used with only The girls filled with hate Now I think, to this day That nothing you say Could ever make me happier Nothing you said makes me happier Not “Come over” Not “Come closer” Not the proofread lines, Carefully exacted For the time you just left Me to wander, distracted Alone in a crowd We no longer interacted That didn't make me happier Nothing you said makes me happier Not “We need a break” Not “I'm moving away” The looks that you gave Or the way you berate, Not even a whisper Of lie and debate Will make me happier Than when you told me “I'll be dead by forty.”

Nothing You Said Makes Me Happier
If the quantum is foaming Roaming space for a chance to manifest Lest it neglect to collapse in on itself Then who am I To negate the hypothesis That life is ineffable Interfering with the pattern That would have else entangled me Instead, I find myself a wave function Undetermined until interacted with Insignificant until observed Who am I to challenge That everything is energy Rising through the ranks of probability A wavelength contracting   An equation waiting to materialize Who am I to doubt That uncertainty is anything less Than a superposition   A potential to fill The vacuum to the brim With vibrations that extend far beyond the evidence Fluctuations fulfilling a destiny   Of singularity A momentum to make matter matter

Pt. 1 then I've needed to go but I decided you were more important to me Maybe sometime if you read this you'll know what it all means I like to be vague as a joke but for you I hope it's clear to see what you mean to me. I meet a lot of people and I tell them their the best, but there is something I notice about you that is different from the rest I knew you were cool, and beautiful from the start But what was even more appealing was your heart. Someday I hope you're in a place that's truly happy in this life and in this world, will it ever be? Oh how much I hope that it'll be I mean every word but there's so much more for me to say, and I hope I find a way to do it somehow, someway And I'll strive forever to do the best I can to continue improving myself as a man For you and this beautiful cruel world I'll do the best I can Just let me know what I can do to make you smile To fix your world and make it brighter if even for a while And I might fail but I'll strive to do it perfectly, all for you I've seen the pictures of wires across you and your face And I knew instantly you were never meant to be in that place Oh how I wished to rescue you and take all your pain away Let me take your pain away Pt. 2 now And yes that's all very real, very much how I used to feel. And still I'm a little embarrassed to say rereading this felt so surreal But I'm an emotional person, and these feelings tend not to last. But half of that is how much we interacted after you coming back. I know you made an effort, just like how I did. And to think otherwise would be stupid. And I thought I was connected, but connections don't work one-way, and now this is the price I have to pay. I know I helped you some, not nearly as much as I'd have liked. And I can only help what's in sight. Maybe it's that you might have hid, probably not what you did. But all things I got to consider at least once in my head. Can't help what we are now, maybe you'll need me another time. And if you do remember you're still a welcome friend of mine. And again this is very real, and now this is how I feel. Again I'm a smarter person and I hope you too are mostly healed. I know a bit of what you've been up to, I got friends with a snap so it hasn't been hard to figure out. I just wonder if you've any guilt, but that's something I doubt. You're not too stupid a person, after all of your life I am sure. But right now do you know of any goal you're going for? I know I'm not the only one to think this, just someone thinking of you right now. Still hoping that soon you'll be happy somehow.

Hey uhm so therr's this guy who I knew in primary school (sort of like middle school for those of you who live in the US). Now I'm in secondary school (high school) and I follow him to instagram and Twitter and stuff and recently he's been talking about need someone to talk to about life and I really want to help him but I haven't talked to him or interacted with him in YEARS. So, I don't exactly know how to approach this. Sorry if you felt that this was a waste of time. I couldn't ask my friends or family because I know they wouldn't understand and they would jump to the comclusion that I want to get into a reltionship with him when I just want to reach out as a friend. So erm please advise( if you can) and Thanks!!! :))

Problem (needs actual advice)
You have got my heart stuck in a moment of bliss, If my voice doesn't speak My thoughts they will leak on to bleached paper. Behind the covers of this spiral notebook lays my hidden secrets and treasures .. Chained to their pages These tears are my imprints in my life Theses very heartstrings are the fibers that keep my soul interacted!
