"monstrosity" poems
Kapag ang lupa'y nag-alay na ng huling hininga, Alalahanin mo yaong sayo'y sumamo ng tiwala, Humimbing ka sa mga nalabing labi ng karumalan, Ilubog mo ang sarili sa pusod ng kawalan. Tama kaibigan, ito na nga ang kamatayan. Death When the earth has breathed its last, Remember the people who gained your trust Then, sleep  with the ruins this monstrosity has created Plunge yourself in deep desolation Yes my dear friend, this is no longer an illusion.

Kamatayan
Lollipops to cigarettes Cooties turned to pregnancy The cute little girls and boys we once knew at recess are no more, some are drop outs, some are on the news for ****** and others have seemed to disappear from existence How did this happen? How did the life we knew so well as children, filled with jump rope and four square, turn into the monstrosity of modern society The drama now is about boys, drugs, and flunking school, the only so called 'drama' back then was when someone else had the blue crayon you needed to finish your color by number Computers, televisions, and phones take over the lives of children nowadays, the big pass times when we were kids was to go back in the woods behind our houses and catch salamander, play hide and seek and cops and robbers when it started to get dark Now? It's lying to your parents to go out and get drunk, skipping class to go smoke **** and and turning the lollipop in your mouth into a cigarette Did you ever consider that the lollipop tastes better? That maybe this sticky strawberry mess gives you a better outlook on life? When you're a kid and you're happy with your crayons and hopscotch you don't care what problems you're faced with: if someones lost; find them, if someone's feelings are hurt; say sorry, if you wanna lose weight; lose it This lollipop of yours has turned an upside-down world right-side-up again creating brighter perspectives and healthier pass times So instead of curling our fingers around disgusting cancer sticks and pregnancy tests, maybe we should grab hold of that lollipops taste and lever let go...so the only downfall to life, is cavities.

I woke up, panic attack in full swing. This wasn't right. He wasn't supposed to win. This wasn't supposed to happen! Morning call to my best friend, we're sobbing into each other's phones. We fear. We fear because we're not cis or heterosexual. We fear for our brothers, sisters, and siblings lacking a title. I fear for what will become of the country I live in. I promise I wouldn't stand for my country's flag any more as long as he is our "president". I can't respect someone who is accused of ****** a 13 year old girl. He is no man, he was a joke for the Internet to feed off of, until it became too serious and real. Until the day youths of the LGBTQ+ community woke up terrified for their lives because his Vice President would favor having a dead child rather than a gay child, until the day Muslim women questioned if they should wear their hijab anymore because they feared retaliation for their religion from xenophobes, until the day the the chance of hate crimes seemed like a more likely answer for bigots because someone isn't white, until the day laughs of mockery turned into tears of fright. This monstrosity may only be with us for four years, but a hell of a lot can happen in four years. I don't trust this person to run our country, I don't feel safe. I feel exposed and abandoned by the rights I was promised. I wish to join hands with everyone else who is in my position, and let this sink in until the day in January comes, where he gets his wish, and is finally in control.

What truly is the definition of righteousness? Is it determined by act or by mind? They say a good man fights for justice, peace, and prosperity. But then, can a man of such moral truly remain so if he turns to violence as an answer? Does his intent to create marvels render him of moral status though his methods may empower death and promote war? Oh, this man is peaceful himself, taking letters instead of bullets to battle but his lyrics dislodge society in a manner not all approve and so begins combat. Can this soul carry such holy title, if the repercussions of his strung together words are strung up necks? Or is the good man the one who turns away from the world's fight to be his own embodiment of ethical beauty? For the one who remains silent causes no direct pain; he himself is passive and tranquil and moves to inspire such conduct in others without commanding it. But his silence encourages fierce vehemency and wildness. Does this fact not taint his name? The first man had pure intent, but with his tongue he spit sparks which others used to ignite a fire and burn the world. The second did not fight himself but his chosen hush could never end the blood rain, and so his lack of sharp verbosity allowed knives to flash and blood to spill. So I will ask again, what determines morality? Though this time with a grounding response; morals define morality. Each man's mind renders his own flawless ideal individually, and so one's perfection will always be another's monstrosity. In truth? There are no good men, or at least not one to all.

There's a person I don't speak about I try to push them from my mind But there's a self-control drought I can't leave the past behind They introduced me to something dark Something steeped in despair And when the knife hit its mark When I needed help, they weren't there It began as curiosity But grew into monstrosity Now our friendship is spent All I can do is resent The person who ruined my life Who showed me what you can do with a knife

The Person
Abigail slides the glass door shut. As beads of water percolate off her body and land on the faux stone tile, the smell of chlorine from her swim and the smell of coffee from my brewing *** blend. My uncle, Abigail's father, and my mother are seated at the sticky, spilt soda kitchen table beside me. "Go get ready for dinner," my mother's brother says, sending Abigail's bikini'd frame through doorway and around the bend. The brew idles, and I'm all porcelain and sugar substitute for a moment, then back by my uncle and mother. "Abigail has gotten so thin," my mother says. "Is she eating?" my mother asks. "I know it's tough for girls her age. When they're looking to marry," my mother says. I want to bash the smoking cup into her face. My uncle says she's been training for a marathon. My neurons get tidy and taper off. So, it's out of the kitchen and into an empty living room to park my *** on an empty piano bench. I set the coffee on top, and press eight of my fingers down on black keys. I hear toes-to-heels, toes-to-heels. I gaze over my shoulder. Now, Abigail's in a black, black dress. Mid-thigh. In her left hand, red fuck-me-shoes with a heel that could turn a curious man blind; in her right hand, black pantyhose and cherry lipgloss. "You should have swam," Abigail delivers with hushed precision, like she'd been reciting the line throughout the duration of her swim. Abigail has long brunette hair, and it's sticking to her neck. Deep permanent dimples frame her lips. She's a nurse in Waco. Each time I see her, I think about Bukowski's 103-pound "Texan". It makes me rash, violent, a heady monstrosity, and trembling sick. "I forgot my trunks." "That's no excuse." I would respond, but she's sliding the hose up her leg. In the living room. While my uncle talks a second mortgage around the bend. Her right leg crosses her left, an overpass and an interstate. My forehead overheats in a flash, and I feel like she's staring back at me. When my leering eyes shift from her toes to her eyes, the pupils beckon: "All roads lead to me."

Love hard, my friends. Love noticeably. Love does not deserve to be shoved under the rug, to be disguised, or to be quieted. Love does not mean conforming to the idea that genuine affection is “sappy,” “cheesy,” or “cringeworthy”; instead-- love loudly. The world wants to tell you that relationships are to be silenced. That posting multiple photographs of each other is tacky, uncomfortable, and something to make fun of. That devoting time with your favorite human being is disgusting, overbearing-- especially when you are young and the future does not exist in your hands. Too bad, future. And how unfortunate, world. Because at the end of the day, the world does not own love. You do. It is yours to have, to keep, to share, and to do whatever it takes to hold onto it. It is mine. When you find love, shout it from the rooftops and frame a million photographs. Post selfies of the two of you smiling wide and unwavering. Wear its colors on your face and shamelessly declare it to the whole universe and beyond: You are in love. You are alive. And likewise, this is my philosophy: Love intentionally, fiercely, tirelessly. Love so hard it makes people dizzy. Take it as a compliment. In an exhausted world that spins with violence, hatred, and monstrosity-- praise its joys. Snap those pictures.Tell your friends. Scrapbook it, publish it, make art out of it. Laugh about it, display it, live it. Put an end to the grotesque concept that something so beautiful, perhaps life’s most magnificent, should be sheltered. Let it grow. This is a declaration. I am boisterously in love. There is no quiet here. One day, you will find someone or something that your heart will never be able to shut up about. And that’s okay. Let it scream.

Step aside and let the others have their way but what about you? A doormat on the muddiest of days for everyone's messy shoes? After you my dear I insist The door wide open to my heart you missed Your chance to come inside and have a seat Instead you'd rather be alone saying you need someone to be with I'd even ask to see you, you tell me you're beat Bed time, but you're online stalking When we could be talking But hey, I'm nobody special just a normal dude Just remember one thing I tried to always be there for you

Generosity Monstrosity
You float through air that doesn't care The air you share that isn't fair The air that makes me think we're a pair I wound up in your wind tunnel Not understanding it's singular funnel When you were there I glided through air But then you had to fly As I fell from the sky Cursing your absent kind You swept me off my feet With your tornado broom Until you were complete In sealing my doom Your wind carries loneliness With a scent of love I recognized the phoniness In the flight of doves Your hypnotic breeze Put my mind at ease Until you began to tease Whispering wild winds into my ears My hurricane head hammered with fears Of the intensity of the high velocity Of your elemental wind monstrosity For it brings powerful gusts of sorrow When it's your oxygen I must borrow If I hope to see tomorrow Your air is cold My heart's not bold And begins to fold Under the weight of your wind My mind is giving in And my eyes start to make clouds form When your absence creates a lonely storm

You know I keep it caged, Deep inside me. I always did so well, At keeping it quiet. Nobody ever had to know, About this monstrosity, Right beneath the surface. I keep my face straight. Not a smile or a cry. I'm constantly reminded, To keep it well inside. I always did so well too, Till the night I lost control. The monster from inside, My own Pandora's box. The monster's not inside, Will never sleep again. This monster on the inside, Called emotion.

Fateful Night
Oh this feeling of utter alienation This endless road trip without a destination Trapped inside this metal monstrosity of a car I feel like we haven't made it very far Constantly around the same round about Enshrouded in fog made of doubt I'm endlessly confined Within the labyrinth of my mind Shifting corridors, dark spaces Constant bombardment of familiar faces I gaze out the tinted windows And try and figure what no one knows To try and bypass the security of my brain To do so and remain sane To see what cannot be seen To tap into the source of inspiration

Who is Lucifer? Who is this being we never wish to meet? Some say he was sent down from the heavens, causing mayhem in God's keep. Consuming the soul of evil, he is the creator of monstrosity, upheaval. A living lie or a horrible truth, for me and you will there ever be proof? His existence is unknown, a passenger of evil unlikely to make atone. Is it an angel, an human soul, or an evil creature? For all we know he could be following out procedure.

A dying man does nothing easy,“Lock and load. Let's do it”,said G.W. Green Right before Jack Pursley sent 3-5 grams of sodium thiopental coursing through his veins in Texas. Sticking with the states motto it was probably 5. As lethal drugs flowed into his arms, he used an obscenity to describe life, gasped once and made no further movement. Imagine his brief confidence in the face of this adversity, before the heart’s blood Settled in the ventricles. Some have called such confidence a monstrosity titled, “Hubris”-- Alexander of Macedonia thought it necessary, to cross the turbulent river against fear -ful odds. For destiny demanded imitation of his exemplar Achilles Quickly eroded was this by the pleas of Parmenio, who reasons it would be,“failure at the outset.” Imagine Alexander reciting the words of G.W. Green, instead of heeding to this squelching caution How quickly we’d throw this decisions bones in the pile, with ****** In Stalingrad & Nixon in Vietnam All to be shoved in to, a mass grave of faulted zealots. Covered with soil, bitter compost not to be forgotten Rosemary sprouts next to a burning bush in Iraq.

Hubris and History
As a child I wasn't really afraid of the dark, There weren't really monsters in my closet and the feeling of checking under my bed was never something that I had to fear, But as I grew older, I learned that the monster was always in a far away place, I learned in school that monsters didn't really exist and there was nothing I should have to fear, I grew up in a Christian home Learning that in some way I needed to be saved and I accepted that protection Learning that living in hell for eternity was worth being saved from But in my innocence I forgot about the monsters that live here As planes are crashed into buildings And snipers in cars Inciting terror upon innocence As a child in a free nation is oblivious to the fact that there is something to truly be afraid of Something that's hidden The cracks in the glass of this facade only seem to spider across the dark crevices of my brain wishing to... Wishing to be free Clawing their way up my throat Asking for forgiveness instead of permission Wishing to let go of their bonds because the only thing that's keeping them there is the thought that they could be kept at bay Brittle chains with keys in the locks and the only thing that stops them from being set free is us I've been told the eyes are the window to the soul That if you look closely you can see their thoughts and desires And demons And as it turns out I'm blind to the fact that when I try to look in the mirror That monsters won't chase me in my sleep and claw away at my soul That no one is in control of the monsters The monsters are in control of me. Humanities greatest lie is that we can save our selves. The monsters won't be free because we won't let them take control until they do And this great deception has conceived this monstrosity that nobody has seen because everyone is afraid to look inside ourselves to see how awful the wound really is We can't see our own glass houses caving in The monstrosities of this world are our own creation With homicidal tendencies and a Picasso like disposition Spraying our own blood upon this ripped apart canvas and calling it art As a child I was told monsters didn't exist That, the monsters were in a far away place They couldn't attack me in my sleep and that there was nothing to fear in this world I just didn't realize it was all in my head. As children we are afraid of the monsters under our bed Asking our parents to look under neath them for us so that they can prove that it's just our imagination, "There's nothing to be afraid of" they tell me Running to the parents room in the middle of the night to ask to stay with them because we don't grasp the reason why we are scared to begin with. I wonder if nightmares are from the monsters trying to be free Breaking out of their shackles of our parents lies telling us that monsters don't exist, That there's nothing you have to fear because the monsters can't touch you. And you as an innocent young child convince yourself that they only tell you facts because you can't comprehend that, It's all in your head, The greatest lie that the devil ever told was that he didn't exist, The second is that there are no monsters, Lying to ourselves cause we are the monsters And they lie to us so we put them off as non existent It was all... in my head. I'm gonna ask you to look in my eyes, I wonder, I wonder if you can see mine

Wilted flower, ageless in A time of frailty, never wishing For her glow to fade, but Every flower wilts over time. She was weak in sympathy Seeing everyone though her Outer shell was, of ill taste, Souring there eyes. So those of younger skin she Spat upon in hated gestures, Until she could not see beauty, Only those having what had Faded upon her over time. She was a seamstress of cloth, Fashion was in her eyes, beauty For beauty now all was bland As her image tainted, She was Upon a plan. She would take beauty from those Unworthy souls, who abused the Gift for it should be collected, Harvested, so began her crime. The first was a nose, cut off still Breathing jagged edges ruined. She slashed upon beauty as stillness Settled in there eyes. Like a canvass Now ruined, ugly in her sight, Discarded in to the river the fishes Feasting upon her crime. She harvested, parts each dead for moments but stillness brought precision, each  flawless gem, with Precise loops each part fell in to place. She only needed one more ,the lips So delicate, so fragile. She carved So many kisses from the bodies, But never the correct, impatient She became, enraged with failures. Her moments of rage, became news. "The patch work doll" "The seamstress of beauty" She liked this name for beauty Was a puzzle that she stitched Together to hide the ugly inside. Then upon those fated moments, "Excuse me do you know the" Her mind forgot to listen, transfixed Upon those ruby gems, Yes ill Show you the way. "Thank you mam" Ill fated beauty, single breathes to Take. These where her jewels of Her crown as each most delicately Removed, stored so not to break. The patchwork was finished, **hideous Monstrosity** of flesh dead, but she Revelled upon her creation. Missing The point that she was only faded inside. She wore this mask, **the seamstress of Beauty** now wore the blood of others Upon her face, each was a life taken For this moment in the mirror, she Looked upon in happiness, in joy Of others pain, but the moment faded. All she saw was others, her beauty hidden Upon the stiches of others face, she Couldn't see herself only the faces of Each life she did take. The lips moved Spoken words upon this face, you want This beauty take it cut it with the knife. She cut upon this mask, deep cuts Upon her own self, the mask fell To the floor, spare parts of meat. She cut around, bleeding down Kissing the floor as it fell. Till she Stood there, her skin, meat upon The floor. Those final moments the seamstress Saw she was beautiful, that it was Underneath that was what she had Missed, so much beauty spilled for What, as she ran screaming towards The window. Like a mirror shattering shards Showing her a reflection of the beauty She had become, she was the seamstress Of many faces but know only one Face hits upon the unforgiving ground.

Seamstress Of Beauty
Wilted flower, ageless in A time of frailty, never wishing For her glow to fade, but Every flower wilts over time. She was weak in sympathy Seeing everyone though her Outer shell was, of ill taste, Souring there eyes. So those of younger skin she Spat upon in hated gestures, Until she could not see beauty, Only those having what had Faded upon her over time. She was a seamstress of cloth, Fashion was in her eyes, beauty For beauty now all was bland As her image tainted, She was Upon a plan. She would take beauty from those Unworthy souls, who abused the Gift for it should be collected, Harvested, so began her crime. The first was a nose, cut off still Breathing jagged edges ruined. She slashed upon beauty as stillness Settled in there eyes. Like a canvass Now ruined, ugly in her sight, Discarded in to the river the fishes Feasting upon her crime. She harvested, parts each dead for moments but stillness brought precision, each  flawless gem, with Precise loops each part fell in to place. She only needed one more ,the lips So delicate, so fragile. She carved So many kisses from the bodies, But never the correct, impatient She became, enraged with failures. Her moments of rage, became news. "The patch work doll" "The seamstress of beauty" She liked this name for beauty Was a puzzle that she stitched Together to hide the ugly inside. Then upon those fated moments, "Excuse me do you know the" Her mind forgot to listen, transfixed Upon those ruby gems, Yes ill Show you the way. "Thank you mam" Ill fated beauty, single breathes to Take. These where her jewels of Her crown as each most delicately Removed, stored so not to break. The patchwork was finished, **hideous Monstrosity** of flesh dead, but she Revelled upon her creation. Missing The point that she was only faded inside. She wore this mask, **the seamstress of Beauty** now wore the blood of others Upon her face, each was a life taken For this moment in the mirror, she Looked upon in happiness, in joy Of others pain, but the moment faded. All she saw was others, her beauty hidden Upon the stiches of others face, she Couldn't see herself only the faces of Each life she did take. The lips moved Spoken words upon this face, you want This beauty take it cut it with the knife. She cut upon this mask, deep cuts Upon her own self, the mask fell To the floor, spare parts of meat. She cut around, bleeding down Kissing the floor as it fell. Till she Stood there, her skin, meat upon The floor.

It simmers inside like a *** set to boil, this roiling bubbling never ending restlessness. Like a rabbit in the forest, seeming content for a time, yet never letting down the guard. Always alert, always watching, always ready to run. Fight or flight a way of life, there is no life without this strife. Content to be and sit and relax, claw my eyes out like angry cats. Punching holes in walls with fists, and screaming into pillow fits. Drinking drowning all it out, for false release and sultry pout. Use them up and toss them out, not what you were talking about. You knew you needed something there, to make this life seem somewhat fair. Nothing going right at all, this anger eating feed it’s call. growing green monstrosity threatening lives all around me with negativity. Bringing darkness to the light the shadowed soul of fight or flight. The angry red and growing pain is searing every dried up vein. Till nothing left but this monster, blinded slave to all it’s incurred. Anger never served it's master, turns the tables shackles of disaster, and satisfaction never gained by feeding what it thirsts in vain this rain of destruction all around never makes a life abound. The monster growing stronger still will hunger more and never filled and feed it though you might and try it will never ends until you die. Unless you take a sword of light and fight it with nobility and tell it truth and peace and love and right it with humility. It can be beat, it can be killed, it does not have to win. Surrender anger to the Lord, and turn back from your sin.

My life is a paradoxical monstrosity A contradiction in itself Where to start? Anywhere, everywhere, nowhere perhaps Occupation, I play with words. How naughty does that sound? Really, I'm in a complicated relationship with words, terms, definitions, metaphors Writer by day, storyteller by night And of course I love what I do And I hate what I do How very poetic of you! Why thank you! Sorry, the inner child speaks. Back to writing, And the moments of fantastic ecstasy Where this jumble of verbs and nouns and adjectives you're trying to assemble Clicks. The bigger picture develops with crystal clear clarity No fastidious statements Or meaningless passages. Just words, feelings, meanings Soul. That doesn't sound so bad you say IT HAPPENS ONCE EVERY MILLENIA! For the most I am frustrated. Stumped to the point where rage overcomes and the only cathartic release is to sleep. When I do manage to squeeze something out of the depths of my mind, it appears substandard, to say the least. Zadie told me to get used to non-satisfaction So I am satisfied with never been satisfied; does this make me satisfied? Ow. Please, I need an answer I've been looking for answers for nineteen years, But have I been asking the right questions? Are there any answers? Another question No, that was the question Confusion and befuddlment ravaging through your mind? I recently realised there are no facts Only really good suggestions by excessively knowledgeable and esteemed I quite fancy being one of those guys A visionary complete with the stereotypical glasses and overgrown beard And I'd declare that being yourself is the first step to finding your purpose Fact. But what if finding your purpose is your purpose? I'll leave you with that. This is my life. Complaining would be ungrateful of me; it's a good one really. I can walk and run and play basketball and see my friends where we laugh endlessly. Oh and Saturday morning cartoons. I have problems, enormous world ending problems But it's all relative. Some think I'm strange, I prefer quirky. I wonder how life would be if I'd chose the 'normal' option Most likely, frightfully boring

frantic antics rewire my brain, almost as if it were never a brain at all— circuits and switches and copper thread, my computerized cerebellum, my inorganic head, as biology becomes machine. what powers my body, this metallic monstrosity? there is no plug, no battery— only the cogs and gears of a watchmaker's fever dream and sheer, dumb luck. because, while they stood around and waited idly for my parts to rust, i was killing time in a vacuum, ignoring the earnest embraces of air and rain. and thus, here i rest, with the sound of my own meek ticking thrumming against these pink asylum walls but because i stayed awake to tell the tale, and to rub their sordid noses in the dirt, i suppose my isolation was worth it.

Did it hurt? Seeing the disgusting look upon my face? I bet it did, the monstrosity of how you tried to fix it. No one cared. Not once, about you but I guess you already knew. Three seconds. Three seconds is all it took. 1-despair and agony filled up you along with regret. No wonder why you longed for her. 2-our life was ruined , because of you. I bet she liked how much she ******* us up. 3-wake up ******* You may be the one who was wrong this time. No longer do I have to wait for you. No more. Never again 0-have fun ******** your life up. And are you sure you won't cheat on her , too?

Never again.
Please excuse my drivel of words as I ascertain my inexcusable lustless love life. However, humor me for a second… But I’m looking for Miss Alabama Worley. Mississippi Isabel, **** it, Lady Macbeth would do. That ***** knows crazy. Where is the incomprehensible insufferable beast? That will take my heart in one foul swipe and refuse Me rest till I’ve given her lust the spearing of a hungry tribesman. I want the lock and chain around my ***** because my naked vulnerability Is hers for the taking. Beat me, Oh monstrosity of the bedroom Let the blood drip as I lick your foot. Indulge me with the endless sweat and tears of the night. And **** me like a rock star Till I taste the rubber. Where is the whirlwind passion? Love at first sight. And not the giddy looks of something Michael Cera starred in. I am talking tattoos on the first date, Reckless marriage doomed by the 50 pound ring on her finger. Put me in a ****** east end flat, Let me starve because ******* is food for the brain, And her ***** tastes delectable when I’m high. **** my brother in our bed, I never liked him anyway. A best friend is a man who’s shared the same hole. And trust me, we’re closer than ever. You’ll be all I’ve got. I’ll sleep on the couch and crawl back to you, Because I'm wrong, I am always wrong. Laugh at the scars on my wrists Pity isn’t there for the taking. Leave me shaking in the corners of my mind, Let lust grow like anger and revenge Let anger and revenge grow When I go soft on you, Put those cigarettes out on my chest, And choke me; asphyxiate me from the inside out. I want to burn in the hellish rapture Betwixt your thighs. ******* fire in half an hour, God knows where you got it from. But those who care share, right? But then, Perhaps I’ll just end up like my parents, Settle down with a nice girl. A nice normal girl, Missionary position isn’t that bad I ‘spose.
