2018 Does it necessarily called sad even when there's no tears? Does it necessarily called scar even when there's no mark? Does it necessarily called pain, even when it doesn't show? Heart. Break. Heartbreak. I am used to hearing this word on a daily basis. Maybe a little too often, but my point here is, everyone knows someone 'utters' that they are in a heartbreak once in a while. So, what is heartbreak to you? "When someone can't keep their promises while they have the chance to." —Alessandra A. "Uncertainty." —Samuel Wijaya "Friends who leave." —Vivian Loo "Being a disappointment." —Ryon Regasa "When the butterflies are no longer there." —Calvina Izumi "Seeing him smile, but I'm not the reason." —Anonymous "When someone you love, has another name in his/her heart." —Evadne Richard "When an effort to love can't be seen anymore because it is sealed shut by a mistake." —David Halim "When you finally meet someone you love sincerely and somehow they start distancing themselves, and you don't even talk to them anymore and you don't even know why."—Natasha These are some opinions from my friends that probably represent some/most of your thoughts about a heartbreak, at least describe what comes first to your mind after hearing that word. And those opinions also described mine, and mostly represent some of the heartbreak(s) that had occured in my life. Now, concluding all the opinions above How would I myself define what heartbreak is? I would define it as an invisible yet irresistible pain. Headache is a type of pain. And heartbreak is also a type of pain. But we all know that both of them are completely different. When you're having a headache, you know exactly where it hurts. But when you're having a heartbreak, it just hurts. You don't know exactly where the pain came from, even when some referred to their chest ('cause it's where their heart is) or anywhere else, it's actually just the side effect of having a heartbreak itself. Just enough explanation to state that heartbreak is like a nowhere and everywhere type of pain. You can't see and you can't know where it hurts, but it's real. As if it was invisible as it is uncertain. Just because you can't really point out where it hurts, doesn't mean it's not there. And another thing about heartbreak is, you can't resist it. No matter how hard you try. There is no painkiller for your heartbreak, and even if you use something as a pain killer (such as alcohol?), it doesn't necessarily works as one. It doesn't make the pain go away, it just distracts you from what you're feeling, temporarily. It shifts your attention and feelings into something less noteworthy for a moment, and then the next day the pain is still going to be there. You can try to resist it, but only time that can make all of that fades. And even when it fades, it doesn't go away. It never will.

She felt lost and alone, longing to feel needed, craving to be loved She watched as love birds came and went, each with their twinkling eyes, all wearing wide grins Why was she, lovely and kind, so eager to find her knight in shining armor? Because, she decided, it was how one felt notable in this merciless world.

What My Name Means
Excuse me Mam! Can I intrest U in a mutural gift? A possible win-win senario. Please pause a moment from U'r very busy day. Pause to listen and let down your guard. I am very sincere! Though i admit, a bit of an introvert. But underneath it all, I am a good person. I am dillagent and goal oriented. Though i admit, a bit obsesive. But underneathn it all, I am a good person. I follow the Rules! I try to please my peers and superiors. Though i admit, not always accomplished. But underneath it all, I am a good person. My accomplishments are noteworthy Though i admit, I am not of riches. But underneath it all, I am a good person. In some uncertain way, My love of life is bonded by these chains. Your inocent interest could set me free, if only for a moment. For the moment that U share, I would be a transformed person. Though i admit, not a person of the world. But underneath it all, I can make U happy to. Regards, Jerry

Color is light. Color is grace. Color is a garden.   Since when was white not a color. Since when was white the other. Since when was white not your brother. You are no better than us. We are no better than you. You are a color like us. We are a color like you. Color is a gift. Color is magic. Color is our skin. Color is divine. Color is no mistake.   Color is just a color. Color is a window. Color is bliss.   Color is the Lord’s stage. Color is alive. Color is eternity. Color is noteworthy. Color is original. Color is a story. Color is extending. Color is our breath. Color is sunshine. Color is our life line. Color is captivating.   Color is our wings. Color is love. Color is beautiful. Color is you. Color is I. Color is he. Color is she. Color is us. by: Najwa Kareem February 2017

Noteworthy (haiku)
I spent Thanksgiving this year not in the blue-collar comfort of my aunt’s house, nestled somewhere within a well-buried suburb of a quaint, but un-noteworthy neighborhood with walls decorated with Budweiser signs juxtaposed against portraits of the ****** Mary, where a football announcer’s voice plays like conservative talk radio in the background. Instead, to save the labor of my weary immigrant grandmother, we dressed in Sunday best and drove ourselves in three well-packed mini vans to some elegant hotel restaurant, ideal for people-watching from the gaudy, art-deco staircase while pretending to be in the Great Gatsby. It didn’t feel natural, though, that beside a modest turkey breast with cranberry dressing, sat a beautiful cut of prime rib, carefully ladled with truffle au juis– nor beside a humble dollop of mashed potatoes and gravy, should there be salmon to die for, and berries slathered with brie. The food I nibbled with bites of nervous guilt, as the impeccably dressed waiter exhaustedly refilled our water glasses, nodding his head reflexively to my mouse squeaks of “thank you’s” What monsters are we, letting these people work on Thanksgiving Day? Grandma said, calmly, that some people are just happy to be paid, recounting her impoverished childhood in war-torn Germany— that to simply muffle the aggressive rumbling of a days-empty stomach, she and her brother would ****** a handful of potatoes from a government farm, not many, but just enough as she grimaced at the ever-so-slight mealiness of her rosemary-infused pork chop— the woman who couldn’t afford ham until she became a citizen. We nodded quietly and swallowed our privileged guilt, washed down with politely cut bites of perfectly cooked salmon.

. I'm so proud ! :::: Now here's how it came down // A whole lotta girls at our high school Come up with a new *** craze Literally Getting ******  up the *** by a billy goat ! In and of itself This is hardly noteworthy But (!) They took it too a new level by filming themselves Doing it While also ************ with one hand And jiggling their **** with the other And basically turning it into A sort of ***** dance competition. // Now this caught on real big And the high schools in the area each got Together competitive teams And then a city wide league Where the teams are judged on form And Creativity And synchronization of ******* And mutuality of masturbatory modalities ( like oral *** ) // It is a huge money maker for the schools // Drawing 1000 of fans Who basically **** and **** off all night In the stands ! //    At first the Christians of the town Objected But Eventually it proved to be that Not having to pay taxes is a higher CHRISTIAN precept Than ****** purity ! // Everyone here is having a good time and maybe some of your towns Might get something going // Some schools I know of Are trying to include Cutting oneself and menstrual blood Into the completion Hopefully new ideas will occur And the sport will grow .

Just what do we know about Ward Churchill? That radical agitator, That Colorado college professor Most famous for calling Twin Tower 9/11 dead technocrats Little Eichmanns. Noteworthy is the fact that The United States Supreme Court Denied certiorari, Passed on hearing his claim of Unlawful discharge. Unlawful discharge? Sounds felonious and vile: Like pus laced with ***** A criminal secretion, like mucus Smuggled past Customs: Vaginal contraband. Sorry, Ward. We just don’t give a **** Your fake Indian pedigree, Your bogus Vietnam fairytales, Your phony combat record, Your forward ops recon Way out in ******* Cambodia, Fall flat like Buffalo turds. You’ve been slick, Ward. Hired originally to fill Some gratuitous affirmative action quota, Denied tenure in two legitimate departments, You create some ******** academic discipline For campus freaks & geeks. Self-appointed Department Chairman, A fraudulent college professor from the start, Once tenured, a courageous warrior for free speech. Describing Native American history as genocide. Summing up American history as Holocaust denial. Professor Churchill was all of these things, And less. But using the Holocaust metaphor To anchor one’s fakakta politics? That was the proverbial last straw, The camel buster, if you will. Especially since most of the Stockbrokers & market analysts Crushed in the rubble were Jewish. Hava Nagila, Babaloo!

"Ward Churchill's Little Eichmanns"
What I learned in school, is what being damaged to does to you. It teaches you struggle is a bad word and that success is effortless if you’re not perfect right away you’re not right at all your words only have value according to the rubric your cries of pain are only noteworthy when the wound blisters scarlet red and sticks and stones are as harmless as the air used to launch them, never mind that they broke your spirit well before your bones they’re just kids. I was a kid too. Yet you locked me behind an iron desk for first an hour, then two, because despite how desperately I pleaded, you assumed that because you cared, that meant you couldn’t hurt me. I have no scars on my skin to show you, unless you count the words I never wrote because thinking about this made me choke. And writing about it made it real. You don’t get a scar when your body is convinced it can no longer draw breath, and you learn to count to four and hold for four before you ever open up a trig book to page four. I have scars because I am here to be healed, I am here, still. Trees that fall in forests don't scar, but the grove where they once stood misses them. This is how I rode my bike every day after school, I rode it back home safely as I could. Because I learned to shoulder my weight in gold and understand on my own terms that my gold standard is the only one worth anything to me.

What I learned in school
. *I am merely the conduit... For those who are voiceless. Or the servant even... To things which lay silent. I am the medium through which you come alive.* ***A noteworthy find, but your words are still your own. Birthed from the deepest ocean of thoughts... Forged with the fiercest fires of emotions... And harvested from the richest mine we call life.*** *But I hadn't planted the seeds... You did.* ***But you did nurture them, so they might flourish. You did share them, so others you nourish. If I am anything in this enterprise, I am the wind that brushes your skin... Not the gust that fills your sail.*** *Then I accept that we're both so fitting. Therefore I acknowledge you as you do I.* Me Muse .

I'm sitting in a bar. A place where they all collect. They come together with smiling eyes and open hearts and sit, drink and just shoot the **** They are all noteworthy people, not a boring or reserved soul among the bunch. And they share stories of their highs, lows and purgatories. One of them, his name's Jimmy, tells the story he always tells when he's teetering between coherency and slop-talk. He tells of how he died. He hopped in his car one day, and boy did he love his cars. And that particular car, the one his heart stopped beating in, was his favorite. He sped down the road, his hair blowing in the wind and his hand beating the side of the door as he sang "Strangers in the Night" as it blasted through his radio speakers. He wasn't drunk, he never really was fond of drinking when he was still breathing (he says being dead is depressing and alcohol is the only thing that "assures" him). His car swerved sharply, it was raining, and he just couldn't control the hunk of metal. His head hit the windshield before he even knew what happened. Jimmy looked down at his Jack and Coke and smiled. His eyes, now drowning in salt water, glistened off the cheap fluorescent lights. He told me he never got to tell his mother he loved her. Never got to tell his girlfriend that he thought they were meant to be. Never got to show the world that the man hidden behind so many layers of insecurity and recklessness was a man that was going to span time, generations. And I look back at him, my mouth curling a little and told him that he might not have gotten to talk to his mother or his girlfriend... But he **** well made his mark. After all, he's in a bar filled with dozens of people with stories not unlike his own. And he's talking to me. Me, with my chest inflating and deflating as it filled and emptied itself of sugary oxygen. Me, with my eyes alive and blinking and shining with life. Me, who is alive. At least, I hope to God I am.

I do not need a cigarette in my hand A flat stomach An eyebrow piercing An infinite knowledge of Socrates. I do not need A quick-witted tongue To be easy to please, short in stature, soft spoken, impatient. I do not need A fondness of antiques The latest car 26 pairs of shoes Diamond earrings, To be passive, To be alluring and enticing and likable, noticeable, noteworthy, appealing or interesting. I need my heart. If my heart does not allure or compel you to see if I really do have 26 pairs or shoes or if I really am a smoker, if I am passive and soft spoken, if I am tall or short, then I am not compelling enough. My heart should be what catches your attention and what makes you stay. My heart overrides all else when looking at my worth; my 26 pairs of shoes will not comfort you, but my heart will. Therefore, look at someones heart. That is where you will truly find someone rather in who they are than what they are.

I Only Need My Heart
Sometimes I can't fall asleep. I wonder if my brain is physically incapable of shutting off; if the thoughts constantly running round my head and through my arms to my shaking fingers and twitching legs have anything to do with her. I think I was a little bit in love with her, to be honest-- if a fourth grader can be in love. I looked at the yellow spots on her teeth and saw a beautiful birthmark- distinguishing the interesting from the dull and the good from the evil. I observed her frizzy, black hair and deemed it noteworthy to the highest extent, and although I don't remember it, I'd be lying if I said I had never dreamt of kissing her. She was so beautiful to me-- an enigma wrapped in a conundrum with a side of a heightened, fourth grade quandary. The online counseling center of the University of Illinois defines an emotionally abusive relationship as “brain washing that systematically wears away at the victim’s self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-concept.” I'm not quite sure if I'd label a questionable elementary school friendship as emotionally abusive, but looking back, I could never really figure out what bonded us together other than mothers who enjoyed sewing and a mutual lack of trust. Her deficiency was in herself. I was just cement to fill the gaps. Currently, my chest feels constricted and my hands are shaking like the revolution inside them hasn't yet been won, and neither the rebels nor the authorities can remember what or who they're fighting for. I think it's the caffeine that set it off, but I wouldn't put it past her to inject the cement with poison and shove it back down my throat like medicine. Maybe that's why I've been having trouble breathing. Last night, I forgot to brush my teeth. I'm not sure if it was because I forgot or because the long term effects of my iron deficiency finally kicked in. The cement hasn't yet hardened enough to fill the cracks.

Julia
Sometimes I can't fall asleep. I wonder if my brain is physically incapable of shutting off; if the thoughts constantly running round my head and through my arms to my shaking fingers and twitching legs have anything to do with her. I think I was a little bit in love with her, to be honest-- if a fourth grader can be in love. I looked at the yellow spots on her teeth and saw a beautiful birthmark- distinguishing the interesting from the dull and the good from the evil. I observed her frizzy, black hair and deemed it noteworthy to the highest extent, and although I don't remember it, I'd be lying if I said I had never dreamt of kissing her. She was so beautiful to me-- an enigma wrapped in a conundrum with a side of a heightened, fourth grade quandary. The online counseling center of the University of Illinois defines an emotionally abusive relationship as “brain washing that systematically wears away at the victim’s self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-concept.” I'm not quite sure if I'd label a questionable elementary school friendship as emotionally abusive, but looking back, I could never really figure out what bonded us together other than mothers who enjoyed sewing and a mutual lack of trust. Her deficiency was in herself. I was just cement to fill the gaps. Currently, my chest feels constricted and my hands are shaking like the revolution inside them hasn't yet been won, and neither the rebels nor the authorities can remember what or who they're fighting for. I think it's the caffeine that set it off, but I wouldn't put it past her to inject the cement with poison and shove it back down my throat like medicine. Maybe that's why I've been having trouble breathing. Last night, I forgot to brush my teeth. I'm not sure if it was because I forgot or because the long term effects of my iron deficiency finally kicked in. The cement hasn't yet hardened enough to fill the cracks.

I wanted the high school sweetheart to want me But she had another plan in store It almost hurt me at the core Than i realized that there's already too much sadness surfacing here So i must distract myself, persevere Before i could ever endure The harsher realities This wasn't a fatality Calm down, calm down I'm not taking it to heart I'm not falling apart I'm just building a new start Another chance could come But I'll forget about it until then If there's ever a then I'm not a bleak beach, but I'm a summer you can't sweat out Staying as long as i can My mind is more open than the borders of the land of the free Not everything is free So why don't you take on me? No? It's all good in this neighborhood Economy is still balanced People are still working Which i mean my white blood cells So there's no reason to get angry and yell It's time to sell My previous plan to the mental shredder They'll really love the business Trust me, they've been harping on it for far too long I might need to lecture them soon I'm not tolerating any doom and gloom In my own living quarters In my mind This city has to grind To be noteworthy Just like the external ones So i apply the double standards firmly Hold your heart that way When you think it might sink Prevent yourself from the baleful think Take out your gloss like Tink And put an end to this possible siege of lapsed judgement

Calm Down, Calm Down
Her heart was like an Hershey's kiss It's been quite a while since I've had a craving for such, It's actually been quite a while since I've had one come to think of it. I mean literally there are so many things that go on throughout the day to actually sit down and realize hey the only thing missing right now is a bit of chocolate. Unbecoming I was caught red handed. Attempting to take the last one out the bag. It's not like I was a heathen or anything, giving the impression that I was to tear the paper off shred by shred leaving her with nothing but the wrapper. I would have shared in the manifestation of that one small thing becoming something greater. She had something to be desired She had something that I desired, something offered that I've never quite had before. Mouth watering in thought. She presented a noteworthy question, one til this day I think we both know the answer to. Only fitting after being overlooked so many times that it came natural Giving pieces of herself wrapped up in this fancy tin foil only to be used. Quite understable, But she didn't understand this incredible urge that had to be filled

Hershey's Kiss
It's a struggle I understand--- The point is lost When comfort Of the bed takes over, But failing The challenge twice In a week Is noteworthy. The point cannot get across If it's all but a car With flat tires, For this road has no time For brakes to depress, And we knew that stepping in, But surely we can do better To not deplete the message Of wasting any moments Than the example we've set. Laziness is no longer an excuse, It's a mindset; Don't let it breach the line Of permanence.

Lazy
I hope these words won't fail me, not that I'm worried my thoughts can't be, bought from some failed memory, see these things won't be like allegory, free from my constant monotony, falling into a pit of true uncertainty, calling whatever can be the deepest rooted tree, knowing its inside my mind swaying like a sea, flowing freely on the onset of hyperactivity, jump at the sight of my soul solely, slump back into the fall of feeling lonely, could you ever feel this way anecdotally, would anyone know if this is noteworthy?

A tomato entreat this noteworthy beat so meaty the leaves that the seeds forget a triumph in heat. A true measure in taste and discover this variety that the sauce tastes great.

A Tomato Entreat
On the deck of the HMS Randalls Were sorry array of antiques They would amble about in their sandals To a chorus of ominous creaks The crackle of bone upon gristle With a litany grumbled above Just give them the slip If you feel a grip Like a handful of dice in a glove In the galley of HMS Randalls Where the tables were ******* to the floor There’s a chef with a dwarf where his leg was He was bombed in the Argentine war If you ask him about his ‘prosthetic’ He just winks and he taps on his nose But the dwarf will admit That they make a good fit And a noteworthy total of toes At the engines of HMS Randalls With her overalls smeared with blood Stood cannibal kind of mechanic By the name of Veronica Spud Her hunger has never been sated Or her eye been the source of a tear Her teeth have been chipped Into screwdriver tips And a spanner protrudes from her ear On the bridge of the HMS Randalls Sits the captain, Geronimo Spent His unblinking and pallid expression Say he left but he never quite went But he puts on his hat and his jacket He fastidiously logs his report With a secondary list Of the passengers kissed As he figures that life’s too short **

Like a camel, we persist and endure Underneath the blazing desert sun Seeking our oasis in the distance A noteworthy medicine Finer than caffeine and alcohol The purest form of life

Water
To where do I traverse my verse of sentiment. Sediment set in said increment played upon the ears of a child, wild upon the planes of plain immortals, powerless gods, and ill-statured titans. Widen my view to see nothing, or, perhaps, nothing noteworthy.  Divorce my discourse with abandon meant for one that cares. Stare into the bare soul of half-eaten fruit. A point as moot as I am mute.

Wild Traverse Through Nothing...
there's no couching this effort... celluloid film jitteriness of memory... akin to a centipede thrumming about a dank cellar. i can not vacuum this stead... with mind over matter...you are It...the holy of holies afforded me. noteworthy, and uncelebrated...we are-- as far's love's itemized. incommunicado, and legendary-- our poetic licenses bestowed upon one another...years would go where they go...and concerned parties would head-butt the genesis/apocalypse of our Go...minus been. my love's no recourse to lovelessness... (for you...that is) for...i'm drawn to a picture, picturing overexposure. Hardening, hard, and harder times felled atop us...now help me lift.
