"outlooks" poems
sometimes i wish you'd see beyond the color of my eyes and the cloth wrapped around my head i wish you would think of me as an individual put away my appearance and regard me as a person my thoughts matter my ideas aren't all bad i have opinions and i choose to speak my mind if only you would listen to my words and try to comprehend what i'm saying rather than focusing on my accent and the way my lips curve when i speak the cloth on my head does not rid me of ideas it does not limit my mental capabilities it does not lower my tolerance *have a debate with me spark a conversation* instead of complimenting my smile compliment my mind instead of assuming that my beliefs are enforced upon me *ask me what i believe ask me what i value* tell me what you base your morals on *question me give me counterarguments talk to me* instead of staring at me and making biased assumptions already concluding who i am and where i come from before you've even said hello! i am not just the color of my skin i am not just the size of my thighs i am not just the design of my clothes i am not just the price of my purse i am not just the pattern of my headscarf i am not just the length of my nails i am not just a body i am a mind i am a heart i am a soul i am my theories i am my thoughts i am my perceptions i am my opinions i am my viewpoints i am my objectives i am my purpose i am my outlooks i am my intentions i am my reasons i am my perspectives i am my choices i am my principles i am my ideologies i am a thinking, feeling, living, stimulated, motivated, inspired being i've got a world inside of me take a look see before you choose to pass judgment on me.

This one’s for the smart kids. This one is for the honor students, and the straight A students This is for the kids who stay up half the night studying, and the kids who work their ***** off for their grades This is for the kids who can define and spell Antidisestablishmentarianism or tell you what DNA stands for (it’s deoxyribonucleic acid by the way) This is for the teachers pets, the geeks, and the nerds. And the student who skips parties so she can study for her test. This is for the kids who can solve complex mathematic equations in their head This is for the kids who know that you don’t use “I” in a formal essay, and that okay is spelled O-K-A-Y, not O-K. This is for the kids who can recite pi up to 200 hundred places, and the ones who can solve a rubix cube in 2 minutes flat. The ones who take two language classes, and the ones who have been saving for college since they were born. Geniuses of the 21st century, this is for you. I would give you a gold star and a check plus for what you’ve done, but I’m sure you have gotten plenty of those. So I think I will just tell you something that only we could understand; Superb job at pursuing your academic careers with such ambitious outlooks on the world, and for having such admirable self-motivation. I know that sometimes it ***** to be academically inclined, but in 5, 10, 20 years you will be working in some law firm or doing something you love and making multiple figures while the kids who blow off their school life will be stuck working for minimum wage at McDonalds or as a waitress for the rest of their lives. So keep writing essays and doing extra credit because it’s not enough to survive high school, you have to thrive, and reach for the metaphorical stars.

it comes when you're reading one of those books written by pseudo intellectuals buried in their despondent lookout on life comes when        They're writing on human's self-sabotaging nature, when they're peeling layers off and off, revealing the truth of ourself like they're        gods, Hermes the messenger, or angels, Michael, bringing to us thoughts we'd never have grown organically      that's what they believe,           what they tell themselves as they prune their feathers with pride as they impregnate you with the god honest truth and how did you live before knowing this? it's been with you all along, kicking and breathing and pushing      you just didn't know it, yet, but now you can as they preach their outlooks like it's a message that changes everything, that your life will implode as your mind wakes itself up -      they try to baptize you           gripping your throat with their      carpel tunnel fingers, reading glasses slipping down their noses as they lean over you, watching their words pour into you, their victims' throat, as they will it and all the while they blame you, because: Humans make themselves miserable      They write They bury themselves in all they hate and choose to burn all they love until they're alone and self-loathing and scarred unrecognizable      They write Of our hatred for humanity for every single individual that surrounds us and How we surround ourselves with them with crowded supermarkets and lanes of traffic because they fuel our suffering and That's all we crave      They write On our thirst for blood our lust for **** ****** war on How our society is fueled by violence and how we bathe in it with a grin stretched across dry  bleeding lips sharp teeth that rip through our neighbors' flesh with delight      They write that we're alone in suffering and surrounded by hate and we're wild animals driven to war out of boredom and That's human nature in a nutshell That's the truth revealed           nasty, gritty, honest      They write and that's when it comes, that gnawing in the      pit of your stomach, that scratching in the back of your mind      that claws its way           down into your throat where it      squeezes

I get too deep in my own emotions, I never even attempt to try and bring myself back because I know that when I’m depressed they just become delusions. It’s simple to say that friendship can keep you sane but honestly, it’s the comradery the keeps me sheltered in an uncomfortable silence. Hearing about the pleasures someone can indulge in makes my heart break, then to hear them complain about the small demons they face in life just simply makes it hard to agree with their outlooks when I’ve seldom ever seen my happiness at its peak. It’s hard to think of them outside of our time together when almost every moment of my time is hard to fabricate. I love them but sometimes it feels like I have to liquidate and make my escape before I create a situation where I will negate the comfort I’ve created with them, it’s so hard not to express the feeling to leave.

The spectrum of my eye sees this one color perhaps if I smile it would be less duller But I can't help but to sink into a sadness of this color when I see the rain drops on an easy Sunday morning With the drips and drops against my windowsill that outlooks to the dreary city Busy people passing, stepping over puddles The gloomy clouds over cast my apartment and I still wonder, if the sun is still shinning where ever you may be because it's certainy not in my eyes

I just want to write stories: One about a girl on her honeymoon that calls her mother from the hotel room. Her mother dissapproves of her husband because he's abusive and rude and she doesn't understand how her daughter can love him; but her daughter can't help but love him unconditionally because she understands her husbands flaws and they're what she loves about him most. She gets all this pity about being mistreated, but everyone should pity the man of her dreams because no one understands him and he's tearing at the seems, and he feels so lucky to have someone so accepting and they love each other despite everything. Or one about a girl perhaps, that goes on long walks to a stage by a river where she imagines that everyone claps and welcomes her with open arms that she can practically feel embracing her and their arms comfort her and keep her warm and eliminate the shivers that grow on her own arms like little ant hills with colonies beneath them and when she looks down at her heart she notices a tiny stem of a dandelion by her feet, and she admires it because it holds up a **** and doesn't face defeat and still holds up this **** even though everyone only views it as a **** and it breaks a sweat and stands tall and doesn't succumb to greed. She wishes she could look up to it, but the world only sees it when they're looking down. And I want to write one about a tiny boy with many fears that no one understands and ironically enough, one of his greatest fears is not being understood by others why he is so scared. So he tries and tries and tries to explain why the world seems so evil but the stutter of his thoughts makes him realize that nobody ever cared. And he carries on and lives life in silence. Silently scared of a world can hardly bear. Or maybe I'll write one about a poet that dreams of the wildest scenarios and the most enchanting outlooks on life and she dreams of words and how they fit together and she dreams of ideas unimaginable to the average brain and she wakes up in the morning and doesn't remember a thing and she opens her note pad and scribbles until her ink is working again and sits with her silent pen, wondering what to write.

I have reached a resting stop in my life long journey towards complete and utter happiness. I am drained, weak, and nauseous. I can't do a single thing in life without worrying about a consequence, a mistake, a fear. If I move on; will I be wishing I stayed? If I stayed will I forever be regretting my decision? I need to see the world, but I also enjoy some things in this life. I crave adventure, but comfort is easy to find and 'home' it is easy to call. I want to see what life has to offer, but what if it isn't as glorious as people proclaim? what if I am not the person I believe I am? a unique writer who craves inspiring scenery? Or am I just a little girl who's been thrown around by society, mind so hazed that I cannot figure out what I truly desire? Life; it's a living hell - but with an open mind and no pessimistic outlooks, it can be a best selling book waiting to be written. I might have the ability and opportunity to be the Author, through terrors, tortures, and turmoil... I might be able to make my hell into someone else's hope. I just have to keep going, moving forward, and stop looking back and dawning on the past.

Ugly and disappointing colors are what they're revealing It's a challenge not to fall victim to the deceptive deceiving This world in which all are tirelessly scheming Corrupt messages intended to disillusion our modes of sensory The laws of this dishonesty are rarely discriminant The unlimited reach of the effects are constantly consistent Putting current views and outlooks in legitimate jeopardy Originality is one thing they've made a hobby of stealing Dark, ***** secrets require intelligent attempts at concealing This society in which all are tirelessly scheming Naivity is an automatic assumption of all that is innocent You can witness their successes expending minimal energy The fraud is hazardous; failure is certainly imminent One would desire that outcome sooner than later, as it leaves recipients feeling elderly With any form of luck, more will come to share this sentiment Endless efforts put toward developing façades generally appealing Aiming to have candor and valor on the knees, kneeling This reality in which all are tirelessly scheming Sturdy quilts to shield clarity are woven most expertly Time being tested passed slowly- increment by minute increment Blueprints to fool the majority will be, expectedly, intricate What was the original reality has been altered into a distant, doubted memory Any and all accomplished legitimitacy sends them all reeling There's always a "crisis" with which we should be dealing Our universe in which all are tirelessly scheming

I feel it.... The urge, The scratch, The knuckle, The crack, The sound, The glimpse, The silence.... Change, inwardly evolving into every step I make, every word I say, every breath I take. What is at stake? I struck myself at a forsaken introspection. Becoming, someone new. Someone dark, and someone light. Someone who I never thought I could be. Intensity strikes and the magic I have been hiding resurfaces. I am many forms... Of me. I then, start to see. She was just a cover, but now I unfold and surface at my most enlightened peak. I feel me, I know me. Yet, it's a monumental battle of self, constantly changing, having different outlooks. Allowing perception to take shape into different formulas. I found myself, lost in the darkness, and lost in the light. The substantial view of solitude has awoken a part of me that was lurking in the shadows of what I thought I was losing. Space, moving slowly, at a pace, with no fight or race, but a high vibration of intentional awareness that I now foresee, down, and high, the pits of me as I grow to actually be. The me I had lost, the new version of what I thought me would be. Profusely intertwining with chaotic yet peaceful mindless thoughts. I feel it... No hassle, No chase, No worry, Just peace. I accept me.

it's electric chilling to the touch can't let go of the idea your hands gliding down my arms to grasp my hands it's a silly i suppose the way i dream of you but i can't help it have we met before? or do you stay here during waking life? locked away, as i remain. longing for the moments of rest where i'll still find you do you wait for me? between delicate dreams and a fifth dimension? do you know how you move me? phantom touches of fingertips as you look into my eyes? god, i'd love to be loved to remember the glow if it, even for a moment. to remember how it feels to wear a borrowed sweater or to lend mine to a lover to wear it. the hug that lasts 'til you decide it's over to feel it. the warmth that lingers, your heart in their sleeves to breathe it. the smell of their cologne, the connected memories of being held held in a way that let you know that they never want to let go, that to do so is a temporary measure so later on, they can embrace you once again reliving the euphoria of human connection but is it love? to crave when you are so starved or is it merely loneliness to crave the escape of a lover's arms carefully wrapped around you, as they whisper low those sweet nothings, telling you that you are everything when you have felt so empty a resurgence of half-filled cups, rose-tinted outlooks and lovesick melodies exchanged glances that form their own languages and i want so badly for a name to be honey in my mouth again, so sweet i am afraid to open up and let it out i crave so deeply the feeling of being fully clothed and yet naked, fully myself and fully in love. and i may be a romantic, but i don't need flowers at my door i don't need you to tell me what your heart is for i want the little things, tag teaming the dishes as you tell me your day, the rough draft of the email you need to send ( if it needs an edit, i promise to be kind ) nothing speaks of love like the mundane, to share a life; to share even a moment what else could be so intimate? i want to know your middle name or to invent, should you not already possess one i want to have knowledge that gives fae their power i want to know your favorite color, so i can wear it when i'm alone to encapsulate the meaning i desire above all else, to be loved with only the best intentions why would the world be beautiful if every inch of it didn't deserve to be enveloped by love? i ponder alone

it's electric chilling to the touch can't let go of the idea your hands gliding down my arms to grasp my hands it's a silly i suppose the way i dream of you but i can't help it have we met before? or do you stay here during waking life? locked away, as i remain. longing for the moments of rest where i'll still find you do you wait for me? between delicate dreams and a fifth dimension? do you know how you move me? phantom touches of fingertips as you look into my eyes? god, i'd love to be loved to remember the glow if it, even for a moment. to remember how it feels to wear a borrowed sweater or to lend mine to a lover to wear it. the hug that lasts 'til you decide it's over to feel it. the warmth that lingers, your heart in their sleeves to breathe it. the smell of their cologne, the connected memories of being held held in a way that let you know that they never want to let go, that to do so is a temporary measure so later on, they can embrace you once again reliving the euphoria of human connection but is it love? to crave when you are so starved or is it merely loneliness to crave the escape of a lover's arms carefully wrapped around you, as they whisper low those sweet nothings, telling you that you are everything when you have felt so empty a resurgence of half-filled cups, rose-tinted outlooks and lovesick melodies exchanged glances that form their own languages and i want so badly for a name to be honey in my mouth again, so sweet i am afraid to open up and let it out i crave so deeply the feeling of being fully clothed and yet naked, fully myself and fully in love. and i may be a romantic, but i don't need flowers at my door i don't need you to tell me what your heart is for i want the little things, tag teaming the dishes as you tell me your day, the rough draft of the email you need to send ( if it needs an edit, i promise to be kind ) nothing speaks of love like the mundane, to share a life; to share even a moment what else could be so intimate? i want to know your middle name or to invent, should you not already possess one i want to have knowledge that gives fae their power i want to know your favorite color, so i can wear it when i'm alone to encapsulate the meaning i desire above all else, to be loved with only the best intentions why would the world be beautiful if every inch of it didn't deserve to be enveloped by love? i ponder alone

Confusion, abusing underused. Apathy is only a mean to an end and it has served me well in the past. Like a particularly sharp tool, chosen with care, to sculpt and mold the clay between my fingers into something presentable for the world. Who are they to judge what I make, who am I to judge what my fingers shape? A stoic face outlooks the world shaped out of clay and sharp edges contrasting on the face just below the meniscus, turns to soft and gritty emotions boiling down the surface of what used to be a smoothly carved face.

Pin-tool.
Amid the soils and grit of life and pleasures   pursuit of happiness may one find the fruit of perfection? In some museum eclipsed in heaven? Or on Madison Avenue or on a magazine cover? Or in some religion?  What sect? Or may we have as much luck planting a banana peel in a hole we dug and filled with **** Positive outlooks are necessary, but roses don't grow here in December and bananas are imported and petroleum is now cheap and internet is wireless and lunar eclipses and we all arose from some explosion and , god forbid, my parents had *** Otherwise, I would not be here writing, this ****

Where may be found?
I wonder, When the wind blows, where does it go? Our minds cannot comprehend such things. New outlooks on life are brought on Due to heartbreaking events. Everyone always asks why. Reasons are needed for everything. Why not just accept it? Here's why, people are afraid of faith. Yet I do not, because I know the risk is always worth it.

I wonder.
We pass this age, in pipes, pass hazed bathrooms on river outlooks, fleshy and brown. The walk up walk down, they stain us in tattoo colors, us in memoriam, us in spite of them. The roots of our habits lie, lie, and are laid in secret, above our flat hats smart pants; we tire from a fight, a pose, from watching flies drop around us. We end in smoke, us in ozone.

Us and In
1.You shall not confine beauty, that which is in the eye of the poet charged to show it to the world. 2.There is no poetry better than the other, although your words are different you all bear witness to the soul's confession. 3. You will write freely not to incite popularity but to give truth to this art. 4. You shall never use poetry as self vanity but for exploring the spirituality within each other. 5. You will not be confined to the repetition that you have used in poetry, poetry is an exploration of the self, therefore the words are too an evolution of discovery. 6. The words will be therapeutic and truthful to the self so that you can see the truth in the world to bring about the compassion within. 7. You will bleed your self onto paper and very word will be yours for everyone else, there is no poetry without others to read it. 8. The words shall be as a confession that does not inspire sorrowful outlooks, but it shall inspire into action those who knew no better than before your suffering. 9. Being true to yourself first and foremost is an absolute; if you lie to yourself then how can one be a true person, much less a true poet? 10. Each poem will be a gift to the world, but it will never be greater than your dream and will always be inferior to the most marvelous of dreams which is the art of poetry itself.

Lovely People
My mother always told me that “blood is thicker than water” she meant that the family I was born into was more important than everyone else but that's ******** the quote itself is ******** people misuse all the time the original is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” it means the exact opposite of what my mother was trying to tell me the family you choose is more important than the family you're born into the problem with one line sayings is that they are too simple the problem with my mother is that she says one line sayings all the time the problem with how I was is that I believed them I believed that I'd attract more flies with honey than vinegar that I should **** my enemies with kindness that boys will be boys that I should do unto others as I would have them do unto me that the family I was born with was more important than the friends that I chose but outlooks change I don't want to attract flies I don't have enemies but if I did I'd want to change them not **** them I'm not going to be passive I will do unto others the way that they want me to do unto them I don't have to talk to a family who doesn't want to fix things because I want to fix all of the things and sometimes to fix things you have to destroy the bad parts so I'm burning so many bridges I'm watching them go down in flames and from the ashes I'm building a life that is more honest than any one line saying could be

One Line Sayings
Out here all alone, no one can see me nor hear my deepest of thoughts, all I am left to do is think about all the things you’ve said to me, missing your smiling face but all I can do is look out into the distance and I will have all your words of inspiration running through my head. Your last words of love keep me going, moving along, making it all possible, building a better life for me, soon enough it will make sense to the outsiders that look in. Their outlooks will change from doubt to positive reflection. So I declare this a movement of mysterious ways, dedicated to you my birth mother who is looking down from heaven’s mountain. The steps I will make, the steps I will take, all in the right direction, the high road will be taken always. I know you will be there in the end holding the gates open for me to walk through. When I do we will once again be together, we will play the games we once played when I was a little boy filled with joy. Until then the times well spent together will remain running through my head, and all the things you’ve said will keep me moving in the rightward direction.

Out Here on my Own
*Everyday is a new day with new challenges, new meaning, new outlooks, even tho its always out with the old and in with the new, there was always a piece of the old stuck inside, I was there for you, I was listening to you, but something hit me, I didn't know what, but it did, it was cold, felt like I was alone, not being listened to, like I didn't mean anything, to anyone not even you, like I didn't belong in life anywhere I was, But I don't regret moving on, but everyday, I can say I regret I left you like that, you just needed someone, and failed to be the one I promised to be, the past is the past, bunch of good memories thoughts, fall backs, but as long as there's a new day ahead of us to bring us new things to come, just keep your head up, be strong.* Goes to anyone with once a broken heart, hurt or not pull through, everyones strong in there own way, remember half the time you make yourself smile anyways, so why not find something to make you smile!

Everyday's a new day
Allow me to give you the grand tour of my mind, to the left there is an ever growing wisdom set in its ways giving off radiant beams of light paving pathways to my heart and all that I hold dear to my passions. Friends come and go, but those who have stayed through the years have grown to become family, for those who have shared their support systems through the times. I am deeply within gratitude respects to you and always will roll out the red carpet leading into paradise of the corners of my mind. To the right there is truth draped upon my personal meaning of life, optimistic outlooks paneled upon my walls of reflection. The extreme overcoat of poetry covers it all; I shall only bleed when needed…believe me I need not to do it always. In the furthest corner of my mind lies a pile of unfinished yet duly noted pages of written words, which brings me here to this segment of the blogosphere. With hopes of this becoming a grand masterpiece of my well thought out ideas, respective points of view, and other duly works of art.

Grand Tour
Somber room. Cheery music playing loudly, Drowning out the screams of lost lives. Pictures hanging depicting scenes of innocence. Ironic. Because all innocence is dead in this room. Mostly women but a man or two Trickle in with bowed heads. The door clicks shut and the faces in the room soften. Tension leaves shoulders. Some here for support, Others here to be supported. Chilly air hits one body, Two heartbeats. Jokes made to ease the atmosphere. Awkwardness. Could I cut the tension with a knife? I'm sure I could if I tried. Care packages given, Evidence to be burned. Look in the eyes of the ones who sit, Stares at the floor, Thinks of nothing. The slight chant of the protesters. Holding rosaries, Holding signs. All they want to do is save a life But sometimes a life can't be saved. New opinions, new outlooks. Do I agree? No. But here I sit silently. Does that make me evil? Does that mean I am as unworthy as they? I wish to never sit in this room again. I wish to hold life, not **** it. I pray for all in this room.
