"refunds" poems
You don’t need to try so hard. You can wear the clothes you want. Do whatever you please, Express yourself the way you know how. You can wear those heels Just because you love them. Your true friends will accept you And all your little quirks. It’s time to let it go, Let go of all your fears of judgement. Stop caring what people think of you, It’s none of your business anyways. You are who are for a reason. You’re crazy, eclectic, A miss independent and a little rebellious. You like to defy the norms of society So why aren’t you doing it? Let go of all those rules and make your own. You’ve always stood for the outcasts, Paving your own path, Cutting the trees blocking your way. Why care now about fitting in When you’re a shining gem? You were born to lead, to conquer. This is your destiny, you’ve always worn Your individuality just like a badge. Don’t become submissive, Stop looking for approval, You won’t find it anywhere But inside of yourself. It’s the self-acceptance that comes first, There’s no better friend than you. Go on, look in the mirror. Remember, you better like who you are, That is the person you’ll be stuck with For the rest of your life. Enjoy all the strangeness, All the weird parts of your personality. There’s no refunds, no exchanges. You are who you are and that Is perfection; no matter what anyone says. Accept who you are now, Accept all the growth to come. You can accomplish even your Wildest dreams, those shooting stars. It’s time to just be, Time to stop leaning on societies Ideals and march on out With head held up high. Self acceptance is all you need.

Self Acceptance

You say, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” but I say surely something must taste nicer than the burning acid being forced back up your throat. Why not hug people instead of toilet bowls? At least they’ll hug back. Except Mia is your only friend now. And her cousin, Ana, of course. And I understand that you never wanted to die, but this is a thousand ton truck hurtling towards the edge of a cliff and Ana took the wheel a long time ago. There is no strength in this: in you, in a fear of calories. Even your bones creak as your muscles sigh with exhaustion - for this, is not a war you're winning. This is a battle with only one contender and I will not be the one to disarm you. That's your job and it always has been. I know you only wanted to be beautiful like all those stars in the magazines you saved under a file titled ‘thinspo’ but the only stars you ever saw were in your eyes from the dizziness and to tell you the truth, you are not pretty. For there is nothing “pretty” about the layer of fuzz your body grew to protect itself from the big bad wolf when really, the only growl was coming from inside your stomach. Or how your little sister is afraid to touch, let alone hug you, in fear of snapping you in two. For there is no glamour in having to remove clumps of hair out of the plughole at least six times whilst having a shower, just to let the water run down. Or that one time you "accidentally” took too many laxatives. Messy. There is nothing admirable about the way you sat shivering on your bed at night instead of kissing boys, or dancing, or eating ice cream. There is nothing to be marvelled at in dying. This, is not a life to be lived. God, this isn't even a life. This is being a slave to your own body, a walking zombie, a ghost stuck between two sides. You are not alive. But it was all still worth it, right? Slowly killing yourself from the inside out. A small price to pay for perfection, a bargain for a broken mirror; for a half-written book with 97 blank pages, a camera that only captures in black and white, a clock with frozen hands. And most importantly, for a peace of mind you never received. No refunds.

A Four day concert, created by Roberts, Rosenman,  Kornfeld, and Lang Was originally supposed be a three-day  music festival, and up it sprang But the citizens of citizens of Wallkill, N.Y. did not want their nice quiet town filled With drugged up hippies that would overrun, and with this idea they were not thrilled With many battles and protests, Wallkill passed a law on July 2, 1969 banning The would be concert from going forward leaving the town quite less enchanting Almost not getting off the ground, hippies all over demanding refunds for their tickets Stepping forward, Max Yasgur offered his 600-acre dairy farm so no one would picket The new location for the Woodstock Festival would be Bethel, New York No one from the other town would not have complaints or come uncorked Despite the many problems of people threatening to quit Woodstock got off the ground despite things still being chit This concert was poorly planned with two major setbacks, as news spread that it was free There were congestion of cars that policeman had to turn away, for as far as one could see Organizers lost huge amounts of money while hippies walked through gates without paying But it was estimated that 500,000 people made it to the concert and they came in swaying The music seemed to play non-stop as people sat and listened and some would play It was very muddy from all the rain of what it did from much of the concert everyday Listening to greats such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Sweetwater Can’t forget, Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jefferson Airplane and Ten Years After The concert ended and picking up the pieces began, that wasn't just the trash that was left behind It was the lawsuits that many filed against the organizers since beginning to end put many in a bind The greatest music festival in history later put to a movie that is divine Something that will forever be talked about from the summer of 1969 Copyright 2013 All Rights Reserved

i am cheap logic bought from a man on the side of the street who says it's the real stuff, nothing but the best and i guess you believed him, i guess optimism ran in your veins that day and i should be glad, really except you've been tricked, and the man walks away laughing with your petty change in his pocket glancing back to grin at your smiling face as you slip your arm around my waist and i pretend to be worth it dress me up, because i'm tired of painting myself i just wanna hear your description i like it better than mine take me out, at least as far as the road to show me why i usually stay at home i am a solid shell this logic has been welded into my surface and i make sense, just ask anyone i am a rock, i am an unmoving blanket i am a hand to hold, a smile to be reflected i am a solid shell within which the logic falls apart too bad wandering gypsies don't give refunds, eh? you'll never track him down be my computer genius, crack this code make me logic from spinning numbers make me make sense make me make sense make me make sense keep the optimism running in your veins i like you that way

logic
Running into yet another soft eyes and open lips Trying to magically feel something more than what exists Running into yet another guys arms that seem so genuine from afar He really likes me brought me my 3rd drink tonight He's tryna tap that... Intellectual portrait that I have painted of myself Running into yet another false hope of maybe this one is different He can't hurt me unless I allow him to penetrate parts that haven't been discussed This feels so right Running into yet another, "your the most special girl I've met" "wouldn't ever hurt you" line Just to be spoon fed leftovers from the previous drunken night Or the alcohol soaked on a pink moist thick tongue Running into yet another clear dream... (I can see clearer now the rain is gone) Love songs no longer play because he has taken me to a fantasy land from Saturdays night rerun of a previous session Picture perfect perfection precious pleasing. Please don't stop because maybe you have tuned in to the right channel Running into yet another guys lap saying I will dance for you and only you... And maybe him and only him. Because words have become so cliche and I no longer can count how many arms have squeezed me firmly but have released quicker. How many lips have accepted my open invitation to stay the night within How many eyes I have let pierce my soul but to no avail, they get what they want and dissolve. No satisfaction, no guaranteed refunds of that stuff he left with No mental pictures left of what ifs or possibilities of US being more than just lust A must of endless considerations and my ridiculous thoughts of actually Running into the same web of deceit deception. So many descriptions of how I ran away from myself and have been searching nonstop for the right sensation that can stop the temptations and erase the emptiness.

I went into the pro shop Paid my fees and turned to leave The man behind the counter said "you're new here...I believe" I said I'd never played here He said "there's things that you should know" "I'll grab us both a coffee" "Listen close...before you go" "The first two holes are easy" "nothing there gets in the way" "no bunkers, and no water" "just the way to start the day" "It gets tougher on the third hole" "There's some birds up in the trees" "They buzz you while you're putting" "Remember...birds on three" "The fourth hole is a dog leg" "It has a river on the right" 'Avoid the yellow caution tape" "We had a drowning there last night" I swallowed hard and stared back "A drowning out on four" "That's right" he said "don't worry" "At least it's not the wild boar" "The WILD BOAR?" I said aloud He said "he's on five through seven" "Don't worry much on those holes" "He's been sighted on eleven" "The eighth is fairy simple" "A par three that you can reach" "Water moccasins in the swamp" "And lots of spiders in the beach" "The greens are all receptive" "They hold well, just come in high" 'But, land is short...there's quicksand" "So...go in there...you die" "you make the turn, and grab a dog" "I give them out for free" "The owner says it's wasteful" "But, I say...just let it be" "The tenth hole is a par five" "It' one to reach in two" "But if you put it out of bounds" "I'd leave it...if I were you" "you know about the wild boar" "so eleven gets a pass" "he's got some bite, that sumbitch" "He might gore you in the *** "Now twelve...is quite a pickle" "I'll tell you watch out now.....not later" "We have a situation there" "It's fairway's full of gator" "What the hell is that you say" "There's a gator out there then" "Today there is but somedays son" "You can meet as much as ten" "You must be mad" I yelled at him "I'm leaving...I'll not play" "on a course so full of danger" "There's no way...just no way" I asked him for a refund he pointed up above his head "no refunds, only rainchecks" "and then only if you're dead" I sacrificed my forty bucks And left, out to my car The pro just sat and smiled "I've scared off thirty one so far" I know I'll not return here not with friends or by myself not with spiders in the bunkers Or gators on the twelfth.

There’s a part of me That’s still the 5 year old kid The part of me that’s scared That knows I’ll need a blanket From the bottom of a bottle To hide and protect me From the monsters in my mind I used to be a real boy Now when I close my eyes, the image rises into view. From back when you lied to me And my trust lied in you Well that trust lied too I want to forget, A blank slate of memory Like this blank page in front of me But it’s not blank It has everything on it Like when you walked to your door And you locked it Turned to me and said “We’re gonna play a game” I looked up to you innocently And asked what’s its name But a five year old mind isn’t developed enough To understand the term ******* The discomfort building in my heart Didn’t seem to fit Because how could it all Be building up to this How could I know You were a Grimm Brother’s Pinocchio Because when you lied, your nose, it didn’t grow Oh no It much further south And much better hidden At least until you were alone with a kid and Then liar liar’s pants were off Like they were on fire I know what a deer feels like When it’s seen by a lion Cornered by four walls And a locked door I was about to find out What was in store And they don’t take refunds I tried to fight you off But to my David This time Goliath won And with absolutely nowhere to run I did the only thing I could I cried out And in a second your hand covered my mouth Silencing the sound Of an innocence being stolen And a soul being broken “Don’t make a sound” I’ve been told we all have one creator So tell me Gippetto Did you know Was it in your perfect plan For all of this to happen Or is the blue fairy in charge Handing out wishes to those with blackened hearts Or maybe none at all There was only one mercy granted from it all It’s defined as a repressed memory For ten years it was kept from me Blacked out with flare ups of anxiety Side effects of a mental infection Always managing to evade detection Until I was fifteen When the wall finally came crumbling down And while there were so many people around Who could I turn to Who could I possibly trust After becoming a victim Of the ultimate sin of lust And if you have figured out the name Of the game I was forced into playing Then you’ll understand what I’m saying When I tell you I used to be a real boy

Play my card Cut me up Destroy me I'm already broken Fill my void with lies Smack me with insults please Look me in the eye and tell me how much you hate me Walking blind Blood pours out Losing life I scream your name All I hear is your laughs I'm not angry Deceit flowing from me No refunds So don't bring me a receipt of apologies They mean nothing Just take your blades and dice me I'm just here to make you happy And all you do is take your knife and stab me

The Heartbreak Hotel (Poem by Serenus) …Where you check-in Whole-Hearted But you don’t check-out In the condition you started It’s simply heaven When you walk through the lobby doors But hell becomes apparent When reaching the highest floors Where a bride and groom Enters a beautifully decorated room Flooded in misery Dripping in gloom They floated in on a cloud But the rain came And they separated So not to drown Empty King-Sized bed With tear- stained pillows Blind to the outside world No light, no widows Countless visitors come But their story is the same Hopelessly in love, then… Earth shattering pain You are guaranteed Not to enjoy your stay Because the love of your life Will surely go away Where a deliciously decadent Love goes stale Dreams go to die And faith goes to fail Remember.. No refunds This is the final sale No pets allowed... Welcome to The Heartbreak Hotel

I am addicted to skin, not a particular woman's skin, all and every woman's skin *(stop here, If you are uncomfortable, with this writ, for me then, it be a consoling poem, an adoration of skin, a comfort food, that I cannot live without)* see what you cannot see, inside this one's brain-eyes-tongue-soul-whatever whatever you name his five sense-sifting-all combination, I don't care I drink skin all textures all colors every woman every woman ageless   every woman street passing touched and taken no fabric but the fabric of her skin tween my thumb and forefinger on my stippled senses enlivened I taste skin, like a good poem, the cheek, the shoulder bare, the in between spaces, the minty hint of décolleté, the ankle chain, turning my breath heated, tips of red noses, I take and I keep and no, no refunds, no returns I see your skin, as a gift to myself created, donated, by you, and by me, aggregated tho you think I am selfish I thank you always I hear you cells splitting, rejuvenating, you nourish, I flourish I smell your skin-scented au naturel aroma, and inward smile, a parfume named after me, who knew? you knew stop enough! softly, no, softly never enough... every wrinkle, every blemish every tablecloth of skin so lovely set, so smooth glowing, I weep, I seep inside and touch me touching you and for every cell of mine dying, two of you, two for you, so you may live longer, one of mine, lingers within you evermore you nourish, I flourish

Ride Of A Lifetime
They say to play with words. I see each page is a slide and we *smile while we're going down*. We're make-shift, Doctor Frankenstein, piecing together words that would lay lifeless without our spark. We're other people, dress-up, with our lens-less glasses, pens in hands that can't quite reach the tallest shelf. Through our words we rebel, show the world we are more than naïve. Just because we don’t think in refunds and rebates and 401k plans... Doesn’t mean our futures won’t be bright if we only hope to gain a sense of ourselves, in that moment when the tire-swing goes so high, you try to touch the sun.

Attempted Ars Poetica
What is it about the world     that leaves you so conflicted?     why is your tone     pale as bone?         Glance at this man     who suffers the burden     of the misery you make     all too real.       Does the world pay for your dreams     and refunds your nightmares?         Where the source     of this your sorrow?   Is summer too hot,     winter too cold?     Perhaps the rain is too wet, and the heat too warm? Or     are you just spineless,     and not as bold as they say you were?

I'll invest in something else and you can keep your broken promises.

The Covenant of Warranty and other things
The echoes of her screams Reverberate throughout my head As the most untender slap across the face Lulls me to sleep. Then morning comes And my wrists have become tense With his fingered bracelets As I try to break free. Clenched teeth appear like jail bars before me And it would take the reverse of all the guilt I can muster To knock them down. I don't have that. I have plenty of bystanders All eagerly entertained by someone else's misery. Heck, I manage to entertain myself With my masochistic tendencies. Welcome to the show, my friends. I gather it will be worth your time.

Just Enjoy the Show (no refunds)
'It'll get bad reviews, we should scrap the project before it breaks the budget.' We sit and talk art and beauty, love and fear, my heart cracking open, and you, rushing in. We sit and talk, play at this deadly game, ignore the consequences, shun the inconsistencies. The words, words, words, they swirl, and we slip, we slip, we slip. It's a real cliffhanger. Hearts on sleeves, music weaves, stories come to light. Secrets, oozing out between the well crafted lines of our carefully scripted plot. We sit and talk circles around the herds of white elephants that come to watch the show. Mocking us, they laugh as we tiptoe through fields of daffodils under dark skies with rainbows. (Scene change now) In dark of night I squeeze out hope from my heart. God ****** hope twists up and knifes me in the side, leaves me bleeding on the floor. And you, fool you are, rush to my aid. If you're saving me, who's saving you? You, with your secret decoder ring from your box of caramel corn, cracking my heart, you peel my layers. Your questions run deep but your feet will run faster, and I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall. Gravity's a real drag; I've felt it's pull before. Me, with my third eye see the pan and play. This show will end leaving us all sitting in our seats wanting another thirty minutes, a tidier ending. This ain't Disney. We'll feel like we've been ripped, ripped, ripped. No refunds here, go file your complaint with the man upstairs. The audience stands, turns to go. White elephants know there's no silver lining, no *** of gold. They threw popcorn at the screen, but you didn't notice. I always hated white elephants; I thought you did too. Who invited them to the show? We step outside, no curtain call, no applause. Hail falls down on this sunny blue day. Afraid to touch you, but I want to catch you in my mouth. Would you please just go away, before I end up with lumps on my head, in my throat? My eyes blinded by the sun, the hail, this ill fated show. ​

take it east where the girls all sleep with monograms stitched onto their pillows and to the south where loving requires a ring and i’m draped across my bed, naked, breathless you’re here, you’re here, in the east, in the south and i let you live inside of me for one night so i’m folding my naked, once pure, body in half asking for refunds for the morning afters- when you didn’t take me to breakfast or even kiss me, my forehead, my wrist you only love me at night with whiskey whiskey breath and whiskey **** the morning after, the morning after

Thank you for your purchase. I recently bought a computer, complete with: Poorly labeled documents, (Untitled53.jpg). Terms and conditions; a ten-second scroll-through, mind you. Pre-accepted, pre-agreed. A clutter of programs I (supposedly) need, and a firewall, to keep your virus out of my heart. Sadly, however, this model lacks a restart.

All I came up here to do was to make a poem and to get some extra credit now with that said I guess I really should earn it. Now I don’t know what kind of poem you really want, but that really doesn’t matter since your already here and have already given your two dollars to Japan and my job Is pretty much already over before it even began. Now I could do some Dr. Seussish stuff and just rhyme words with wish and ish that would make a mish and then you would find a magic cat fish, but that would be kindergarten repeatin-ish. Now this may not be fitting with what you planned, but I’ve already told you that I don’t care what you want I’ve doing this for me, Te he. Now that Dr. Seuss is out of the way maybe there’s something greater that I would like to say. Now two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; oh wait I’m sorry that’s not my poem. Hmm I’m stealing other people’s stuff I guess you guys aren’t getting your money’s worth tonight. Now I don’t know what I could really bring up that isn’t ****** up, but maybe you could rejoice since you get to hear this magical lyrical voice. Now this has pretty much been off the top of my head and hopefully you haven’t been wishing you were dead, but hey I think it’s been pretty okay. Now that you’ve heard this and have planned to leave your seat I would like to convince you that you shouldn’t stand to your feet. Now this has made me feel like the man I do hope that you’ve understood the sarcasm and jokes since this wasn’t only made for young folks. Now since this little fling is almost over I would like to get yo numba, but who am I kidding you didn’t like this part of the show so I’ll just go, but before I go I would gladly like you to know…that there is no refunds.
