"reputation" poems
If I wasn't gay would people care? Would they actually let me breath the same air? Could I actually go to school, without people being so cruel? Could I live in a world with no hate? Maybe people would love me if I was straight. It's not as easy as people think. I can't just go to a shrink. I didn't choose to be this way. You really think I'd want to be gay? I don't want attention, I don't want fame. This isn't some sort of game. I am who I am and thats okay. Most people don't see it that way. I only wish I could be the same. To have a wedding and it not be shamed. I want to have kids and not be judged. I don't want my reputation smudged. But apparently I'm different now. Sick in the head somehow. Therapy and shock treatment for something that can't be fixed. How did I get put into this mix? Toxic and tragic, that's my life. It's like I was stabbed in the back with a knife. I'm gay, what's wrong with that? I get treated like some rat. Using your holy books and your religion. To fight against something that makes no difference. I want to be a human not a punching bag. Always getting called a *** Let that word have power and it gets to you. But that words as good as whatever is stuck to the bottom of my shoe. I love being this way. I don't care what you say.

Gay
Together they were the perfect team. She was tired of perfection long before she met him. Constantly having to put up a successful front was exhausting, but her barrier of bravado was faltering. It's hard to find imperfections in an idyllic world. He didn't want to live in the life of his reputation anymore. The tornado that his life had become was beginning to ruin him and he wanted nothing more to find some quiet. It's hard to find solace in the storm. No longer did she want to create masterpieces; she wanted to wreak havoc. She had a taste of the life she wanted, but once you take the first few steps on the path of self-destruction, you cannot turn back. The whisper in the wind becomes seductive. Like a drug, she needed it. She made a U-turn, a complete diversion from the road that had been paved for her. She felt a rush from the change of direction, and fell in love with it. He was her change of direction. It's hard to find fault in someone that provides the mess you've been searching for. He wanted nothing more than some peace in his whirlwind of a life; maybe that's why he gravitated towards her. She gave him the comfort that he had desired for years. She made him feel as if the rollercoaster, designed as a downwards spiral, that he has been riding since birth was starting to calm down. She became the sense of calm in his brutal life. It's impossible to reject something you have been seeking for years. Together they were unstoppable. She lost herself in his chaos and she took it on herself. She was an angel who lost her way, blinded by desire for imperfection and love for a boy that finally made her feel again. He was a hurricane that found the solace in her that he has wanted for what felt like an eternity. He revelled in the peace she brought to his life and he loved her more than he could articulate. She found her demon; she became a fallen angel, the devil reincarnate that took the chaos out of his life and put it into hers. He found his angel; he became a quiet rainfall that gave his tornado to the girl that craved the destruction it created. Together they were the perfect team.

When you love someone who doesn't love you back your world ends. When you love someone who doesn't love you back you keep pumping love. You are so oblivious and eager that you give them so much love. No matter what they won’t give it back. When you love someone who doesn't love you back. You feel nothing but absolute pain and sorrow. You feel like there nothing left except the love that won't be taken. Your love is so strong and there’s so much that it floods you. When you love someone who doesn't love you back. You feel hopeless because of all the love you gave this person and how much you'd do for love in return. You'd give them all the time in the world, all the love in the world. You still do this relentlessly even though they wont give you five minutes when you need that five minutes. Being in love with someone who doesn't love you back is a burning red pain. It's a pain like nothing else because no matter what you do, no matter what medicine or treatment you give to that pain it's still there. It's there when you see his face, hear his voice, remember his touch. It's always there. When you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back, you don't have to worry too much about them intentionally hurting you. That's because everything small memory you've over analyzed hits you across the face over and over. You're constantly hating yourself because this one person was so important to you and now he's gone. “I should've done..” “Why was I so..” “No wonder he doesn't..” Those thoughts are toxic and seizes up your body. When you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back, you get so ******* close to hating them. You hate that they've ripped you open, eaten you up and have left you to decay. You hate that they have let you hate yourself more than you could ever hate them. You hate them because of the things they gave you which weren't all good. And the things they stole. Like crying on their shoulders which they gave, but your pride they took. When you're in love with someone for the first time and they don't love you back, you never want to fall in love again. You never want attachments with anyone because of this substantial pain that is constantly there. You never want to kiss with love, talk with love, witness love. You never want love unless, it's that one person you love. That's the only thing that matters. Love had a horrible reputation, it's either make it or ******* break it. Not take it. When you're hurt by someone who can't feel pain, you wish you never fell in love. Never in lust, never started talking, never meeting. You wish you could erase their smell so you wouldn't ever have to think about why you remember it so well. You wish you can't vividly remember how their arms felt and how they were once so welcoming. When you love someone who doesn't love you back, you are pathetic. You cry in bed while replaying your first kiss, first date, the time you fell asleep together. You can remember every feeling from the first time you felt love to the first time your heart skipped a beat because, well, it was ending. You remember the goosebumps running down your back when you last touched his hand as you left his car. That was the last time you'd be in his car. And that was the last time you touched his leathery skin that was wet from your tears. And that was the last time he would know how much you loved him. You replay every memory over and over until they're worn out. And after they're worn out you can't ever get new ones. You love this person and you will for a long, long time. But they won't ever love you. They won’t get those stomach tickles when you hear their name. They wont miss having their chapped lips against your neck tickling you elegantly. Because to them that doesn't matter, they didn’t feel love. When you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back, it's almost impossible to stop loving them. No matter what you do. No matter what they did. No matter how it hurts. No matter what, you will love them. When you love someone who doesn’t love you back, you are incapable of stopping because you are paralyzed.

The era of social media and virtual interaction Where it is so important to keep your reputation And yet indeed it'll take you nowhere Because you're just another particle in their atmosphere No matter how hard you try to seem kind They just can't bother to reply, they seem to be blind No matter how many thousands of follows you've got Your friends are still the same old scattered lot Selfies galore, plenty of them Show yourself to yourself, feel like a gem You go with your friends riding a bike Post a picture on FB and it gets many a like You're all content about it, it feels so nice After which, conversation turns to ice At gatherings telephones sound Ringing all day, a new friend was found Introduce yourself, one more time again And fall into oblivion, it's starting to rain

Social media rant
Pinto? No, not the wild-spirited, color-splotched mare with mane streaming like flames-thrown behind in the wind Taking desert inclines with scuffing hooves on rock catching her balance in mesquite curbing? The sage, dust All that nature throws in its pathway to knowledge toward treachery of crosswalks? “P-l-e-a-s-e  don't slow down! Stop signs--? ”No! Just keep going! Don't slow down now!” “They'll hear us coming 3 blocks away!” Pinto? Clogged carburetor--? No one much-mentioned rear-end inferno reputation?? A mere twinge in my signature Woman-without-a-clue “Hey, it runs, right? Gets where we're goin'?” Kids duck in back seat so as not to be seen In the cloud of smoke We make our approach Hiss Spitter, Belch, Pop and-- BANG! --Like a gunshot Kids take cover on street, in backseat duck down so not to be noticed... “Oh Ma!   MA!!! Not right here! Farther down!” ...so not to be seen ...by friends that matter... in this ride from hell! Backfiring Beast-- “Friends” skitter away from what will emerge from the smoke and fumes of high-risk-situation Kids spill out through jammed door to unexpected accolades onto equality's curb of laughter   Public school's wake of exhaust and relief I drive mercifully away Start of another school day

Red Ford Pinto--Nice Body--$500
Situations find themselves unraveling uncontrollably, picking at scabs of superiority, delving into wide expanded pits of insecurity. The master of masking change would be the ever drifting reputation, it leaves bitter, it brings hate. May I express how much I hate? Nothing squirms and squiggles uncontrollably more, than watching reputations crumble, due to fake superiority. What do I want, change! What does she want? Change, but she gets insecurity. To understand the confliction, insecurity must paint walls of peeling purple hate. Well, something in you will change. You may remain stubborn, uncontrollably defending your sudden superiority, you’re just choosing a rotten reputation. I wish to fly you to a new nation, I mean shes breaking your reputation. I’d like to find the spot in your mind resided by insecurity, I know you’re not studded with superiority. She’s finding a reason for everyone else to hate the way you attract uncontrollably. Nothing about you, in you, should change, because this digs deeper than the change her and my relationship took, than are used to be reputation of adoring each other uncontrollably. of ignoring that insecurity. of the day she learned to hate, spindling a slippery net of superiority. Her comfort zone of a home lays in superiority, I’d rather cry endlessly than change by cultivating my hate for her, for her debilitating take on your reputation. Transperency touches insecurity and you are broken, falling uncontrollably. I will continue to hate her superiority, but that won’t reflect on her reputation. You mustn’t change your disposition, but lose the grip on insecurity Don’t you dare hate these words, they care, they love uncontrollably.

**** you, Dandelion. You are a bitter plague. Your putrid reputation sows a discording stay. Your spread your potent seed, a curse among the others; how will thy beauty flourish when murdered is thy mother? Rose has her vanity, Daisy has her life; but you hold a talent for fertilizing strife. **** you, Dandelion. What a pity to be you. Thy beauty holds no power, thy talent ruins you.

The Dandelion
A narcissist is a dummy bear on crack. They have gummies for brains. Viewing the world with mooching eyes, flirting with greed and gluttony, playing games with the devil. The narcissist is no friend of the family. They are crude and thick with pollution and toxic waste. The Narcissist brings nothing but suffering and pain. If you bump into a narcissist in the wild, run and don't look back. A narcissist wants attention and they don't like bold and brave people. They chose victims by kindness, reputation and intelligence. The smarter and more popular you are the more likely a narcissist will strike at you. You have to be smarter than they, set boundaries and strict rules. Don't allow anyone to break your security or your self esteem. A narcissists biggest flaw is ego, strike them in the ego ***** and watch them turn blue and fall. Find their weakness in their gaslighting, use it to fight back. They blame everyone but themselves for their actions. ©️ 2022 By Amanda Shelton

Welcome to the informational age We're enjoy the world of technology Never felt this modern world could emerge Magical world with braveness and courage. Welcome to the social media age As everything we do is on page We live like birds in a cage It makes us falling into a rage. Welcome to the insane and madness age To make headlines,create a **** sweet savage Can't believe we're on this stage But we are still holding our grudge. Welcome to the sweetest scientific age Your reputation,you better manage Like passenger manage it, as your luggage Saving it, save safe from the salvage.

Welcome
How tenuous this grip we have, how slight our hold remains When all around  loud braggards boast that power now pertains, We see the banner headlines splashed across our daily rags And redneck demonstrations cleans the streets of Spics and **** When blood runs in the gutter as the battons rise and fall And whilst taking tea in style the filthy rich ignore it all. The blonde leader of our nation struts, postulates and brags While the rest of us skive off around the corner smoking **** Our  kids ingest confusion as they loiter on the street Unknowing  our delusions make illusions held, replete. How tenuous the grip we have, how slight our hold remains As our allies shower cold distrust convinced our fault inflames. What chance of clear redemption, what remedies revive When truth is lost to darkness can our honesty survive? Reputation cut to shards, confidences ****** That leaders of community no longer hold our trust When white is caste as black and then to green and then to grey And sanity refuses pontification one more day. How tenuous the grip we have, how slight our holds remain As twilight turns to darkness caste against a larks’ refrain. M. The White House HAMILTON, New Zealand 25 July 2018

How Tenuous the Grip We Have?
Is it acceptable to **** anyone and everyone you want, Be mysteriously exposed in your photographs, Act carelessly with people and friends drunk and drugged and dicked out of your mind, Forget the hurtful and blissful past for a reputation, Exist in a way the girl you were never thought you could be the girl you are, Because you’re in your 20s? You remind me of the characters Greta Gerwig plays in some of her films, But not Gerwig herself, Although you do look an awful like her Hispanic version if there was one; I guess that’s you. I bet when I was placing the edge of the razorblade against my wrist, You were getting penetrated and plowed by a **** between the legs. Your innocence was smothered by your lust and Our history got erased by your fears and flaws. I just wanted you, But then again, everyone already had you, And it was not my fault; It was your choice.

**I have an issue One that weighs heavily upon my heart One that, if left unchecked, threatens to tear our social moral fiber apart An issue I will express in English, with some help from my old friend *Swahili Hii imenisumbua akili, kwa hivyo kuiongelea ni kitu tunastahili Hii story ya immorality tunaichukulia so so light Dem akiji'expose kidogo mbele ya kamera haina mseo, tunampandisha cheo kwa society, all of a sudden ye ni socialite The new cool, eti ‘good girl gone bad’ Hiyo njaro siyo polite* We have a lot more to live for than that which we seem to be aware of It’s not always about a good time, or lack thereof Our reputation as a culture I believe is something we badly need to take care of *Siyo game Siyo Jokes Si eti mambo na fame* It shouldn’t just be about who drinks, who smokes, who vomits and who chokes *Hiyo lifestyle siyo dope Na siyo right* Six hundred and seventy something ways to die… choose one I refuse to go… speeding down a highway, drunk out of my mind, on another booz run However, I may not exactly be the right person to point out how messed up you are On a scale of one to ten? I’m probably as guilty as you are ******

The idiocy, Sheer insincerity Of political apologies. It WAS meant to offend. You chose the words carefully. A dog's-whistle in your mouthpiece. Your career is your priority. You are a glorified carnival barker, With a reputation as an intellect, But many do detect ******** in your overblown prose (except those who are equally verbose). Will your papa be disappointed If you are never to be anointed? Your education makes being PM a career choice, So power for it's own sake should really be a piece of cake. So how about it, Boris? Will we hear more Horace? How much do you want it? Enough to blow your own Trumpette?

He Wants To Be Prime Minister Because He Can
Call yourself a friend of mine, Forcing me to “neck” beer and wine? Lovingly mixed with ***** and gin, And dash of ketchup added in, Wasabi for that extra kick - The whole thing just makes me sick! It’s not fun or cool or clever, But a study in peer pressure, Present in the world we live in, Where for a guy or girl to “give in”, Is expected for their reputation. But what kind of expectation, Is encouraged sado-masochism? A concept likely to cause a schism, For those who didn’t use their head, And unsurprisingly now are dead. I am sure as you will surely see, And the poet Dylan would agree, That as long as you ignore The deaths of one, two three and four How many, many, many more, Are needed til we scream and cry? “We caused too many youths to die!” And for what cause? Acceptance. Whose loss is needed for our repentance? It’s all well acting free and wild, But each of us is someone’s child - Whose loss would surely cause sadness, Hurt and pain and grief and madness? And stomaching death is much harder Than soap or dirt or grease or lard or Whatever miscellaneous things This activity inevitably brings. Just saying “no” might make you quiver But trust me; it’s better for your liver - And living x years sans hurt or maim Is worth > than 15 minutes of fame. So do the maths before you do it - Or else I bet you’ll likely rue it!

how sad to be misunderstood to be evicted from life to have the full tenure of a torrid human existence gesture horribly at you in faultless reputation like that of a rancid rage over a lost trinket or to be quarantined while fingerless skin scolds and noiseless voices are raised in a donated generosity of savage ignorance striving to make copious amends in vain efforts to regrettable slow acting poison that boils the mind oh how sad to be misunderstood such varicose viciousness oh it’s sad quite sad to be misunderstood to live through and inoculated hour glass giving limitless time to a wildfire of idiocy and when your breath speaks they laugh black laughter that shatters wet umbilical truths shudders knowledge gestures to smoking nostrils oh how sad, how sad it is to be misunderstood to be drenched in the rain but not get wet in which antiquity rests with its mythologised stupendous ill effects getting vivid shadows massed all around oh how sad it is to be misunderstood until dactylic, hexameter, elegance completes and slithering syllables by their antiquity focus a shuddering shriek that sends an exploding heart through your chest

Gangsta Poet
He walks through a wood once every month He takes the same route near The Wishing Pond He meets with the Collector in a secluded building Who never fails to purchase every new painting The man was an artist, the Collector was a fan His works and his reputation was known throughout the land The Artist had it all: a nice house, a loving wife, friends in every town and city, and wealth to last his life Every month, another painting Every month, the Collector's money His life was set, his life was perfect All he needed as an artist was a self portrait So this next month's painting would be special For when he would pass, this will be his memorial He started on an early morning, standing in front of a mirror With skill and patience, shading and texture, the first sketch was done The painting process took a few days Without sleep or food, for hours in his room he stayed Near the end of the month, the portrait finally done Proud and exhausted, the artist exclaimed, "This is a special one." The next day, he readied his portrait to take To the Collector, who was expecting to be amazed With a glance at the picture before he could leave He noticed many flaws and said, "I want a perfect me" He sent a letter explaining the delay To the Collector, disappointed, he lessened the pay For days, the Artist fixed each flaw The big ears, the small nose, the feminine jaw Every day he found a new imperfection But after months and months of fixing, he achieved satisfaction He took his self portrait on his once monthly walk To the Collector's house, pass The Wishing Pond He tripped on a rock, dropping his portrait Falling into the pond, his art was ruined The canvas had sunk, the water grew murky The paint spread around and clouded before him The cloudy colors swirled in the water's waves The Artist, distraught, sat in heartache A figure rose from the water, the colors had faded He recognized it immediately as the perfection he painted His portrait was alive for to not be was imperfect His creation looked back at him and exclaimed, "I am The Artist" Throughout the years, the portrait had adopted The Artist's life With perfect skills, perfect fame, and even the love of his wife The Collector, impressed by its own work, gave it double the pay He also terminated his contract, he and the Artist had made The Artist was left with nothing His life stolen by his painting Embodied perfection had taken it all Living wishful thinking, alive from The Pond He tasked, and pushed, and berated himself to achieve perfection He succeeded, but lost everything to his perfect version.

The friend we all wanted with a smile we all need, she was funny and loving, just a regular teen. Black dyed hair with platform heels, nobody noticed she was missing meals. A song in her head with a knife in her heart, these rude little kids were tearing her apart. "Too skinny." "Too fat." "Too this." "Too that," This confused little girl was getting kicked to the mat. Teenage life is a struggle alone, but she was being bullied and had problems at home. We spoke up and spoke out, but the school swept it away. A perfect reputation was bound to stay that way.

That girl
do not be seduced by those with a reputation of a heartbreaker do not allow them to strum on your heartstrings because you are not someone's instrument. do not misinterpret their charms as care or love for you do not allow them to throw beautiful words down your throat at night because you will wake up in the morning choking on them and they will be nowhere to be found.

*******
(Author's Note: For those of you who have read "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, here you go.) I am used to insults after seventeen long years. I should be, I create half of them and suffer through all of the rest. I lived in New York for part of my life, so I am also used to violence. I am able to rebel against everyone, opposing gangs, the Socs, even my own little posse of greasers. They are like brothers to me, and I am willing to lay down my life for them. Not that I'd ever say that out loud. I am not without pride and I have quite the reputation to uphold. I am rough, tough, and a guy you want to have on your side in a rumble. But at the same time, I have seen to much for a kid my age. Fighting, blood, and a good guy getting in trouble with the law for something he didn't do. Death is the worst. I am affected most by this, so I have built up a wall. I am truly the one on the edge of our gang. I am an outsider. I am a greaser, a hood, and proud of it. So you can call me what you want to, but I am used to insults after seventeen long years.

I Am Dally
You hold the hair dryer in your hand Blowing hot air right at your man Looks so nice right after the cut Talking about *** gives them enough Your stories keep them on the edge What you do behind his back How your needs aren’t met Glad you use contraception Underneath the veil of deception What happened to make you this way Thinking that cheating is ok Betraying all your lovers trust All your love turns to rust Flip em over, do it again Theres always something That’s wrong with the men So shallow to look inside Find out where your fear hides You don’t need a good reputation Underneath the veil of deception Someday soon you will see That things don’t work dishonestly Try to see from the other side If you were deceived could you abide? Karma isn’t a new ideal See you one day when you are real
