"righten" poems
open wide, take the barrel, caress the lips
let the trigger be something
thats figured afterwards
as one thing held by
the stress of life,
let the burden of breathing
take the wind and dwindle
the passion you have left
to rekindle your passion to live
reloading the rifle
reviving every spiteful
feeling edging you closer to
the side of the high rise
in malevolence disregarding
the benevolence of why
you’re still sitting here
reading this; ignorance to bliss
let the goodwill of life foreshadow
that every stroke brings deep to shallow
letting life take the noose and tighten
until you loosen and righten
every wrong
let life bring your cuts to a heal
so that you know every human can feel
a pain get better and watch the weather
go from dark skies to milky clouds dripping light
and have the poor weep then sing together
so let life strife your feelings of self
so that you hear the whisper from
the storm pass,
and open your eyes,
don’t let the precedent of today
dictate the incident of
a familiar tangent
because with every feeling of pain
is followed by compassion of
the morrow

so the Manager called in
a staff member
and he said:
*"Tom, take this new guy
round the workplace
and smarten him up"*
So Tom took me round
the office and then
we went to see the Secretary
and he said to her:
*"Do check my Department report
My language is perfect -
just righten up my punctuation"*

drifting at sea
without
your voice the rudder
my soul
the wind
gusting and twirling
under
our constellations
now
now
catch and billow
righten
in joy
our dawn
rising on the edge
looking for
your smile
to me

And as I sit uselessly in a place where I have every choice to not be there
I realize that I may just be what they said
Every word they ever breathed about me
But does that mean that's all I am?
I'm a ***** yes, and I'm not afraid to admit that truth
But I can be kind and caring if I feel the need to be
I'm inconsiderate in so many different ways, yeah
But I might just give you the best advice that leads you to righten yourself
And I may just be lazy
Or preparing for all the drama you're going to throw at me
Yeah I'm depressing, but I'm also girly and loud and popular
Which leads me to believe that we're all everything we call each other
We are what we say and probably what others say
But we deserve nothing but the best
Because we may not be perfect, but we're all we've got and will ever have
