"stereotypical" poems
Sun drawing out sweat causing clothes to fall off Deep breaths and quiet grins Eyes of strangers met Shirtless against the wall but only in the head Standing like a scarecrow so nothing stands out at all, oh god Chitter chatter to cover up But the sweat is growing thick Better act natural to keep from becoming the stereotypical male **** Keep cool, self, be slick

Pretty girls don't cry Guess with all the makeup how could I Ladies don't drink Guess with all my pain ill just Take your man Sober Cuz i'm pretty right? Stereotypical Diva, She too quiet Guess she stuck up She's gotta be a *** why she always lucks up? Sugar baby,Slays Waist training made her that way The world is insecure Lots of pain that we endure reflecting judgment on others, to forget our demonic flaws

Stereotypical BS
Bob Marley Spoken Word 5/1/2012 What comes to mind when I say; Bob Marley? Is it a stereotypical ‘idea’ of a Rastafarian; ***** dreadlocks & *** smoker? Or is it a … An intelligent and talented man; who wanted change in a positive way? Yeah he had dreadlocks and didn’t see any harm in the herb. That was his apart of his religion and beliefs. You can’t call yourself a true fan if that’s the only reason you’ve liked him because he smoked *** It’s time to get over that; you need to realize what he truly was about. He gave us knowledge about history, Uplifting and positive rhythms, happiness when you’re down, music to stop us from worrying when shaken and songs of freedom. This man told us powerful messages through his music. This guy was brilliant and I sure as hell don’t think of him as a ***** dreadlocked *** smoking Rastafarian. Who’s a bad influence on children, most definitely not! Children should listen and gain knowledge. We in the world are lucky to have a man that lived; who still lives in millions of hearts away. I’m glad we had such a wonderful human being he is one of the biggest inspirations to me. I will live to tell messages in my writings that will be a part of history. - One Love

Bob Marley Spoken Word
“Yorkshire! Yorkshire!” I hear the EDL scream, as if somehow the county, relates to their regime? Trying to push on others their far right views, and tainting Yorkshire with their taboos cos Yorkshire to me, is whatever the **** I want it to be, I do love a bit of local pride... maybe to revel in the comfort it provides, and even though stereotypes say we're tight, as well as stubborn, argumentative (they're prolly right), But I'd rather that, than be uptight, like a stereotypical southerner might I recently read a quote from Stuart Maconie, “England has a bottom half, but there isn't a south, in the same way there's a north” The North in the south means desolation, A cultural wasteland with deserted stations, a place built on violent, aggressive foundations, With mid summer Arctic temperature fluctuations, Nothing that comes close to a nation.... But that's not what I see, To be from the north means good fish and chips, with tomato sauce and vinegar, it's glory on the lips, I see people willing to lend a hand, A honest chat about the weather as you stand at a bus stop that you never planned, It doesn't matter whether it's a cob, bun, bap, barm or roll, Or that the north was ****** over by the outsourcing of coal, Or your opinion that we're all just sat on the dole, drinking tea out of a ***** bowl. We should still all have a similar goal, To have a good time, and not hurt a soul Sometimes I do like to revel in the divide, but I'll always welcome people from the other side, Acceptance is not sin, and if you let it, it generally ends up with a win : win What's Yorkshire to you? I haven't got a clue... but come sit down so we can have a chat and a brew! And hopefully we'll both learn something we never knew.

Sixth grade was the first time I remember feeling out of place in my own body. I tried on a shirt from the year before and realized I wasn't the same size anymore. I felt strange for a moment, then brushed it off. I threw away the shirt the next day. By the end of middle school I knew I was bigger than my friends, but I tried to avoid thinking about it. I just wanted to fit in like the rest of them. Freshman year I got called fat and decided to make myself invisible. Treated every food as if it an allergy. Lost 30 pounds in 60 days. Told my parents I already ate. Told my friends I was eliminating junk food. Told no one my secret for years. Gained my weight back then lost it just as quickly. The never ending cycle of starving, binging, purging. Starving, binging, purging. Starving, binging, purging. Nobody notices when I fall off track because disordered eating is only cared about when the victim is skinny enough that you can see the evidence. I have been terrified for four years to speak out for fear nobody would believe me when I told them. No one expects a bigger girl to not know how to feed herself. There is something to say about a culture so warped that I get upset by the fact I don't have a stereotypical eating disorder body. Sometimes I wish it was more obvious, so at least that way they could see how hard I'm trying to be perfect... To fit in. America, am I not sick enough for you already?

Not Sick Enough
Has anyone heard about her? This magnificent girl, my fangirl parter, the other half to the photography duo? If so, please contact me. Todays her birthday, and yes I'm a few hours late, but I'd like to say a very Happy Birthday to my dear friend. She has helped me through tough times, and has been through a lot herself, but she's a survivor. She's MIA, and I need my friend back... Well, I hope she is doing well, she's finally becoming a teenager (but totally not a normal stereotypical one, who needs normal anyways?) and I'm so proud. -tear- She's come a long way and I've had the privilege of knowing her personally. Hope you're okay and that you see this, Maha. Tata for now ;) -Creep

let me equate my genitals to a predatory animal to illustrate my ****** prowess and mating standards in song: my vampire squid don't my vampire squid don't my vampire squid don't want none unless you got an anaconda *** my disdain for your personality and general mentality is also strong, simply because: i like *big ***** and i cannot lie you other sisters can't deny that when a boy walks in with a six pack and a hose thing in your face you get wet disembodying objectification, stereotypical representation, hedonistic utilitarianism, and *** ed with some rhyme: black boy sippin' white wine put my fist in him like a civil rights sign then he came like aaaaah!

Dairy 6 of a ****** Superhero
MONKEY IN A RED FEZ DANCING TO ABBA I watch the children play on a sunny Sunday in Rotterdam like a stereotypical alien studying humans. Their cries rise and fall like seagulls as they swing sea-sawing or blurring into one on a brightly coloured turnstile. A man looking like a badly drawn cartoon turns the handle slowly  of a broken down barrel ***** A monkey in a red fez dances on the end of a chain. The barrel ***** spews out everything from Abba to Franz Lehar. The decrepit old man and even more decrepit monkey appear as if they have stepped out of another century. I am far from home. The day is dying. I read from my battered book Hamsun's HUNGER. It's lurid cover torn half hanging on/off. The park deserted now as night steals its colours. The last words of of this the final chapter are lost to me swallowed by the dark. The barrel ***** peersists the soundtrack to some forgotten film The monkey red fez fallen at its feet. The monkey blissfully asleep. The music caught entangled in branches and  leaves. I watch the yellow lights blossom one by one a silhouette of houses like a stage set. Houses like cut-out silhouettes a stage set. The last lines revealed under a passing  lamp "...where the windows shone so brightly in every home..." I laugh at such a coincidence. Leave the book on the bench for some other me to discover when the sun comes up. And return to my space ship.

MONKEY IN A RED FEZ DANCING TO ABBA
when made a designated drinker for a designated driver. when stomaching stale pabst and rationed sweet cider. when frat boys fulfill stereotypical homophobia. when twenty grade A reds can't last me longer than a dream. when old man nightclub and triple kills usurp the crown of moderation. when you fall asleep with so much in your blood to spill like beans, or milk not worthy of tears, and i keep a loom in my heart where i weave a string of everyone [with myself] and every fray in warp or weft is mimicked by the splinters shuttled to my hand.

beer pong is less fun
I want a relationship That's anything but typical One that defies cliches And the definition of spontaneous I want to be so in tune with another To the point where it feels As though a piece of me Has crawled its way into him Permanently I want a relationship That takes a detour from anything Stereotypical Such as dinner and a movie for a first date To thrift store shopping In the streets of Seattle At dusk While ending the night At a warm cozy cafe Situated on a quiet corner In the shadows of the city Where poetry is either Softly spoken Or bitterly belted out From within one's own soul On a rugged beaten-up stage With nothing but a spotlight Mic And wooden stool All while we sip on tea (Because I don't like coffee) And reminisce on the moments Worth remembering That were made that day together In between fits of laughter While secretly dreaming About the future ones to be made In the comfort of our minds As we tightly grasp our warm mugs In front of our lips To hide the shy smiles That dare to make an appearance

A Cup of Originality with a Pinch of Spontaneity
i am choking for words. i hacked off the tip of my tongue to spite my quick wit- stumble over it. lusting for beauty through text/ creation is hollow at best- a dollhouse a fantasy, dystopian as per usual for an idle mind losing hours and pickled in hate's brine.    salt in the wound    salt in the wound angst, angst, teenage angst. a kiddie anarchist. stop fighting it. turn up the stereotypical. depression playing on the radio. don't try to be more original. what haven't we seen? choking for words and stuck on painted portraits all is well, but never exciting i'm exiting this uneventful existence all for once and once for all. -and you thought there was a winner buried in this chrysalis- well, the rhythm has returned, but i'm sick of painted portraits and lost hours and sugar-coated expectations of the truth how uneventful, how unexciting and i'm tired of razorblades, but at least they're honest speaking down, insults and lies and i know i need to sleep but i'm fighting it. i'm ready to move on, but not for long not for long and you'll see me as a butterfly someday.

Lymphoma There was a fundraising run for lymphoma and other cancers A little notice for it on top of the garbage can at a home grown Jamba Juice right off the BART in Berkeley It hit home: what I was up against People don't run through the streets casually and my cat had lymphoma I couldn't find him last night for the first time He had his weekly appointment and I brought in something that didn't look at all like he was the week before They paged the vet and she came in saying thing like he needed an IV and tests and wasn't there nothing else to do didn't she say that he needs hospitalization--his liver we can't tell you what to do but it would all go in a circle and come back to a suffering being who had come to the end of what science could do for him what she was trying to tell me in her barrage of words came through loud and clear They brought him in with a blanket and a catheter and he struggled until he got warm and then rested I wanted him to see me, as the last thing he saw in this world She took the three syringes out of her white coat Don't hurt him, just don't hurt him my only request There was no pain Only relaxation, sleep and then at last no heartbeat Her ability, her smoothness of execution was perfect and he went limp in my arms not suffering The nurse took his body away "It's the last gift we can give them" she said and I imagined a man, a stereotypical image of a man pacing back and forth in a white coat in front of a lecture hall full of vet students saying that exact thing and there was a serious air in the classroom and some wrote this down, it was so true, sound, capable and final but this woman said it this veterinarian from Michigan and through my tears and grief there was some kind of undercurrent of relief, that there is no more pain for him He no longer suffers and I did all I could do

I’m the most stereotypical teenager you’ve ever met. I spend all my time with my friends. I like frappuccinos and I’m obsessed With my social media pages. I fell in love with a boy; And, when he broke my heart, I sobbed on the floor for weeks And then dyed my hair blonde and moved on. I wore a pretty blue dress and sparkly heels to prom. I graduated at the top of my class, President of the honor society, Friends with everyone. I’m your stereotypical teenage girl. I’m the main character in a Disney channel original movie. I have everything, I think. Why can’t I sleep at night? What they don’t tell you in the movies Is that when I’m not with my friends, I feel lost and alone. When I was heartbroken, I fell apart. I’m successful, but at what cost? The stereotypical teenage girl gets 3 hours of sleep a night. I spend most of the night doing work, But I also spend time texting my friends and flirting with boys. When I’m alone with only myself, do I still fit the stereotype?

Who am I when I'm alone? Dunno
The most beautiful thing I've ever read- was a love poem that I found, hidden between the dusty cupboards of my mother's room, filled with things that just "didn't matter" anymore. It was flooding with thoughts I waved off as- "foolish" with fake plastic vows of love, not unlike those crisp, shiny valentine heart rings, only given to the most attractive every February. Stories of parting, from which shone a glossy sparkle like that of a fake glass diamond, labeled with black numbers as something worth a thousand. I've always thought that if you were going to leave someone, you should be aloof and cold. If you make "warm memories", won't the parting just be that much harder? That sunset that was described as being unrealistically ethereal, I tried to see it myself, even hooking my feet around the cold metal bars of the balcony, and pretending that I could fly. But that sunset was fake too, I discovered. A synonym of those medals that you eagerly await to get, but in the end, aren't gold, or silver, but just a sheet of mocking plastic, thousands of identical ones of which have been made, in a factory choking on smog, thousands of miles away, in China. There was always that villain, who would try to break the lovers apart. Sometimes, the villain was described as, "dark", and "Irresistible". I was puzzled by that fact, mulling obsessively over the idea, Why didn't the protagonist get with the villain in the end? I was undeniably jealous, of the heroine, who seemed to draw everyone to her with a warm light, that I didn't seem to have, no matter how hard I tried. She was a perfect damsel in distress, waiting for her partner, who would always, always, without fail, come to save her from danger and the unknown. They were both risking everything for what they loved. "Stereotypical love poem," I scoff, willing myself to throw that piece of paper away with the trash, But- to this day, the most beautiful thing I have read, is that stereotypical love poem, now tucked between two bookshelves, which are full of things, that "matter" now.

A- She is just like me. A leader. A strong, independent, bisexual woman, she controls the alphabet from this end, and everyone respects her.

I don’t like this game. Hundreds of eager fingers, Racing for recognition. Racing for fame. I don’t like this cliché. Swooning women, Making young hearts melt. Putting the illiterate to dismay. I really hate this irony. Independent women, Eager to be unique and obscene. Conforming to age old stereotypical crap.

Pessimism
I’ll never start a fight Indeed you start the flame, And I’ll explode Perhaps it’s my crimson hair that attack’s my soul But stereotypical propaganda aside I have nothing to hide Indeed you call me out I’ll trash your name I live for love and peace But there’s only so much hate one woman can’t escape I beg for release And pity your air You walk with your noise so high All just to hide your shame inside All while making me look the fool But I refuse to take blame for something I didn’t do   I’ll never start a fight, it’s beneath me But I will finish it And sometimes it’s in the unlikeliest of ways But the best part is really just not caring what the hell you say Your words rot and decay like ash to the wind I like to blow them and spit fire, it’s just the way I am I don’t take any kinda mess or fuss It’s beneath me ©Jessica Stull

It’s Beneath me.
I saw her everyday As I walked home from school She would stand against that same “No Smoking” sign I never really understood How she could stand against that sign And disobey it everyday Or maybe she didn’t understand it I mean after all she did stand there In her fishnet stockings and 5 inch heels with money slipping out of those stockings Smoking Just smoking until there was nothing left to smoke on that ole cig She smoked that thing religiously everyday As if it would make her immortal Although, ironically, it did the exact opposite Maybe it’s like her So stereotypical But maybe she’s the exact opposite She stands in those infamous heels and fishnet stockings Like a stereotypical ***** But maybe she just got off her minimum wage part time job at the costume shop down the street Maybe she’s not a stereotypical mother But that doesn’t mean she’s a stereotypical ***** either And she’s also not a freak nor an outcast Just because she is NOT a stereotype She’s just a person Just a woman Standing at that same “No Smoking” sign In her favorite 5 inch heels and fishnet stockings Who likes to smoke so much she may even think it’d make her immortal

Fishnet Stockings
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When I look in the mirror, I do not see beauty. Flaws. Flaws. Flaws. Growing up in this generation, it seems you are not beautiful unless you are thin, tan, airbrushed, well endowed, etc. The list goes on And On. All I see are in the mirror are Flaws. Flaws. Flaws. Countless times I have wondered Why can't I be beautiful? When I was seven, I came home after Doing makeovers with friends. I asked my mom, Am I beautiful yet? She looked at me with sad eyes and said that I was always beautiful. Of course, I didn't believe her. All I see in the mirror are Flaws. Flaws. Flaws.

A Stereotypical Beauty Poem
The aftermath of betrayal Those upon a corrupted throne shall witness my reign of anger Though not stereotypical My wrath with come a little bit stranger Fury with grasp my fingers and lips And I will dismantle their establishment using cunning as speartips
