AMBIGRAM VIII
Recto:
Yesterday was Christmas, and the days
already start to grow a little longer.
In our hand, the new year‘s fledgling, stronger
though more fragile too in many ways
than this bedraggled, aging crow, its song a
a sad, repeated phrase among the blackened
trees along a river. So sit back and
raise your glasses to it, do the conga,
auld lang syne, then hit the sack. And black and
white explode, a throng of rainbows—gaze!
You‘ll see it, wakened in the morning haze,
ascending as the tethering string is slackened:

Inhale and hold it in.
You don't want to be called a *****
Even by your closest friend.
Exhale and let everything around you disolve.
There are no worries at this point.
There is nothing to think about.
Only the thoughts of what you have just done.
They start to sink in
And your thoughts come at you like never before.
The walls around you have only disolved, as the walls of your thoughts build up 10x as strong.
Tring to break through them only acts as a self distruct.
So you hit the button,
Once
Twice
More times than you thought was possible.
Especially after saying you wouldn't hit it after the first.
Running away is hopeless, as you end up where you left
Like many others.
You are not like them.
The ones who are lost in thier own loop.
Learn from thier mistakes.
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Onto something new we see.
A different country, a different coulture.
Swallow and discover the opposite.
There are no worries.
There are no thoughts.
There is nothing at all.
The only thing that sinks is the liquid inside your empty stomach.
The walls are blured
And your perception on reality is fuzzed.
Like a kid in a bouncy castle,
you don't want to leave.
The echoing sound of your parents escorts you out though.
You follow them home
And before you lay into slumber
They remind you of school in the morning.

My parents often ask me, why are you so stressed, why are you so depressed, . . . . . why are you so . . . crazy?
Here and now I am going to answer that question.
1. stress
The main reason I stress is from responsibility.
RESPONSIBILITY
The word makes me go insane
All of it causes pain.
Sibilings, five younger sibilings,
they all have their things.
they each have someting that either causes me a responsibilty or stress, because its a constant worry, love.
School, all eight classes,
you expect aces.
I can't be perfect, but you want me to be, and that is a huge responsibility.
Home, all of it,
every single bit.
A home requires everybody to have a responsibility.
2. deppresed
The main reason i am often sad, mad, or a mixture of both is that you wouldn't accept me.
NO ACCEPTENCE
To know that you would hate me,
stops me from being free.
Gender, i hate it,
why do we label ourselfs why dont we quit.
I just want to be free and ya'll dont like that, so i can't.
Sexuality, mine is different,
and you would accept it.
The world is different why cant you see that, why is different bad?
Religon, the worst of all,
the lectures make me feel so small.
You force and force and it makes me wat t be farther and farther away.
3. crazy
I am crazy because you dont care.
OBLIVION
You can't see me trying so hard,
the only things you see tears me apart.
I am trying, cant you see,
being perect for you is always who i've been tring to be.
Don't you see me working, all the time, trying to please all of ya'll.
Perfection, its impossible,
nothing can be perfectly aligned on the table.
Why do I have to be your perfect christain daughter who does so well in school while I am unhappy? Why can't I be your unperfect person that follows their dreams and is happy?
- Your unperfect human, Zan.

There was an Old Person of Tring,
Who embellished his nose with a ring;
Ha gazed at the moon
Every evening in June,
That ecstatic Old Person in Tring.

Tring tring tring...
Hello, is it you?
Can you hear me?
Say something...
The silence is killing me.
Let me relive the lost memory.
I still have your number saved,
Your photograph in my pocket.
Tring tring tring...
Hello, is it you?
I waited beside the phone for days,
To hear you voice one last time,
To tell you how much it pains,
Do you still miss me?
How is she?
Does she love you more than I did?
Now, I am unknown number,
That was once on your speed dial.

Tring tring
My phone rings
Me: Hello, who is on the line.
Nature: Hello, this is Nature.
Me: tell me what can I do for you?
Nature: I am nature. I want my life.
Me: what you want?
Nature: I am losing my property. With which I lived so far.
Me: what are your properties?
Nature: My trees my plants and they are my life
Now I understood it's a "Nature Call" real Nature. Not a guy with a name "Nature".
The way we are cutting down trees
Made me think
And this lead to Global warming

In the wake of my self destruction, when i thought all hope had escaped my reach , a whisper of a voice came calling deep with in the night.
Softly wrapping me up in tender words of encouragment, unbeknownst to me this voice had a goal to vanquish all my self-hatred by gently nudging me to rise up and fight.
Willing me to stand and face the devilish hauntings that are relentlessly stalking me ,constanly tring to creep through the past's closed door.
Pushing me to believe in my self and my inner strenght, validating that i can no longer hide from the shadows of uncertainty nor fear what they have in store.
Make no mistake it is painfully obviouse that I have only been treading water barely keeping my head above the surface just waiting for the current t o drag me under.
Stiffin up that upper lip and walk with your held held up high, almost maternally spoke this whisper of a voice, which is now reigning down like thunder .

Their profiles were empty

Oh where oh where has my little bell gone?
The one that I had on my bike
It used to help me go about the place
And do the sort of things that I like
I could warn others of my approach
Or greet them with a cheerful “Tring!”
Now when a bell sound seems appropriate
I have nothing with which one might ring.
So where oh where has my little bell gone?
Cycling just isn’t the same
If I find the blighter who took that bell
I’ll give him or her lots of blame.
One day I’ll find another such bell
Then I’ll be more full of zeal,
For what is the good of riding about
Without something upon which to peal?
To peal and ring, ****** and toll
And generally let the world know
That one is going places and fast!
(Hoping not to receive another such blow)

Barely above a whisper I hear a calling to me
Drawing my body near
The seductive voice that beckons belongs to the beautiful sea.
A gentle kiss by the waves sprays across my face
As slowly I dip in my toes
Refreshing is the coolness captured in our first embrace.
I'm in awe of her power each ripple she makes is so bold
Exploring myself as I dive
Deeper and deeper I sink releasing my secrets untold
My senses may burst from my journey tring to take it all in
A memory eched in my soul
The wonder inside me when the sea washes over my skin.

we talk
I gawk
into the abyss we walk
do you see how those empty eyes spark...
I do
we do
love each other ado
your secrets I accrue...
blood spill
hearts drill
tring tring we fill ear to ear through vaudeville
commotions instill ...
strangers once
enchanted into the same ambience
parting through resilience
into Oblivion...
you should not
I shall not either
drift back to that oneness once sought
whence hearts of ours aflutter...

Will anybody accept me
See I'm tring to help
Will they
That's all I try to do
I can't remember
The last time I was selfish
All I try to do is help
And all they do is hurt me
Well I'm done with it
Fed up with it
You don't want my help
then fine
Suffer
See if I care
All they do
Is cause me pain
**** that
No more
I think I'm a good person
I hope I'm a good man
We will see who is happy
In the end
I'll have the woman I love
In my arms
A roof over our head
Food on our plate
And plenty more
that I can promise
And they will
Have nothing
And see if I care

Run. Run.
Puff. Puff.
Run. Run.
Sip.
The daily life,
Of a slaving *****
A sip of coffee,
A drag of the cancer stick.
And so the daily ritual begins.
The mail box beeps,
In a rhythmic beat,
The type of sound,
That makes you feel,
Like the back of your brain,
Just met a window pane.
Tring. Tring.
Shuffle. Shuffle.
Tring. Tring.
Click.
Pretentious people,
Pretend to be friends,
The knife behind their hands,
The smile plastered in.
The daily meetings,
The usual pains,
With the motor mouthed,
Sweet tongued *****
Gulp. Gulp.
Slurp. Slurp.
Gulp. Gulp.
Hic.
The day ends as usual,
With a bottle,
What a kick.
As you swaddle over,
To that one room pit,
That you call home,
And see only in a swill.
Beep. Beep.
Tap. Tap.
Beep. Beep.
BANG.
You wished it over,
But the ritual just began.

you talk
like lions roar
and shrug
like there's nothing
in the earth below
your heavy lisp
rings through the room
even as aproned women
scrape their brooms
you talk of recovery
you talk of gain
you talk like
you have never been pained
you talk of casinos
the tring of money
you talk of wealth
like it were milk and honey
you talk the talk
and then talk the walk
we make through the woods
you talk again
this time of stolen goods
we cross the river
you talk
we feel the night shiver
you talk
we dream of sleep
you talk
we avoid counting sheep
you talk
you talk
until we see
the sun come up
it is a crisp morning
ready to fill the cup
i wait to hear
from a world
i don't live in
but i am met
with a silence
that is
most enlivening
and that is
when i see you
for the first time
for what you are
your eyes
grey much dull
hiding the
ancient sadness
of giving up

*this world is out of control
everyones looking for sympathy
with the governments
trying to control
everyone tring to make money
from tragedies and lost souls
the news reports it
so they can find their next job
why do people continue
to feel sorry for themselves
do they not have a life to live
or do they live a misrable life
why doesn't anyone have hope
hope for another life
a life with love
a life with joy
a life of happiness*

I see her in the east en'tring my world
Shining streams of optimism and hue
So bright a light, peaking like a turtle
Yellow and orange, with slight shades of blue
I see her right above me, en'tring noon
Bringing life from night to all those around
So we hit our peaks, albeit too soon
But the world turns, the sun starts to cast down
We get a beautiful sunset sight
Purples and maroons cover my dy'ng fate
Because even the day must turn to night
And before you love it all, it's too late
Just as ev'ry morn the sun comes to rise
So it sets, halting eternal demise

Who am I?
I'm just a girl.
Lost.
Alone.
Trying to find my place in this world.
Who am I?
I'm just a friend.
Tring to make things work.
Hoping this time I won't end up hurt.
Who am I?
I'm just a daughter.
Broken.
Scared.
Missing her father.
Who am I?
I'm a team player.
Always giving my all.
Playing in the moment, not waiting for later.
Who am I?
I am me.
Waiting for the day, I will finally be free.

I've lost you in the ambiguity of my words
The puns and metaphors
Tring to figure out my speech
The parts of you that were lost in translation
How can I piece together
A sentence that starts with you
And ends with us?
The words elude me like a deer a lion
I am at sixes and sevens..
Trying to define homophones
Twice this weak.
Logic walked away from me
On the eve of my flight
A flown fool filled with fuel of
Rage
Hate maybe.
Burning all that personified
The meaning of you
While
The truth of the irony is that,
You are all I write about.

Numb little children born and abused

They don't feel a thing no more
Not even the whip

The long twisted night of grief

Playing DEATH with the doll like
Hallucinations
We've become

Not break
