"unacceptable" poems
They told me to sit small, legs crossed like folded paper, voice tucked behind my teeth as if silence were a virtue. Cover up Because if you don’t It’s your fault Your fault for their actions If you ask for help It never works “He has a bright future” If you need it to stop Need to make a change You can’t It’s your body But it’s their choice Your skin, a weapon turned on yourself distracting, disgusting You would never ask the same of a man People ask Man or bear The answer may seem obvious to them But no Bear Bear Always bear Because if it were a man It would be so much worse A man in a room of women Ecstatic and elated A woman in a room of men Terrified and petrified My shoulders? Do they distract you How about the bulge in your pants? That distracts me But I can’t say that That’s unacceptable and awkward So for once Maybe instead of protection Education would be the way to go Because the answer should never be bear

man or bear
by definition, lust is extreme ****** desire for someone by nature, lust is uncontrollable... I'm attracted to my thirty-seven year old male teacher and my eighteen year old male coworker and the quirky girl who sits behind me in history, what? by religion, lust is a sin, punishable by Hell, whatever that is. lust is unavoidable, but socially unacceptable to act upon.

lust
We live in a world where no means convince me and flirting is a green light for *** Where women are told, *don't get ***** and men are rarely told, *don't **** Where **** shaming is encouraged and victims are blamed. Where speaking out about **** is a call for attention and **** victims are silenced. We live in a world where **** culture is normal and that is unacceptable.

**** culture
I feel the need to apologise for the way that I am. I have no control, as if I was a computer programme. I’m sorry that the slightest thing can shift my mood, I’m sorry I can be impulsive and have a bad attitude. This inappropriate anger is not intentional and I swear to god I know it’s unacceptable. My friendships are a rollercoaster, it’s practically bipolar. One second I’m all lovey dovey and the other second it will be as if you were never my buddy. This is who I am and I hate it. I’m sorry I’m like this, I’m sorry I see no bliss.

Why do you do this? Your Army of Nothings Who lay in the sun and are all but sweet who swelter and sweat in that fresh cut grass mowed by a man you can't hope to know. And you, you there, with the grin Who's side are you on anyway? What made you the prince of the Army of Nothings; The leader, the first in command. You spout and you spit that ******** and bare your teeth at me like you're the bomb dot com You're such a disgrace. parading around with your head up your *** "So what's new?" Oh, shut up, You can't even fill out your pants. Why should I care for you, why should I feel? How will I ever come home? Where welcoming words and magical treasure, and stories that never come true but are good. Where futures of light once reigned so supreme I swore they would never run dry. I thought you'd missed out, you know, then and there, of the life that we talked of in dreams. No flowers and chocolates, no diamond rings, just love. Made of stuff so much deeper and denser and finer and lovely, and warm, and alive... But it's over, and done. and I can't have it back. So I go on avoiding the Army of Nothings as they come marching in marching in one two, at the ready I feel deep in my bones that breaking and tearing Help me, archangel! Save me! You promised! You said you would always be there in that carved-out big apple our home, once upon when we laughed and were happy and good. But goodness runs out. You made that as clear as a crystal that needs to be smashed. And I did that, remember? I left it all broken and you were so proud So proud I had chosen the right over wrong. yet you overlook all the splinters of glass all there all here all lurking in me. I don't want to cry or beg or to fight But I loved you in ways that she found unacceptable? So silly, so stupid, so big that it keeps you away *Not that I care very much For your army of nothings or things that remind me of memories gone with the wind* But I do.

We all have faces that we hide away forever and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone is gone and we look at what the years have done and realize that everything on the outside changes but what really matters is on the inside and that mostly remains the same. We tell ourselves stories in order to live and we cure physical diseases with medicine but find out that the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love, so don't hope but decide and have some fun on that final ride as you approach the end. Wash what is ***** water what is dry, heal what is hurt, dry tears that are shed, warm what is cold and guide what goes off the road so you can lighten your load and don't be afraid to try again as everyone goes south every now and then as we all fall in love though we disregard the danger but learn that it takes strength to love again but it takes courage to be loved. It takes strength to survive but it takes courage to live just as it takes strength to feel a friends pain and courage to feel your own pain, so change the changeable, accept the unchangeable and remove yourself from the unacceptable.                                                                              Jon York    2015

It Takes Strength to Survive but it Takes Courage to Live
Once you participate in a race, if not anything else, you know one thing for sure. Your own calibre. It's then you realize and understand you need to make an active participation in every race from here onwards. Your first experience teaches you a lot, since what follows later is an active participation from your side. Over a period of time everything of which you are part starts changing Now it's time to look for a better future Always keep in mind that a secured future cannot be achieved if efforts are not been made An uncertain future not only remains uncertain, but also keeps the present on hold. What is thought upon is not the aim, but also the efforts that need to be made. Always keep in mind take one step at a time while climbing the ladder, then it does not matter how long the ladder is. The only thing that matters and also will make a difference is when you fall off the ladder. At that point in time you will have to decide for yourself whether you want to climb again. It’s not a mistake or an error, something which is done intentionally when you fall off the ladder, since mistakes happen. Better learn from those mistakes and keep going A moment in time will come when you will realize and understand how everything started That will be the great moment in time, since that moment will be important Till then keep going. It’s success that everyone wants, but there is a price for everything, which you pay, including the success that you want. Success comes at a price. Better understand the outside world carefully and then act according to your own experience. Once a step it taken, there is no point in looking back Agreed it’s now or never, but only for those who know what they have been through in the past. Once decided upon something, stick to the same Understand and realize one thing for sure, time and tide waits for no one Always be truthful and honest to yourself, even when you are making all the efforts. Efforts never go wasted when the right direction is sought. Compromise and negotiation is part of the game What’s important to remember is mending your ways for short terms gains, something which remains unacceptable. Act wisely, but be sure that there is no shortcut to success. So it’s the passion and desire in you, inside you The willingness to take the risk and go out for something of which you are absolutely sure. The never give up attitude in life will make everything clear in mind Once decided and everything is set and settled in mind, then from that point onwards proceed towards your aim. Finally all that matters is success. So don’t waste a single moment in time of your life and act according to what you have planned. Definitely a moment in time will come when you will gain success and then the world will be at your feet. Till that point in time comes keep going.

*Man and woman, though different Are equal in the eyes of God. inexplicable though true but still Unacceptable for some perhaps Man is the highest of all creations Woman is the most sublime of all Ideals. God made for a man a throne, for a woman an altar. the throne exalts, The altar sanctifies. Man is the brain. woman is the heart. The brain fabricates light while The heart produces love. light fecunds, Love resuscitates. Man is the code. Woman is the gospel. The code corrects As the gospel perfects. Man is the genius while Woman is the angel. The genius is undefinable And the angel is immeasurable. Man is strong in reason but woman is invincible in her tears. Reason convinces the most stubborn Just as tears soften the hardest of mortals. Man is the ocean And the woman is the lake. The ocean has it's pearls that adorn; The lake has its poems that dazzle.* ***Man stands where the earth ends; And woman where heaven begins.***

Man vs. Woman
Yes, this word is worse than ***** Stupid, Vapid. Fat means Unacceptable. Outcast. Ugly. And I might have ‘Great legs’ And I might be ‘Thin’ But that doesn’t mean The fear is not there. It is forced upon us By everyone Until we are called Insecure And the cuts on my arms Only make that worse But we are also called Vain For only trying to love What we are.

I exist in a world of careful structure Taken out of Chaos and made habitable By strict planning and strict ruling— Structure is imperative Order keeps us going Deviations are not allowed If you wish to live in my world You must learn to follow rules Reliability is key Being dependable as the rising sun Predictable as a new moon Always infallible Disappointments are not tolerated Insufficient will be cast away Deviations are not allowed So if you can’t be trusted Then you don’t belong here There will be order in my house For in games of two, there can be no others There Are Rules And they exist to keep us out of Chaos They exist because structure Ensures that we don’t collapse So when your eyes are wandering You are marking yourself as inconstant Dangerous Unacceptable And I will stop at nothing Until you’ve suffered for every sweetness you’ve laid at another’s feet I will stop at nothing Until you’ve learned that you must always choose me I will burn you for every betrayal And some will call me jealous

In a fit of pique truths were written. In a moment of reflection all was deleted. Platitudes were written back instead. Who am I to speak of the dead? A wife was ungrateful with truth. Did a pen pal want what the sacred vows of marriage Make unacceptable realities? For whom would I have written? Who would it have pleased? Staring at a fresh e-mail in humbled wonderment that someone would give decent pretense to care I -safely back from war- now ask: what do you want to know? Do you really want to know? Is it my place to tell of seeing a man's insides on the outside of a vehicle who's occupants he unwittingly saved by stepping on the landmine instead? The mine splattered the survivors' vehicle in red. Is it my place to tell Of listening to the medic's confession? Hearing him speak of tasting the blood in the air like pennies on his tongue. There's a tale I haven't heard sung! I met my Shadow I embraced him so deeply that I As I had existed before Ceased to be. The naive child thinking it was Light The Predatory Survivor others (cowards!) may judge as Dark Were forged together Stronger perhaps Time will tell As the alloy of two selves is unified by a personal hell Cheering at outgoing steel rain Laughing after the whizzing of bullets is a memory Running, racing to donate more blood Mourning the fallen while bathed in the dim red glow of chem lights Watching honored corpses loaded in near darkness for their last helicopter flights Is this what you wanted to hear? Perhaps you knew. Perhaps you imagined you knew. Regardless For your consideration Thank you For your innocent Well-intentioned Beautifully petty Gloriously naive And honest letters Thank you. Truly

Prepubescent voices crawl back and forth A squeaking, scratching chorus of topics unbeknownst to the speaker Meaningless sounds produced just to be heard Drowned out by the unfortunately undeafening silence of headphones plugged into nothing Misdirected words, hidden insults, skewed meanings Subtle bullying pretends to be older and wiser when it is terrified of new things Gay, **** emo, **** laughter Because the body is hilarious Crowded faces: authority is buried under the splotchy noise Enter swear here _ _ _ _ _ _ _. Because ****** is an address And “You have no friends” is just kidding “Go **** yourself” is love Outward rudeness to the man who puts himself though it daily An example for the even less learned 7-year-old cursing Because ******* means nothing to them or anyone else. Sit down because there are seats Look in my eyes, taken back immediately stupidity realized in a golden split second of mortification Split second passes now with more phantom confidence One by one skip, saunter, slither down three steps Yellow noise recedes not fast enough Obnoxious created by too much television And its weird to be gay, and gay to be weird Unacceptable open windows to normality Jack my swag Kindly, Will you please shut the f* * * up.

Congratulations Your mom would've been so proud Instead of going the socially unacceptable route of drugs and eating disorders You went the slightly-more-acceptable route of disconnection, isolation, pain and emptiness Just like she did Except without the drugs. So as long as you're not burdening any of us And as long as we're happy with one word answers when we ask about your well being Go ahead and cry on your floor like you always do No one will bother you Because you have a degree and a job. Who cares about how you really feel? You've done so well going through so much. Congratulations.

Body appreciation is important. Learn to love the skin you're in. Yes, i posted a picture in which I am in my underwear. What more is showing than me wearing a swimsuit? Nothing more. Why is it okay for men to walk around without a shirt on but considered unacceptable and pornographic for women to be seen ******* Who created these rules? Who decided it was okay to discriminate against women? I don't ******* want to be "sugar & spice & everything nice," I want to be my own person. I am powerful. I am mad about stereotypes and "boundaries" placed on women. I don't ******* like the color pink, why is that a problem? I like blue, but I was raised in pink tights and pink dresses. I am breaking free. I am being my own unique person. A powerful woman.

Body Love
nothing can compare to that one moment of your life when you feel like everything is absolutely perfect. everything is as it should be. you feel like living your life like it should be lived. you feel like taking risks you've never thought of taking before. because before this one moment of your life, you were always too afraid of the outcome of that risk. you were afraid that it would be a mistake. nothing can compare to the moment where you find out something you thought would be a mistake actually isn't a mistake. sometimes, you have to make a mistake to find out if it is a mistake. even if you know it is already. if you don't take that risk, you may never know what could have been. you'll live your entire life wondering if you had taken that one risk, maybe everything would be how you want it to be. if you don't taste the stale cereal, you'll never know if it really is stale. tell the person you love that you love them. don't be afraid of rejection. for all you know, they love you just the same and are too afraid that you won't accept them for who they are to tell you how they feel. turn in that college application. maybe your grades aren't the best in the world. so what? don't be afraid of rejection. maybe you will get accepted to that college anyway, because they see how much you commit. go to the job interview. put on your best suit. your prettiest dress. don't be afraid of rejection. maybe the guy interviewing you has the same personality as you. maybe they like the same kinds of things you do. maybe you're perfect for this job. ask god for forgiveness. maybe in your mind, what you did is completely unacceptable and can not be forgiven. don't be afraid of rejection. god loves you for who you are, and accepts the fact that you made a mistake. but he knows it's only a mistake. and if you hadn't made that mistake, you wouldn't have asked god for forgiveness, and your relationship with god would not have been as powerful as it is after you have experienced his forgiveness. or maybe you're not religious. have you tried to understand any sort of religion, or have you just automatically pushed it away because it seems so ridiculous and makes no sense? don't be afraid of rejection. maybe you'll find something you can hold on to. something to believe in. and if not, at least you tried. you put yourself, body and mind, out into the world to experience something completely foreign to you. at least you know for sure how you feel now. take the risk. make that mistake. taste the cereal.

True Stories #1 This is the first of what will be a series of little vignettes. When I was fourteen, I was the alienate hipster rebel In a private school hellhole. Hair long, tie knot never pushed up, Unbuttoned button-down shirts, Camus lover, Siddhartha disciple, Small acts of disdain, Expressions of teenage hell-pain. One day, the principal Threw me out to get a haircut. Went to the nearby barbershop, Which was in the underground, Subway stop. Returned to school where It was Pronounced unacceptable. Twice more this charade-escapade, Went on, till the barber cried and would not Charge me anymore. Shorn like a lamb, My mother roared like a lion. The next day, the man in charge, Who would marry my second son, Three decades later, Called me in and sort-of-apologized. From that day, I never respected authority, Only learned to fear tyranny. See photo of my latest protest!

Team pt. 2
Why can't I fly? Because, I am caged in the bowels of bitter, deceit. Why can't I dance? Because, my body is bound to the gravity of unacceptable, honor. Why, can't I sing? Because, my lungs are choked by this haute reservoir of insanity. But, the Trapeze, artist... The trapeze artist, climbs the ladder of awe, itself, and walks the silver lining of death. Why can't I write? Because, my hands are bound in the filth of my past, meddling with broken things. Why can't I speak? Because, the honor I am bound to, is to live, life, behind closed windows. Why can't I see? Because, the blindfolds that sheath my eyes from sin, are more sin than any satan incarnate. But, the Trapeze, artist... The trapeze artist, climbs the rungs of the narrow road, and walks over the pit of doom, to save itself. There is no explanation for this act. So, why can't I shout? Because, I am voiceless to the concerns of the audience. Why can't I beg? Because, the world has no room for weakness, fear and more loss. Why can't I scream? Because... Because... Because the Trapeze artist dropped off the high-strung ledge of wonders... And plummeted into a darkness, that has robbed my audience, of all conscionable thought. Because... the Trapeze artist, is dead.

The Trapeze Artist...
Defining Lego Moment? What is that, I don’t own one! Life growing up was unacceptable – it was chemical and dispensable My life has never been a bed-and-breakfast - early childhood memories got me ill and susceptible Tryin’ to find a good early childhood memory is like NOT passing “the test”, because I wasn’t in class. So I ask, what’s next? Defining moments were replaced by worries and doubts, fears and shouts My, oh my, why couldn’t I have been brought up in someone else’s house?   I’m just me. So why can’t anyone see I’ve got dreams I want to turn into reality? I know, maybe I’m adopted! Oh, I could only wish that I belonged to a different home So who knows, maybe I’m supposed to grow old in a world where survival is at the core of my bones Future me, I hope that you see, I’m not like them, nor do I ever want to be “like them” -----------------Fast forward to today --------------------- I thank GOD for the life I was given and the road that was driven I’m here because of those dreams which started out as fears - I’m what I am because of those years I know that I wouldn’t’ be here if it wasn’t for those days of dysfunction and tears I’m at a junction in my life - I’ve realized that my unction in life is an exponential function that shines like a bright light My tears have been replaced with people who are sincere and true I no longer have to worry about the black and blue, now I can simply wave ado… So I chose to become not what I saw, but what I knew was right in my heart. I leaned on God and learned from stressful nights that choosing the road less taken was all part of this plight And here we are today…. Now, what does this say, about me? It says that I’m a child of Destiny, not a child of Disney It says that I’m a child of God not a child of the Devil It says that I am… Predestined presently, sensibly created even though I didn’t come from the best pedigree...

grade my writings in magenta, no red arrogance for me teach, blue note jazz margin comments, unacceptable marginalizing pithy succinct notes, always cute, hard hitting, even in day to day black or Bic blue, refused! give me ochre, amethyst, give me the colors of a new born morn, give me words of encouragement next to that nicely writ, without a self-serving high faluting exclamation point, astride my D, my F, a polite professorial funk you in azure gold leave me, write me in colors of hope, even claptrap deserves a nice funeral because gentle teach, this thought I preach, what color would you like me to grade your students in, your writs, when next I look twenty years from now? will you not leave me, be, in the color of better days enthused?

grade my writings in magenta, the color of better days
I won't mind being surreal, if you won't scurry seeing me in my real self, and kind enough not to think of me as outlandish as something like 'Shrodinger's cat' kept in a box that is both alive and dead! (to the universe outside the box as the' Copenhagen interpretation' implies, dont ask me how!) I am least interested in'quantum entanglement' which i can do without, but oh! mathematics that mother of all sciences is hell bent, it seems to hunt me down till I say uncle. They have  told me , what I am now is not mathematically possible! (whatever it means) They looked at me as if I don't exist. (Oh! my poor Shrodinger's cat I now understand your plight; oh ! to be both dead and  'undead' theoretically when reality chooses to go naked!) I just said this: I have no use to mathematics that refuses to believe in me if maths find me unacceptable all I want to say is this, how would maths even touch poetry with a barge pole? and don't forget, maths creates the poetry of the universe! **Oh! I am confused forgive me for being Buridan's *** that sees in maths 'Shrodinger's cat'** They looked horrified and in a moment turned to thick smoke and dissolved!

It's 2 am. Babysitting and watching old Disney movies-- nostalgia. It's 2 am. I can't think of anything but How I Met Your Mother.-- nothing good happens after 2 am. It's 2 am. Sending flirty texts to boys I just want *** from-- unacceptable from a girl right society? It's 2am. Why am I awake?
