"unappealing" poems
Its just *** So why you catching feelings When your body was the only part of the deal and We agreed that your mouth don't come with it Do you want us to quit? He would say As he ****** her soul from between her lips And tighten up his grip on her hips You had a choice before You dont wanna be "just friends" anymore I never wanted a rrelationship You got yourself into this situationship So stop that whining **** He whispered looking into the mirror that was once her eyes Before he made her blind Before he couldn't see through her I llove what you give to me I love when you pleasing me But I don't want you loving me The *** is just enough for me It was fun when it was hard to get Now you're just hard to respect Now your eyes are clouded with regret He moaned thrusting into her mentality Stroking her disabilities To love herself To love anyone else Cause he's all she can see He's the only thing that's real He's all she learned to feel And he's just expecting her to deal Chill out with the feelings You're getting unappealing Your soul is so revealing The poet in you lost all her meaning You're demeaning Youre no longer a woman You're a substance You're just a thing He reveals stripping her of self security Ripping off the bandage that she placed over her heart so carefully But you're light You shine so bright You're all I think about at night You make everything so right But you're making me weak Love is sweet But not for someone who makes a living in the streets I'd rather love you in the sheets And rip your heart out before you leave The biggest punishment that life could ever give Give to you I mean The biggest punishment would be falling in love with unloveable me He thought carefully Quietly Watching the tears fall from her face Watching her steps as she leave his place As his home and heart and soul becomes empty again He only knows how to cause pain Only knows how to inflict gentle suffering Cause everyone he's ever loved left him in the rain But she let him in And he's letting her go again. After all its just *** So why did she catch feelings When her body was the only part of the deal and He gave her the choice before To be "just friends" and nothing more Although he wants so Much more .

Deep within a leafy dell There lived a hairy fairy Who very often cast a spell That was frightening and scary. The only friend the fairy had Was an old green warty toad, He never thought the fairy bad, Just lonely and old. So he’d sit with her and croak And watch her practice magic. She very rarely often spoke, This to him was tragic. The fairy dress; the fairy wore Had seen better days. It was ***** tattered, creased and tore The hem hung loose in frays. Her head seemed always in a cloud, He never saw her smile, Her wand no longer taut and proud But still she was not vile. Somewhere inside he saw her love; He longed to be her mate, So he prayed to God above And asked her for a date. She thought he saw her as a joke. He was playing with her heart. Up she went, in a puff of smoke, That gave the toad a start. Never having seen this done before He had a mixed-up feeling. His warts and looks she must abhor And she found him unappealing. For days he waited there for her Because he was alarmed; A toad and fairy love was rare He thought she might be charmed. If she would only hear him out, That he may just explain. Then she, he felt, could have no doubt His love just would not wane. But if his looks she hated so, Then this he’d have to take. He’d just hop-off; away he’d go, Take bravely his mistake. He realised, ‘how sad it is, I never asked her name.’ With one loud bang and mighty **** Back to his side she came. “It occurred to me, you might be kind, My name is Nuff,” the fairy cried, “And I can read your mind.” “Fairy Nuff,” the toad replied. Then she kissed him on his cheek A shock that made him wince. Before he had a chance to speak He was a fairy Prince. She was beautiful and young, Like his clothes, hers were new. A love that’s ‘Magic’ is not wrong Especially for these two.

I observe the current of clamour from the far corner, over there wishing I would blend with the limp air And soak into the absence far away. So, don’t ask me why It’s in my nature to be shy Just leave these flawed bones to decay... even so, I didn’t ask for your kindness It’s just an act muffled with blindness I know it could never be true. I have learnt not to trust those who are nice to me Eventually they will push me away, out to sea waiting for the waves to break through. Yet my body tingles with this burdensome feeling This sensation blooming inside is unappealing... all I can do is blame it on you. Blame it on the way you walk Or the way you stumble when you talk Or the way your hair sits on your forehead. Blame it on the way you smile with your eyes Or the way you stare up into the skies Or the way your ears can turn bright red. But by all else above, Blame it on the way you made me fall in love.

IS THIS LOVE?
Mirrors can be scary things. Sometimes they'll tell you that you're something terrifying. Or that you look great but you're not on the inside. If you ever look in a mirror and see something you don't like, look beyond that. Look deeper. Because, everything you see that's unappealing, it's not true. It's only the mirror playing tricks. Everyone is perfectly made, and you are made a certain way for wonderful reasons. Don't let your mirror fool you. It's just jealous of your beauty, because all it can do is reflect yours.

I am ugly. Maybe not in the way the human race perceives the word, but in the way I perceive the word. I am ugly, whether that is in the way I smile, look, dress or the way I see the world. Maybe, life isn’t about seeing the yourself as beautiful; maybe it’s about seeing yourself as ugly, as dull, as plain, as unappealing as it is and still, above all of that, loving everything ugly, dull, plain and unappealing. I don’t mind being ugly, because ugly is what I want to be. You hear someone say the word ugly and you think negatively. Ugly, in my mind, is even better than beautiful. Everything has beauty, but only real things have flaws. Being ugly is not about being unappealing to the eye, but being appealing to the heart. I embrace the fact that I am and always will be ugly. I like it that way. I am full of flaws. I have crawled my way out of hell and got a little banged up along the way, whether that is what someone means by the word ugly I am okay with that. I am banged up. I am flawed. I am imperfect, defective, faulty, distorted, inaccurate, incorrect, erroneous, imprecise, fallacious and most of all ugly. The most shocking part of all of this is that, you are too.

I am ugly
tickling tape worms living in ape arms squiggly shapes getting fat like grapes and traveling in veins like a gutter swallows rain like an utter in pain painting pitchers so milky white tight like an overstuffed mite bee or egg infested ceiling unappealing but crack is revealing my inner thoughts statutory holocaust saturated oil spots aggravated foil plots plotting for a battle

We are just like this poetry (pt. II)
Hungry, no breakfast again Nosed pressed up to the screen door of the cafeteria While the other children play I watch and sniff the air while they eat Wishing I had those soft, delicious rolls That cold milk I had bologna on white bread And green Kool-Aid in a thermos Always warm and unappealing by lunch time Same thing every day Once Kathy gave me a roll And it made my day

My head is this galaxy of exploding stars and swirling planets, though every glimmering star you see behind my blue eyes that lost their blue color years ago are shooting stars that long died out. That's why when you wish on me, I can't come through anymore. I am a walking hollow. Somewhere between the parking lot where I stood and knew I would never smoke a single cigarette to the roof top of a house where I smoked a whole pack in a night because I thought that's what would make things better. Somewhere between hanging on every word you say and hanging from a noose made from sketchy rope. Somewhere between honesty and not being sure if what I'm saying is a lie. Somewhere between "I ****** up" and "you're ****** up." Somewhere between those places, I find myself listening to songs I usually don't and drinking chemicals I always said I wouldn't. I'm looking for something and I put my faith in finding a person, which is unfair to whomever I choose to place it on. The weight of the world...My world. I got to the point where I didn't care what happened to it anymore. I threw it in the air so now it bounces through infinite space. It's unappealing and covered in glass shards, wrinkles and scars. I can't blame anybody for not wanting to pick it up... But I'm hoping someone does. If walls could talk, they would scream vile words in my face as I trace cloud patterns through volatile gray skies. In the Summer I pray for Winter and in the Winter I pray for Summer. I wish I could say I'm OK with Fall because it's the best of the worst, but I know when I get there I'm praying for a Spring bloom. I always want what is furthest away from me. Can that be my excuse for why I put distance between the people I love most?

It's pointless Lying here all day Childish dreams A diet of Whiskey and Coke Cigarettes and **** Food just seems so unappealing Sometimes Other times I participate In a gluttonous ritual and eat everything at hand. It Makes Me Sick. Oh well though, Life goes on.

I dip my head to avert your eyes every time we pass I hold my breath to prevent from speaking and proving myself an *** I pretend I know what you think of me, that I’m strange and unappealing I fear I’ve blown any chance at knowing you and sharing these feelings

Crush
Today, I am beginning Only to end. This body has blossomed in a field of green; Has bled shades of red; Stared at a horizon ablaze with yellow; And now, this body will face The bluest of skies. Whether my skies are clear or Consumed with droplets of rain, I will always end up seeing Nothing but blue. Nothing but 10 shades of blue, Until I see another sun set Until a palette of colours are Painted on the horizon Until stars are forced to form constellations Until a beginning of A new morning. But one day, my new mornings Will not consist of The bluest of skies. There may be a hint of pink, a touch of purple, or a sliver of orange. And that's okay. Because weather forecasts were not meant To only be clear blue skies and Colours were not meant to have Only one shade. Blue possesses a fading beauty Now unappealing But never forgotten It is THE last set of my own primary colours - green, red, and yellow. Once I set down this Familiar brush dipped in blue paint, I will start anew with a Fresh set of colours. A clean canvas once again. Today, I am ending Only to begin.

Blue Could Be the Warmest Color But It Isn't
Freckles and tanned I will emerge like Venus from the foam hair all salty and he'll be in awe or he'll be checking out my friends or he'll be checking out other girls or he'll be asleep oblivious to all so seductive in his indifference oh please make his body not be so perfect anymore make him unappealing or me more so at least catch his attention, honestly not over him yet getting closer stupid abs........

I am a writer, a ****** of words. I am a pen that's skipping ink but I still continue to write despite the broken lines because that's what I'm made for in the first place. Maybe the reason why I get hurt so much is that I fall in love with words a lot. I'm in love with people who is in love with literature. These poems and letters may not be made for you or because of you but their main purpose of being written is to move you. I want you to do something about that girl who works in your favorite book shop because I don't want you commiting the same regrets as I did. I want you to raise your voice and write about the oppression or the wage gap. I want you to write about something from the deepest part of your chest. I want you to write about something I cannot write about. But some days, I feel nothing. I could write about being in love and about the color of their eyes but nowadays, their eyes look exactly the same. I could write about sadness but sadness itself is what hinders me to grab a pen. Now, I could write about happiness. But I rarely feel this way and when I feel this way, ******* I feel this way. I could gather these words about being filled with the color yellow but happiness will say that those words are not enough to fathom the euphoria I feel in me. Maybe one day, I could explore enough dictionaries to find the perfect words on what I have to say. You don't have to be the greatest writer there is to make someone feel something through your words. Write about everything, every emotion, and every person who finds their way to your heart. When you can't write anymore, get outside and get your heart broken. Go outside and experience an experience that you never thought you would experience. Soon enough, you will write the words you never thought you would ever write. Don't hold anything other than offensive and oppressive thoughts back. Let the poetry run through your veins and drip down your fingertips. Write, write, and write until you can't write anymore. When you can't write anymore, seek a perhaps to write about then write, write, and write until you can't anymore. Even when the poem is below my satisfaction, I continue to share it anyway because being stoic and still would lead me to madness. I am a writer, a ****** of words. I am a pen that's skipping ink and even though my lines are broken and unappealing, I continue to write anyway and because that is what I am made for in the first place.

its not filthy its just unappealing its just the grooves the places between the melody that desperately need a cleaning the tune no longer resonates the tone dull and crackly its has nothing to do with amplification or projection its the source material that fails me im no good at this at a loss for tools which could make completely clear the soaring voice that is love impassioned and dedicated but they are contained within the outmoded technology wax or vinyl it could be though that my table is just on the fritz

*****
I do not think much my place upon this earth, I am second, and you are first, and when your voice is louder than mine it is a familiar for me to sink and recline into my chair, wilful to listen to your unappealing, witted opinion and programmed flair - from which your talent glistens, and has always been there. Oh to be part of your vision. I walk comfortable in high heeled shoes that inscribe me a waggling soft tongue, and when your pace is faster than mine in brogues, and trousers that are looser, I am simply undone, at your ease to summon as the prime task-caster of more tasks to come. Your achievements are set with a slapped wet plaster. Oh that you share a crumb. And when you laugh, it is a big bellied echo that chimes in my throat to strike and produce, a small bit of fruit, just for you. As I mimic your billow in an octave but lower, that feels like part of the very same tune, but my chuckle is actually a choke, and what I could say would only provoke. Oh you laugh much harder than me. My almond eyes are softer than yours and in the day you lock them only for an answer, to some chore which requires a limited goal - don’t get me wrong – I am no prancer, my shoes are far too tight, and I’ve been taking the toll of your papers, your personal sciv, your faxer. A sniffing, weezling mole. Oh I could dig deeper… You **** much harder than me. And when you *** you look in the mirror at yourself in white unbuttoned shirt, heavy brow, so chipper that when your sun sets it does in a vulvonic decree, but you do not know that when I go home, I secretly scissor in a way that would make your morning clippers shake violently. Oh I love much harder than you, I am better than you, but somehow you are better than me.

Hey friend, Put down the blades This feeling surely fades Put away the pills Watching you live like this kills me inside Don't hang that noose Keep that rope loose Acknowledge your feeling It's not unappealing Look at the people who love you, their faces They know you're going places Not in the ground Let your broken heart be found You are loved and needed Even if no one begged and pleaded You're meant for something Imagine the smiles you could bring If you stay Come with me, friend, I'll show you the way

What on Earth Is this Feeling
I've never thrown a temper tantrum. The thought itself it not unappealing. However, I've never lost control before. The idea of surrendering to an emotion is unfathomable. Because the question is: If I relinquish control, Will I be lost forever

Coffee stains on the newspaper because I was always so messy Illuminating the stories that hit close to home, drawing emotions I had no interest in possessing Lipstick smears on the cheek of a young man because I was always so quick to trust Allowing him access to the depths of my soul surrounding my heart and mind Stinging scrapes up my legs because I was always so clumsy Falling off of my bike countless times, though I should've learned the first time that the turn was too dangerous to master Paper cuts scattered about my hand because I always turned the pages too quickly With full awareness that I'd hurt myself because of the sharp edges, but I couldn't wait to keep reading because I was infatuated with the books and how the stories would end Bleeding lips because I always bit on them when I was anxious Despite the pain and unappealing appearance, my nerves took control so I never learned to kick the dreadful habit And seventeen years of my life Seventeen years of mistakes Seventeen years of trouble And I still haven't learned my lessons because I'll continue to be careless about my shaky hands holding my coffee in the morning And I'll still fall for boys who say all of the right things And I'll keep riding my bike around the sharp curve because I am not afraid of it And I'll keep turning the pages too quickly because the story is worth the paper cuts And I'll keep biting my lip when I'm nervous because it's all I know when everything is overwhelming me And I'll keep making mistake after mistake Because all of these things have become routine to me And I would not know myself If I was more cautious So seventeen years of lessons unlearned leave me fighting to the very end Crashing over every bump on the road

Coffee stains on the newspaper because I was always so messy Illuminating the stories that hit close to home, drawing emotions I had no interest in possessing Lipstick smears on the cheek of a young man because I was always so quick to trust Allowing him access to the depths of my soul surrounding my heart and mind Stinging scrapes up my legs because I was always so clumsy Falling off of my bike countless times, though I should've learned the first time that the turn was too dangerous to master Paper cuts scattered about my hand because I always turned the pages too quickly With full awareness that I'd hurt myself because of the sharp edges, but I couldn't wait to keep reading because I was infatuated with the books and how the stories would end Bleeding lips because I always bit on them when I was anxious Despite the pain and unappealing appearance, my nerves took control so I never learned to kick the dreadful habit And seventeen years of my life Seventeen years of mistakes Seventeen years of trouble And I still haven't learned my lessons because I'll continue to be careless about my shaky hands holding my coffee in the morning And I'll still fall for boys who say all of the right things And I'll keep riding my bike around the sharp curve because I am not afraid of it And I'll keep turning the pages too quickly because the story is worth the paper cuts And I'll keep biting my lip when I'm nervous because it's all I know when everything is overwhelming me And I'll keep making mistake after mistake Because all of these things have become routine to me And I would not know myself If I was more cautious So seventeen years of lessons unlearned leave me fighting to the very end Crashing over every bump on the road

I sat down today and began to type, But nothing I said seemed to come out right. The meter was all wrong, The rhyme scheme was a mess, The words were too simple, The stanzas too plain, So I decided to erase it And start all over again. A few backspaces later, I started anew, And with each keystroke, My frustration grew. My thoughts were garbled And looked clumsy in print; My words were childish And seemed cliche. So I tried one last time To write something that made sense, But instead of eloquent rhymes and articulate thoughts I got ill-expressed musings and awkward phrasings. Instead of a work of beauty and awe, I had created a trite piece of junk. And yet, I found attraction in its ungainly expression And was fascinated by its candor. Nothing was hidden in dreamy language, Or couched in metaphors and vague allusions. I was filled with a strange satisfaction At having created such an unorthodox piece, That evoked in me the simultaneous feelings Of looking on a lovely, unappealing work.

a lovely, unappealing work
No one wants to hear about How you're really feeling Though you may be filled with doubt To them, that's unappealing Hide that part of you away Clench your teeth, just smile Maybe if you fake that you're okay One day it will all be worthwhile

Chin Up, Buttercup
If only a little eye of newt, or mandrake root, or hemlock bark, could turn these loathsome suitors into lovers handsome, tall and dark. They paste their unappealing photos next to profiles trite and silly, and send flirtations cut-and-pasted into the ether willy-nilly. Don’t you know my time you’ve wasted? I have no interest in your wooing. Instead of listing your opinions there are things you should be doing: Learn to listen, read more books, lose 15 lbs and use some manners. Answer emails, learn to cook, travel widely, study language. Say what you mean, do what you say, you’ll find a date without delay. I haven’t found the witches’ brew that will turn boys into men. 'Til then with dating I am through, and bitter missives I will pen.
