"uncool" poems
Dissing amazing poets prose and angst they posting on net site for peotry makes you look like you queen and king of petty and uncool. Got a grade school nephew he is age four and he speaks without thinking. We know why little kiddies speak out and can't control nasty actions. Why grown *** people sit on net dissing poet's poems. Me thinks it's like having a nasty out of control mind like kiddies like when those kiddies diss poets poems and actions are nasty. Repeating for you what those who are wise know and with no dissing. If you do not enter the tiger's cave, you will not catch its cub. American meaning be  like nothing ventured, nothing gained. Posting whatever the hell poems is good and no such thing as a bad poem. on poetry site this be no write poem, no poems under name.

Dissing of poet's poetry
The chatter makes me think, think Think, think of the brink, Of extinction, Of my pain, And our scars, The world is pressing too far, Hurting, Discovering, Totally uncovering, The weaknesses of people who can't take care of themselves. Those people who are crying out for help. The kid hit by his momma, The girl depressed from drama, The kid starving in Africa, The teen trafficked from Albania. This world is cruel, Totally uncool. People think it's minuscule, These real problems that people face, Every god ****** ******* day. White privilege is a real thing, And sexism is an issue, Homosexuality is not a miscue, And the only person who can make change, Is You

Bitter Talks
Jealously's a you-know-what I hate her with a passionate rage My heart barely harbors this feeling But every emotion has a stage Jealousy should go away now No one loves her, she's uncool She just makes me look bad I let her use me like a tool Jealousy is the ugliest of all She lurks in my mind until I break Her clammy hands suffocate my heart I end up giving what she wants to take Jealousy lives everywhere She's a million places at a time Toss her in the fire, my dear Just wait, and out she'll climb Jealousy is the only one I truly hate She's ruined perfectly good days Get lost, you stupid imposter! You're always misleading our ways! Jealousy reeks of insecurity Hungry and scared like a forgotten pet But Jealousy doesn't play nicely She just builds and builds regret Jealousy is always hiding You never know where she might be Keep an eye on your heart and mind She's always looking for another lost key.

Jealousy
You’re my number one You’re my one and only Yes, the only one I want home waiting for me I can’t tell what’ll happen If our feelings change In one way or the other Id love you just the same Ill spend my very last dime For now, its all for you And if it reaches forever Well, who knew I'd fall so deep in love I can’t get you off my mind You’re my first priority Any day, any time We’re halfway there We’ve made a mark It’s been 6 months You still feel that spark? Coz it’s been 26 weeks, Around 182 days, That’s roughly around 4, 368 hours And countless number of ways That you’ve given me happiness With your every kiss and hug, It’s like the fourth of July in me I’ve got a bad case of the love bug So yes, you make me gay With you, I’m ecstatic You already know I’m so uncool And such a hopeless romantic So let’s just keep going I’d like to know you more I’ll study your very being And still love you till your very core So I’m sorry, babe If I ask for forever I know it’s all uncertain But never say never Happy 6th month And thank you for teaching me To stay strong And wear my heart on my sleeve

Would you let me walk you back to school? And maybe later, teach me how to play pool?.. Oh maybe Friday if you're free, Play dinosaur mini golf with me? I know I'm uncool.. But I like who I am when i'm with you Wont you tell your bro to add me back Tell him I play guitar too but mostly when I'm sad.. Rock and roll is pretty cool, And Hip Hop was better when it was old school.. But I write acoustic tunes... Oh you know I do. Did you ever get the message that I never sent? You always said you could read me, Well did you figure I was upset When you didn't answer the phone All these days I've felt alone Just a little hollow and not okay.. But i'd still be here tomorrow, Despite yesterday. Oh I'd still love you tomorrow, Even if my heart breaks apart today.

the zombie has opinions about nutrition but lives off of tasty urban debris the zombie is standing on the beach whipped by grey watching the waves roll in high the zombie is on the computer again-- where nobody knows he's a zombie the zombie seems to be listening but is looking at his phone the zombie is not a joiner, so don't be uncool and ask though he might join and then drop out, which just proves joining was pointless in the first place oh definitely the zombie likes to go down the zombie bites the hand that feeds him the zombie does not mind poison if it means saving money the zombie is against bad things. the zombie is not a sheep. the zombie is dying of loneliness but can't ever seem to connect. the zombie is spreading deserts and drowning deltas. the zombie is standing up for what's right, on facebook. the zombie knows that *** is safer than alcohol and it makes him safer the zombie feels guilty sometimes but ultimately not personally responsible. the zombie is tired--not enough sleep, not enough brains. the zombie doesn't need you, he just wants you, when he sees you. ahem: the zombie wants you for your mind. the zombie is free. the zombie embodies Csikszentmihalyi's state of "Flow." the zombie may have made you one of his kind, you will never know because zombies don't know they're zombies.

Cancer sticks. Burning lungs. Smelly breath. Yellow teeth. Hanging out of a mouth like a silly clown prop. Take a drag Tar smothering the lungs limiting their functionality. Cool look when you're 12! Hell at 42 when the lungs no longer function and your body is poisoned by the uncool part of a *** you can't see!

When I was in elementary school I never understood why no one else would shake with fear I would feel a hug of cold air around my body I'd ask if anyone else felt it and when no one did I thought I was insane Then I'd start to shake and lose control of my hands You're such a freak I'd hear as I slowly lost control My mind would go blank and suddenly I thought I'd be sick I ran to the nurse where she called me a drama queen My teacher ran in after and pulled me back to class I didn't know why I was only half of what others were In middle school, I learned not to mention these feelings Everyday before school I would be reminded don't tell anyone how you feel When those cold hugs started to envelop my starved frame I'd spit fire at everyone Instead of caring about what others said I'd immediately shoot a smart reply When my teacher asked me why I was so rude I asked why she cared when no one else did I wanted to be like the girls who came to school skipping and laughing I wanted to be whole In junior high, I locked myself in bathrooms I'd have to be drugged until I couldn't feel anything so I'd go to school When I felt numb I started to miss feelings so I slowly dug silver into my wrists and slowly stopped putting food into my body I learned that the only thing that would make me feel whole was people liking me, so I made a self improvement list I stopped swearing, I said I loved pink, I said I wanted designer dresses, I said I wasn't myself Even then I was never whole, I craved love I craved the warm embrace of others replacing the cold hugs of anxiety I craved love, I wanted to be someone to love me In 8th grade I realized those improvements didn't make those cold hugs go away I decided that maybe if my heart stopped beating everything would be better When my heart fought my attempts to silence it I decided that maybe I deserved those cold hugs Now in high school, I realize that I was not being me I attempt to embrace those cold hugs back I start to slowly do what society tells me is uncool But I will never be able to feel whole until I learn that hugs and I love yous may make the anxiety go away for a little while, I have to learn to love myself cold hugs and all in order to truly be whole

Lovely Bones
I'm only lukewarm, marginally mediocre. Not quite laid-back enough to be considered cool Nor adequately exciting for red hot. Just going by, average, as a rule. I'm much too old to be reckless and immature, Yet not as old as wisdom and a good war story. Not so rich to live out luxurious abandon but far too rich to be tragically sorry. I'm unremarkable, uneventful, uninteresting, Uncool and unattractive, unfit and unaware. I assume I'm just not- I'm everything 'un' already, A stale glass of water, gone oddly warm in stagnant air I am lukewarm, at best. Perhaps some day I'll be blast frozen Or I had once been boiled hot. For now though, there are no cubes of ice That I can swallow and be more than not. I am the everyday masses, lost in the throng, The not-particularly-bright, non-slacker, no-name brands That believe they're not good enough- or quite the sharpest prong. We, the herd lost in the middle bench lands- We're wild and we're sober, Frightened and unafraid. We're nothing like you, but we're just the same. But we, the ones who spend our lives In the middle bench,                                                            will be alright.            We can persevere, we can.

My lips are still blisterin, From all that whisperin, that Made me kinda sick, so I Search for my chapstick, but Find in it’s stead, A pen, orn’ry and red, That chooses to be used, And true to my cue, I Seclude and intrude On each and every muse- -ic, -ing, -ment, of my peers. And its clear I have seared Every page I have seen And heard of my herd, Pulled apart at the seems Teeming with teams And half-assessed dreams, that I dreamt But have since beheaded like queens. Yet who is the jester? The joker? The fool? It’s me from your world, your country, your school. It’s me who coos uncool, and caws too rawly And so rarely, Even I’m a bit scared of me No! No fear or fervor is necessary, tremors and Heartstrings tremble headlines on the Daily. Oooh, calm, soothe, my tongue, my soul, my lips, I’ll cool them off but remember all this, or else you May be blistering, and searching, for my lost chapstick, But be lacking in trust, ‘cause I used it all up, Quite a long time before you even lusted that luck.

The Ballad of Gracie Chapstick
Totally like whatever, you know? by Taylor Mali In case you hadn’t noticed, it has somehow become uncool to sound like you know what you’re talking about? Or believe strongly in what you’re saying? Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know?)’s have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences? Even when those sentences aren’t, like, questions? You know? Declarative sentences—so-­‐called because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not— have been infected by a totally hip and tragically cool interrogative tone? You know? Like, don’t think I’m uncool just because I’ve noticed this; this is just like the word on the street, you know? It’s like what I’ve heard? I have nothing personally invested in my own opinions, okay? I’m just inviting you to join me in my uncertainty? What has happened to our conviction? Where are the limbs out on which we once walked? Have they been, like, chopped down with the rest of the rain forest? Or do we have, like, nothing to say? Has society become so, like, totally . . . I mean absolutely . . . You know? That we’ve just gotten to the point where it’s just, like . . . whatever! And so actually our disarticulation . . . ness is just a clever sort of . . . thing to disguise the fact that we’ve become the most aggressively inarticulate generation to come along since . . . you know, a long, long time ago! I entreat you, I implore you, I exhort you, I challenge you: To speak with conviction. To say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks the determination with which you believe it. Because contrary to the wisdom of the bumper sticker, it is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY. You have to speak with it, too.

The Fool The grass bows in respect as he passes, A fool so very unruly, Spits vengeful passion, Sets the bowing grass on fire, Destroying nature with his smile, Raucous, Lashing feelings, Eyelashes flutter in mortified shame, Curling of their own accord, In harmony of discord! Disputed by speech in truth! Love songs live , Castigated fool, This lyricist, Chastised for lack of care, Beaten down, Darkened magic mind, Riling by inspiring, Cauldron bubbles, Images evaporate, Eternal gossamer magic, This fool's a clever fool! He is such unruly fool, Will never admit it, Uncool fool, Will stand in attendance, To whims and things, Main retorts in nonchalance! Founded in chalice, Full, This fool, Well, He's no village idiot!

A price that’s in the men shoes He’s unclaimed and well schooled Act his rhymes n’ mimic his friend too Make him understand our sweeter shoo Blend to been online with his touchy tools Then play him around n' bring him to us too Wherein he'll crave more for our added duties A pleasure to bend n' subdue his struggling pities And so you try to get me for all the monies n' fame Hoping that my heart do cringe to the gains and aims For in most man’s heart lies some greed n' impurities But that testimony was short-sighted n’ less accurate Dunamis and poverty - a borrower, the lender's slave An experience to fail my rapture; a shameful swing Which my hands cannot say – an immoral beauty Whom my lips can not welcome; the school The teacher - the minister A princess n’ a bling A frog as a king He’s handsome By gender She's beautiful in slander A prince An offender A princess The slanderer The princess and a king A soldier n’ a fling - a queen who’s ashamed The offer that topped the shelf of supreme That's us, both upside down and unclaimed A soldier n’ a queen - a coward, a shame The prince and a fling A miss A glamor A mister An amour Unashamed With clamor Unmoved By hammers A miss in a glamour A mister in an amour The minister and a king The majestic of single shoes Who's keen to sense a moral beauty Who sees the world as an interesting chaff Dominate n' commoners; a sense of duty that All must claimed from their individual combat For in most men heart, here lies love n’ cruelty To flamed the hearts n’ dance to pains n’ strife So I sought to seize the life of  love and Faith To pursuit a walk of dreams n’ less blemish Where little is important than odd duties Like turn me around and teach me you Teach me to see another man’s shoot Make me enjoy that creepiness too Shade my mind and my drink too Cause I’m unclaimed n’ uncool A vice that's in a male shoes

Upside Down & Unclaimed
A price that’s in the men shoes He’s unclaimed and well schooled Act his rhymes n’ mimic his friend too Make him understand our sweeter shoo Blend to been online with his touchy tools Then play him around n' bring him to us too Wherein he'll crave more for our added duties A pleasure to bend n' subdue his struggling pities And so you try to get me for all the monies n' fame Hoping that my heart do cringe to the gains and aims For in most man’s heart lies some greed n' impurities But that testimony was short-sighted n’ less accurate Dunamis and poverty - a borrower, the lender's slave An experience to fail my rapture; a shameful swing Which my hands cannot say – an immoral beauty Whom my lips can not welcome; the school The teacher - the minister A princess n’ a bling A frog as a king He’s handsome By gender She's beautiful in slander A prince An offender A princess The slanderer The princess and a king A soldier n’ a fling - a queen who’s ashamed The offer that topped the shelf of supreme That's us, both upside down and unclaimed A soldier n’ a queen - a coward, a shame The prince and a fling A miss A glamor A mister An amour Unashamed With clamor Unmoved By hammers A miss in a glamour A mister in an amour The minister and a king The majestic of single shoes Who's keen to sense a moral beauty Who sees the world as an interesting chaff Dominate n' commoners; a sense of duty that All must claimed from their individual combat For in most men heart, here lies love n’ cruelty To flamed the hearts n’ dance to pains n’ strife So I sought to seize the life of  love and Faith To pursuit a walk of dreams n’ less blemish Where little is important than odd duties Like turn me around and teach me you Teach me to see another man’s shoot Make me enjoy that creepiness too Shade my mind and my drink too Cause I’m unclaimed n’ uncool A vice that's in a male shoes

Sometimes I would walk through the halls, feeling nothing but anxiety. My mind would become flooded: What should I be doing… what should I be saying... what is everyone thinking? See- I used to float to the back of the room to the back of my mind where I escaped the world by reading. Nerdy. A loser. A freak. I was too intelligent for my age. It wasn’t COOL to get straight A’s. Then I advanced to the seventh grade, with no idea my life was about to change. I made a friend. Then Two. Then Three. A former unknown concept: “popularity”. Skater shoes, with laces you didn’t tie, pink backpacks, hair straight as a pin- Abercrombie- led me to a moment I still hate today: “Try some of this”. It wasn’t COOL if you said no. It was my first taste of intoxication, my first taste of escape- escape of my mind, the thoughts, The anxiety. The more I sipped, the more I let go. The drinks would become stronger, we raged every other night. Tolerances were creeping up high, control started waving goodbye to my mind. It wasn’t COOL to be sober. We laughed, we kid- called ourselves “alcoholics”. If only then I knew more, and the future I would soon endure because of the potion we poured and poured. It wasn’t COOL to be a lightweight. Some years later I bragged and I boasted, over the amount of liquor I could intake. “The only girl who could outdrink the boys”- the girl, I’d someday unrelated. She’d fallen for everything society had wanted to create. “Popularity”. Then came the day I knew would eventually arrive- the day of realization and what it meant to be alive. I no longer wanted to be COOL. Because with each drink, the value of life was swallowed- I never have felt quite that hollow. As if all the knowledge that once filled my mind vanished. I yearned for nothing but to go back to the days, when I was uncool and got straight A’s.

Straight A's

I hate myself. I hate my life. I hate that i'm not pretty. I hate that i'm uncool. I hate the fact that they only like me because "I make them laugh" I hate that they only glorify perfect figures and pretty face Not intelligence nor virtue I hate that nobody really cares. Help me.

Few Of The Things I Hate
When did feminism become a taboo? When did equality become uncool Men not superior to females Us not superior to them too. When did I become the taboo? When did this become uncool. So I wish we are all square and blue true, it'd make dating difficult but what'd you do, you'd talk to people true *** would be awkward too angles too many rights won't create create the sweetest wrong but at least we'd break the taboo No colour No gender No looks apart from the individuals descriptions Believe: I am female I am male without doing a cursory glance up and down believe: I am intelligent I am creative without checking my pigment or my **** because I am done with it I am tired non-acceptance Snap decisions Stubborn judgements it's nothing personal No, you made it personal You stole a personality Smeared it Said it was wrong Said I didn't belong. So I wish we were square and blue No stereotypes No stigmas No *** cos maybe we don't deserve it yet. If all we see are pigment genitals and stereotypes.

When did I become the stigma?
God help us, Imamu—stop playing the fool as you babble unhinged in your kente hat. Bebopping Mao is so very uncool; what up wit dat ? Flirtations with Castro (Fidel to the faithful) and free Cuba Libres imbibed with the Beats inflamed discontent when your verses turned wrathful in the streets. Predictable tirades where Whitey’s the foe, attacking your hosts like an Afro/eccentric gets old. It’s a stagnant unmusical show: dull dialectic. Who knows why the liberals that bankroll you love it? Who cares what your most recent pseudonym is? You old and you mad cause’ you can’t rise above it, mired in the shizz. Your lines are pure mannitol: dumbed-down ******* (The blow on the head by that riot-cop lingers!) The syntax is whack in your ghetto refrain. Snap fingers . . . Still you wait for your war—or the Black Star-Liner . . . Your rage was your royalty, paid in white money. Your verse sought to give the right wing a dark shiner— it’s not funny. Insulting, belittling others more noble; your legacy leaves nothing hopeful or witty Just putrid black waters, the flow uncontrollable under the city. Inside of your Kabaa are yet many idols. Your New Ark of verse did not save from the flood. You mau-mau and bludgeon with words all your rivals but draw no blood. Lighten up, wise Imamu. Your age is soon closing. You wrote for the stage and said some of it well. But your verse has gone rotten and yields, decomposing, a nasty smell.

Lines for LeRoi Jones (the Imamu)
You were my brother.   My first best friend I could trust. She told my secrets, I couldn't trust her. I could trust you, have fun with you, be smart and nerdy with you. I loved you. I told you how I felt. You told me how you felt. Miscommunication and a bird talking in my ear ruined us I lashed out at you, you apologized. Why didn't I realize? Yes, you are my best friend.  I'm sorry.  Don't leave now. You didn't leave. High School You barely speak to me. I am now uncool. You are above me. You mock me to your friends behind my back. I convince myself that you would never.... I loved you.... you wouldn't.... would you? Senior Year Your best friend mocks me cyberbullies me nearly kills me by my own self-inflicting hand. But what is this? You could have stopped him But I wasn't worth your pride. You couldn't tell him no. So I nearly gave up my life Out of self loathing. You were my brother. I loved you.   You wanted to love me. Why did you do this. **** you Benson.  I have no brother.  And no love for you.
