"underdogs" poems
**** this civilized **** I am set, like an object. So don't object. My eyes on the prize like my future subjects. All these haters is suspect, I pay them no respect. That's how a King treats his subjects. I blow minds like lare jets-- then take marks and get set. It could be the bad or the ugly, l'm as good as it gets. I'm raising the bar like I'm working my pecs, working hard, baring arms like I'm funk master flex. I'm laughing so hard it's hurting my chest. instead of getting money I'm enjoying my wealth,  weight a couple rounds, then rise up in belts. My Dawgs underdogs, like we training vets. I weigh the pros agasint cons, then Shakakon like I'm K. West. Extend my arm and drop a bomb when this mic turn on. My future brighter than prospects, standing on Prospect while the Sunset waiting to get it on

Freestyle Rap: Flow Crazy
With the start of the first inning as the wind whistled through the tree's Our short stop had his shoulder broke and the fates blew in on the breeze This team was a thorn in the side of the Harding Presidents Club It was on this night my son Tate was scheduled to play as a sub The kid pitching for North Union hurled a cooking heater down field You could hear that freight train coming as it's hide was 'bout to be peeled Their coach then rallied his talent pressing their shoulders to the wheel like natives dancing 'round a fire driving devils who'd struck a deal A death defying mid-air, catch the bounding, ball tossed on the run The Devil was in town this night riding in on the setting sun They dove and slid then nearly flew as if the angels rode their backs While running bases half possessed plowing the field with cleated tracks No one remembered the last time that our team had beaten this bunch That night they took the field in style serving them all up for their lunch , The dice kept coming up seven and oh prophetically so When the sun had finally set the score was seven to zero Come ye father's follow your child through the tough times every one For the oft chance will someday come when they will have finally won Tate © 2012 Tate Morgan Written April 12, 2014 Americans love the underdogs. original http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/aristate/1342622/ Original video poem of the same http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/aristate/1354978/

A Day In The Sun
All day, every day I'm terrified of you. Again and again your fist makes contact with my skin. Broken spirit, heart, will, pride. Be happy because you broke me. Can't you just smell the pride seeping off of you     as you beat me up again. Can anybody see me? Help me? Dead.     I'm dead. **** Everyone looks the other way. Nothing wrong happens in their worlds. Even the teachers. Fear seeps into my bones when I see you in the halls. 'Fuck you!' I scream in my head, but can never get the words    out my mouth. *** you whisper, in a way that cuts deeper than any scream. Go away. Please. Get bored of me. How can someone be this awful? Help me. It was stupid of me to fight back, because I can't breath after you kick me in the stomach. Just make my life a living hell, please    be my guest. Justice is **** Keep an eye on me, in case I start to get    happy again. That could be a problem. Key word: Target. Love is foreign now. Lonely is not. My days are black. Are you happy now? Maybe your life is **** so you have to make    my life the same. Never has someone hated me so much    just for being alive. Nice welcome to high school. "Oh who would ever give a **** about you?" Obviously, no one. Please... Please... People, why can't you see me?! "Queen ***** I call you. "Queen of the rats" you call me. Running, running, running again. Running in vain for you will only get me later. Sometimes I can avoid you, or manage to get away with     only a shove or an insult. Stay and beat me if you want, if it makes you feel better    because I am giving up for now. "Tomorrow, today won't seem so long" I tell myself. Tell me help is coming. Underdogs always win in the end right? Under your power is not where I thought I would be. Vacant are my eyes, for you have driven my soul away. Vandalized locker, I know it was you. When will I be safe? What did I ever do to you? Xanax would be perfect to OD on. You're a monster… But you have all the power. Zero Bullying Tolerance, that's    ********

Slimy sea feet. Sandy salt tongues. Gabby gulls and cautious ***** Boardwalk smiles and sticky ice cream fingers. Ripened hearts and eager tide eyes. Tears in my ears from the satisfied sun seeking silence. This is where I belong. This is where I know God. I don’t belong in a town that can offer me nothing. I don’t belong in a massive city that’ll swallow me up. I don’t belong at silly soirees or late night parties. I don’t belong at the top tier or down with the underdogs. I belong on the shores. I belong arm in arm with my confidantes, walking through downtown streets of some sweet town. I belong hand in hand with my true companion with our toes in the sand. I belong sipping soda with my sisters giggling endlessly as we watch some cheesy chick flick. I belong hugging my mama who I will never stop loving for an instant. I belong sitting with my father drinking tea in the purest, sweetest silence, for that is how we were made to be. I belong listening to my dad’s tall tales and my mothers soothing words. I belong holding my stomach with my face streaked with tear drops from some joke that is only funny if you were there. I belong forever in the future with that one, the one whom was made for me; the Tilney to my Catherine. I belong holding the gazes of my friends as we try to hold back our cackles, tears, and even our own words. I belong in the waves of the sea. I only belong in the happiest of salty tears. I can’t belong where I’m too afraid to face my fears. I won’t belong in broken gears. I’ll not for a moment belong in heartbroken wares.   I’ve never belonged in them, but they live inside me. They have and always will be My demons and my skeletons Yet you will always see them on my sleeves So everyone can see they do not devour me.

She leaves a trail of broken heart in her wake. Like the River Styx, but very much alive. On the outside, one would look at her and say she's a faerie nymph flighty, giddy and naive. She treats boys like playthings- they would say, draw them to her and spit them out her pixie pranks bereft of benevolence. They are Theseus and Leucippus heroes victimized by false love they say, the underdogs. She is to blame. On the inside, however, it's a different story. They fixate on her, fall in love without consulting her first. To them, consent is an idea and an abstract any-thing. Something to be taken lightly or disregarded You see, consent is more than a verbal yes and consent is more than ****** thing. Consent is communicating your intent before acting on it and getting permission. So it should be the same with falling in love. No one owes anyone anything. Best friend, dark loner type, new boy/girl in your life, consider this before you vilify someone for what they don't feel.

A statement on the ******** surrounding unrequited love
Start from the beginning.Feels like it was yesterday. The best of my friends stay, the rest of em' fade away. Now there's nothing but green lights. The reason we stand in place, so time doesn't miss me. I move at a faster pace. Don't care what they say. They'll never change us. Underdogs. We live for today and no one can blame us. Underdogs). 'Cause when you're the underdog. They never get down. All they do is stop and stare, under the surface. We got a purpose. We are the Underdogs. When you fall down, get up, then you'll be right back,on track. What is perception? Its just a reflection of who I am. At school you were so cool. Now you're just a grown fool. These kids can be so cruel. Don't care what they say. They'll never change us. Underdogs.We live for today and no one can blame us. Underdogs. 'Cause when you're the underdog. They never get down, all they do is stop and stare, under the surface. We got a purpose. We are the Underdogs. No I can't look down. Underdog. If I could do it again. Underdog.I wouldn't change a thing. Underdog. I'm living out my dreams and I'm so close. I came too far to turn back now. The world's at my feet.I know my destiny.

often I feel like a girl sometimes beautiful, always insecure listening, talking, crying forced to write this kind of thing often I feel like a boy for if I was smart, you call me nerd for if I can throw your books in the dump, you call me cool trying so hard to be strong, to be accepted often I feel like a girl pretty in pink, you’d say you’d ‘tap that’ but then have you really been inside a real girl often I feel like a boy whose voice you've never heard only the shrieks when you lock me on the locker room I never ******* asked, to enter in this asylum often I feel like a bird trapped in this four walls obligated, machined, regulated to which they say the best four years of our lives

Stereotypical High School / / Underdogs
[Hook: Ester Dean] Voices in the air I hear them loud and clear Telling me to listen Whispers in my ear Nothing can compare I just wanna listen [Verse 1: MGK] As my, world turns The heart beats Not only in my chest But the heart in these streets So when they feel this, they feel me But I can't feel nothin', outside these dre beats I am from the city of evil, came from the bottom Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, whats up? Inception shows me as a dead man walkin', but reflections shows this kid's still got it Let it be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king Never grew up around a family because I'm not a human being And anyone under my level that’s coming at my spot for the top Let them have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops Lace up Kells [Hook] I hear voices in the air I hear em’ loud and clear Telling me to listen Whispers in my ear Nothing can compare I just want to listen Telling me I am Invincible (3x) - oh oh Telling me I am Invincible (3x) - oh oh I am [Verse 2] Waking up sweatin from the stress of being caged down Everything I write is played out like what is this ? Tear the whole page out Man I come from holes in the wall but they don’t know the path Even if I told them it all, they wouldn't know the half So maybe I fill up my luggage with all of these dreams and put on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans And just run, till the day comes like Rocky’s movie scene And I’m on top of the world, look up and scream like this is me, this is Kells Crucified by the public without the nails Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed Lost myself in the game when I found myself in a cell Then I found myself in the fame when I lost myself in the pills And you cannot mess with me still , seen them boys and they winnin Underdogs of the year Cleveland boys in the buildin' What the **** is a ceiling I’m taking this to the top, and when I leave the whole world drops Lace Up Kells [Hook] I hear voices in the air I hear em’ loud and clear Telling me to listen Whispers in my ear nothing can compare I just want to listen Telling me I am Invincible (3x) - oh oh Telling me I am Invincible (3x) - oh oh I am…..

Have you ever noticed all the superheroes in your school? That kid who's strong enough to lift things and throw them at the other kid who's strong enough to actually take it. Those popular girls, the cheerleaders who always find the positive in everything and have super cool elastic flexibility! And those super cool independent chicks with their headphones in, hoods up, shutting out the rest of the world. Oh and of course those 'Clark Kent's who are so intellectual leaving you puzzled and curious every time. Those are the best kind of heroes because they're the underdogs. You wouldn't think any of these guys would ever be capable of being your Superman at Prom. But you take away the glasses and then you'll really feel dumb. There's all those cool superheroes hanging in the canteen, spreading around like a bad cough in the playground and then.. and then there's me. Hi there. I have the tendency to fade into the shadows of the ground, My weakness is focal point. The spotlight would burn against my sensitive skin like how a sunrise would burn the skin of a vampire. The attention of a million little lights would be the cause of my own fire. And if you look into my eyes.. If I let you, You'll see my life flash right before yours, you'll suddenly feel scared to know me.. but you'll care enough to try. I guess you could call me Invisi-Girl! 'Cause I don't even wear a cloak, nope, I don't even need a cloak, to be seen as the most invisible girl in the world.

Torn By “Love”
Love is this... ....... ............ ,,,,, catkin feet rotating the underdressed night under a casino wheel of stars ..........or else a Tempest of Soul loud as a fishmonger ...............99p cola bottles & lonesome underdogs .............that time you laughed on helium ... 'fuck me' neon signs in the street ...................sweet onion breath delirium .................Millais's Ophelia all wasted & peeling from suburban billboards. ......................the time Virginia Woolf drowned & all the birds forgot how to sing in Greek. ..............are we there yet ..............are we feeling the beat, beat, beat ..............of this raindrop .........................do we need postage stamps. ................................why is your neighbor called Pete. .........why did you kick a dog, Mamma. ............nothing is that which is understood ............why are you staring at this poem.

Love is this
You With the underdog smile And the quirky attitude I took a shining to you You've been beaten You've been bruised And I took a shining to you We were two underdogs A team But you You can't reciprocate You can't see past your affliction You dig until the ground falls from beneath you And I can't fill in the holes Not fast enough No matter what I do It doesn't mean a thing to you And you don't see the way it eats at me You can't see that I'm defeated Because you're far too busy Digging your holes Gotta have all eyes on you Because everything is you You want them all to know your name You want to be their sun And you beg And you lie And you cheat Dig your holes Bury your knives You bury your knives in me And I've had enough I'm done

Done
i remember meeting you in the back of house, where your words were loose and wild. i was brining some guests plates in that needed to be cleaned after their meal. i got to talking with some coworker about some bull **** coworkers talk about, probably complaining about some old lady who wanted truffle fries and only got regular fries. you had to chime in when there was a cadence with some ********** comment to display your manliness and status amongst your kitchen staff. that game always seemed counterproductive to me. you pinned me for someone i wasn't. i did the same to you. somehow along the way, between all your lewd remarks, we became friends. i believe it began over our affinity for the Buffalo Bills. You said you liked them because they were the underdogs and you hated the Miami Dolphins. I told you they were my hometown team and you said "no **** get the **** outa here. You're from Buffalo?" the way you said it lead me to assume you were from New York. You told me you were from upstate and missed it. I told you how much time my family spent up there in the summers, doing outdoorsy things. burning fires, drinking beer underage, walking barefoot through the forrest. we bonded. we learned a lot more about each other. you were divorced and knew that you could never love another woman as much as you loved your ex. she gave you two beautiful kids. she also took 3/4 of you paycheck and left you for broke. the rest you drank away with me when our shifts were over. you told me about your drug habits, and i told you about mine. i told you about my childhood and you said you were sorry. i helped you drive your kids to school when your ex wife was too busy. we got drunk and shot so much **** there was a chip on your shoulder. there was a chip on mine too. i got to see you cry when i accused you of using again. i think you knew what i said was true. i came down on you hard because i had just lost two jobs, a girlfriend i thought would have my children, and someone that lived in your apartment complex crashed into my brand new car while i was waiting on you. we were on the way to get your kids from school. you knew i meant well but i could see the guilt in your eyes. i helped you with your kids a handful of times after that. we would get breakfast after and talk about work and women. after work we'd get ****** and eat at some small Mexican stand in 90 degree weather. i fell asleep at the wheel and totaled my car some time later. shortly after i left for tour and then you died. some secrets you take to the grave. thank you.

truffle fries
i remember meeting you in the back of house, where your words were loose and wild. i was brining some guests plates in that needed to be cleaned after their meal. i got to talking with some coworker about some bull **** coworkers talk about, probably complaining about some old lady who wanted truffle fries and only got regular fries. you had to chime in when there was a cadence with some ********** comment to display your manliness and status amongst your kitchen staff. that game always seemed counterproductive to me. you pinned me for someone i wasn't. i did the same to you. somehow along the way, between all your lewd remarks, we became friends. i believe it began over our affinity for the Buffalo Bills. You said you liked them because they were the underdogs and you hated the Miami Dolphins. I told you they were my hometown team and you said "no **** get the **** outa here. You're from Buffalo?" the way you said it lead me to assume you were from New York. You told me you were from upstate and missed it.

Hello This is my doing I guess you want me to answer for it I will if I feel like it Some say we all have the same sense of aimlessness And we're preyed on by the leech behind the curtain But I think we've gotten passed that That could be my inner mantra mixed with ***** talking though Turning my back to the confusion only to find that meaning has already found me I look at the leaders, they only can make educated guesses And we'll all know if they did the right thing years from now I've never put my name in the hat for consideration But I know I'll still get called when my turn comes They can touch me and I can't deny what I've said or done But they'll never lay a hand on the ideals and truths that are in each of us I'm beyond grateful for knowing this I may become old I may become ill I may starve and die but my creations will go on for eternity Moments of pleasure Moments of purity I won't name names or cast stones I won't chase paper or fall to my knees for guaranteed safety That's why I'm here, legs crossed and mind silent Spirit centered and flowing free My adoration for the underdogs and stray cats My respect for honesty and curiosity for experimentation Have taught me invaluable lessons Just give me a shot, I know I can make a difference I can see both sides of the fence I can see between the lines of supply and demand I can see the blinks between life and death There aren't many of us but there are more than before Hopeful Pushing for unity and looking for our face, our voice We have our suspicions But more than that we have love

Shout out to the outcasts Your individuality will outlast Shout out to the mediocre ones You have talent but you don't feel good enough Stay with it love, develop your craft and grow into the best Here's to the underdogs, The ones who feel they don't belong, And for so long have been hiding away and starting to decay, Don't settle for the nutshell and say it's just as well, Rise higher than the tree wild and free, They don't know who you really are don't let them take it too far,

Shout out
Are you okay, Your breathing hard, Maybe it's finally all sunk in, Maybe you're losing your mind, It's been a hard few months, But I swear to you, me and you will be fine, That's just what we do, When you don't have a choice, you just live, You do what you have to do, All you do is fight through, That's what we know, Don't be ashamed of that, We're always the underdogs, But even the underdogs hit it big sometimes.

Underdogs
As the endless and tireless yammerings of life surround me My mind can curl up into a little ball Even though I didn’t really need it to Sometimes I think my mind has a mind of its own It only asks for forgiveness Never quite for permission Sometimes my mind seems like it’s searching Like an animal hunting its prey Yet it always seems in the end To be chasing its own tail Like a careless curious dog Just content to have something to do Sometimes my mind likes to take a seat and watch the madness unfold And place bets on the most likely winner for the day I think it secretly likes to bet on the underdogs I’d like to think that most of these things are broken and need fixing But my mind knows better My mind will think and do what I please

If you have ever felt  like you're  ready to just give up. Cause the game you're playing in is full of cheaters. Full of liars. Full of false hopes. &You; know you're never going to make it out alone. Welcome to the Love Cult. We're underdogs too.

Da Game.
In the morning, I awoke                                to the smell of burning rubber--the bats in paradox with their champagne necks broken,                                                                      telling stories from atop                                 the blisters on the celestial skin. A sublime masochism with irises that devour events, and ribs of sunshine, and this was the gong of the eleventh hour somewhere after four a.m. when the mockingbirds lie bodies in strange angles,                                                          under tracks and atop cars. Garage underdogs howl at the fog after self-inflicted shotgun wounds lying in the corner of the greats things lost and the worst things gained                 the bleach corrodes the bombarded sidewalk that you almost hear smoldering, whimpering on the empathetic verge                                                                                                    of the ocean                   where mini-stars explode, civilization ribbons coat the throats                                          of you pedestrians, humanitarians         all dressed and gifted                                          to the ****** of equivalence,'             and I am tooth drunk                          on the placebo slide, carnations washed beneath the broom                                   clinging to morsels that ***** blue sky down on the trumpeters. On the fall of the eleventh hour---Carpe Diem crushed by sweaty palms into ***** work and screaming dance parties. How low? He, they, it, I, she throw lives away like ships slicing through the ocean, the same reckless, but disciplined authority.

My friends a pizza cowboy My uncles a interpreter For the grainery My cousin lives inside Dry mouths and my mother Makes fake smiles my other cousin sticks his pruned up Hands in rivers of unwanted pasta My father makes sure Boats do not go gently Against the stolen tides. I think of the underdogs Whenever were all together We sit on the same green couches Durring the holidays. The same ones that tell us No matter what happens Were going to be ok.  We sink And recline in the coushins And forget about Nine to five for a few honest hours.   While we drink and eat and lauph Underneath the same old popcorn celings. The same living room Where every thing happening now never went unoticed because Ireland found England after The bombs after the soccer game Where she said (after the game) "I want nothing to do with that ******* Are you sure about that grandma. Better stay away from uncle george (the keeper) He wants you to meet his friend (the forward) Who played for the Blackburn rovers.

family background
Sometimes I think about. High buildings, moving cars or bridges with beautiful scenery. I have this saviour complex, an rubix cube lover.   Destructive distractions are a pass time, I have an infatuation with underdogs. Blowing bubbles, I like to swim against them.   Purgatory is my sanctuary. Pain is paradise, numb to most. Inflicting paper cuts for fun.   The caring nature of a broken soul, is a laughable misery.
