"unfavorable" poems
The fault of our reality is not written in our stars And it will not dance across unfavorable constellations, Or dissolve into inconsolable fragments. The fault, my love, is not written in our stars. It is written in ourselves. But how fortunate would it be? To cast the providence of our unlucky affairs Into the gloomy twilight, Where the sky is so unilluminated That we could close our restful eyes And fathom a world where it does not exist? But the fault, my love, is not written in our stars. It is written in ourselves. We are heavily folded sheets of stationary: A collection of utterances Bound into melancholy novels By our mangled hearts, And though spoken words Still fall onto my turning pages As tears do fall from my reddened cheeks, I have yet to forget The chapter you have left unwritten, Because an unwritten chapter is one to be adorned: It cannot end For it does not exist. And so we fumble through an amorous affliction, Fabricated into a bittersweet infinity. And at midnight, When my restless fingers ***** the empty air for you, And the reality of our desolate fault Seeps into my hands, I wish you were here. But the fault, my love, is not written in our stars. It is written in ourselves. j.s.

The Fault in Our Stars
"bleed·ing heart" a person considered to be dangerously softhearted feeling sorry for everything and everyone and giving in to emotions quickly. “My heart bled today.” Nothing new, same old routine, same old unremarkable usual thing. They say over and over, Repetition is key. The key for what, I may never know. Things often moving quickly halt and take on the slow. The same people, the same faces, the same air, the same places. I’m a person with a bleeding heart. It’s dangerous to lead a life like mine, Sadly you can’t escape the family bloodline. Constantly stuck in a place between the planes. I can’t help what’s running wild, pumping through my veins. No rest for me. The others are already gone. My logic quickly left along with the dawn. My bleeding heart might just be the death of me. I would show you I am hurting but we can’t seem to agree I am all alone surrounded by nothing but my own suffocating thoughts. I can’t breathe and continue to find myself at a loss. A new beginning. The strong will live, the weak will die. It’s tattooed into the minds of the people in the city as a nearby excuse for people like me. Yes, there are others, but they are far out of reach, conveniently unavailable. The rest of us have been wiped out and deemed unfavorable. What am I? Just an unnoticed vessel of the human soul and all of it’s dangerously soft-hearted mannerisms. I have a bleeding heart. I do not deny. Left alone for the beasts to tear apart. But I cannot help but look to the sky. I despise my nature, my being even, Curse my benignant soul, And my lack of self control What’s left for me in this cruel world? Run by unintellectual imbeciles running off their own flawed reasoning A divergent past, lies in ruins which was once filled with memories and happy experiences, I was once just a kid lost in her own place, drowning and begging for help but no one came. Perhaps, I’m not as much of a person with a bleeding heart as I possibly could be. Perhaps, the legacy I leave behind will be nothing but a life of running away. Perhaps my bleeding heart only bleeds in contrast to the reality around me. “Because it is mine, it will always bleed”. I am stuck in this life of heartache and unwelcome spilled blood, but it will be alright. Because I won’t give up, not until I succeed. I will make it one day, even if there is no destination, I’ll go just to see the sights. Bleeding heart and all, I will fight the war, not backing down, but disappearing at midnight.

How we are like a snowflake each our own shape. We’re all born pure, and land wherever the wind takes us. Our destination is never for certain, for a cloud over a calm field, May have flakes land in a distant fire, Or fall to the concrete and get shoveled aside Forgotten of their magic and stomped to ice. Not you, the flake on the other side of the mountains, The flake that is part of an aura of calmness and peace. How we are like a snowflake each magical and full of potential. Some turned to snowmen or formed to angels, Others turn to ***** for a joyous fight, Some flakes fall on mountain tops and remain up there for years, Others fall to that same mountain and cause an avalanche. Some fall to rivers and wash away and are never seen, Not you, the flake that remains the same, that is untouched by time And unscathed by hands and prints, needing no other form to remain beautiful. Some flakes get walked all over turned hard and cold, Unfavorable to be around and hurtful when one falls. Other flakes are turned to homes providing shelter and comfort. You’re that flake free and soft, still able to fly with the wind. You’re that snowflake in the wilderness, the clean snowflake Not covered in dirt, not marked, and not yet on top of the mountain, But that snowflake that is full of so much potential and beauty. Oh how we are like a snowflake, and how you’re brilliant among us all.

A Single Snowflake
Adversity is one of the things we can’t escape in our lives; it is also one of the biggest hurdles that we must overcome for us to become better individuals. However, is this meant to be a negative, cynical assessment of what we must look forward to? The answer to this question is no. There are several effects that adversity can bring to our overall being, it can be either positive or negative depending on how you evaluate them in your perspective. One of the best things about adversity is that it’s a forceful being that tears us away from our comfort zones. It is like a strong wind that brings us to the places that we want to go but with hesitance to do so, it also removes the things we have grown fond of but are holding us back from what we should be, leaving us to be in the best shape that we can ever become instead of just imagining it from afar. Despite the best thing that we can get from adversity, it can also ******* us if we become too stuck in an unfavorable mindset wherein fear and pain comes to play. We think so much of the unknown that we forget that we have to move on, until when we do so, so much time has been wasted. Adversity is like drowning in a river of neutrality; we drift to the currents of the same common thread and forget every bit of unique trait we have upon us, and while we face life like lost ravens drifting through the darkness, searching for traces of non-diminished skies, we find meaning in our lives as we find that small patch of white light at the end of every misery we have conquered.

The reason there aren't so many vampyres around these days is they don't like TV hype and the intrusions of TV news crews. It transpires that vampyres prefer late hours and like low light levels because they're egregarious and don't like to be seen inebrious in the middle of their heinous, intravenous revels. Also, unfavorable reviews about transfusions and the confusion caused by AIDS, at this juncture, has definitely reduced the appeal of being seduced by some crazed and gurgling Transylvanian bloodsucker lusting to puncture the jugular, or any other available vein again, especially when you don't know if they've disinfected their fangs or only licked them after draining their last victim. After all, vampyres were brought up in castles when there weren't antiseptics for gargles and they haven't been taught prophylactic criteria against such apocalyptic viral bacteria. And if you've ever seen vampyres with condoms on their teeth, you'll know what I mean.   It's a scream. Everyone finds them hilarious. It'd be easier to die laughing than to go down with anemia. Also, like everyone else, vampyres hate ridicule. No-one likes being seen as the fool.    And the other reason vampyres are scarce now is that there are so many genuine muggers, hoods, crims, druggies, financial leeches, homicidal maniacs, psychopathic liars and genocidal tendencies to conjure up real fears out there, that there's not much room left for quaint old-fashioned vampyres, poor dears.   But do you know something? Even though they were naughty, I miss their occasional **** I know it was gory, but those kisses, oh boy. We got into the femoral artery inside the thigh. It was ***** But when AIDs came along, that was it.  Definitely bye-bye. Nobody wanted to die.   These are the facts.   So these vampyres were starving and they reverted to bats.   Did a midnight flit, and that's the end of my story.

Water is so precious I am so furious But people are wasting Nobody aware of scarcity Just aware your society Conserve the water Being like a martyr See the harm by the scarcity Love the water save the society Otherwise you will hanker Torment for a drop of water If the water then life Otherwise life is like a knife Just conserve it Aware each one like knit Water will save you Otherwise unfavorable conditions Face you

Start by hitting snooze Twice for good measure Leave the house just a few minutes later Turning right into a jam A thick, slow traffic jam Viscous car molasses But much less sweet Sit there for a second Simmering in sweat Your blood begins to boil Your hands begin to clench Grip the steering wheel Watch the clock tick time away Curse your screeching alarm Curse the convertible in front of you Curse Monday mornings Curse anything but yourself Know that screaming at the cars Won’t make that red turn green But do it anyway Honk your horn Flash an unfavorable finger To the vehicles doing the same to you How is it rush hour When everything is lagging Your will to move is sagging Roll your eyes at the radio Wishing listeners a good morning Oblivious to your mini meltdown Once you can peel away And break through that barrier Sprint down that street Swerving aggressively Whip into the parking lot Pretend your throat isn’t hoarse And your knuckles aren’t white Go about your day Get excited for tomorrow morning Tuesdays are better Right?

POWER OF A SMILE
Who am I? I'm a messed up girl who tries way too hard. I' m impulsive, moody, and really insecure. I don't trust very easily, and I always think I'm about to lose someone. I always see my flaws, and sometimes make them up. I'll never think my stomach is small enough, or my smile is pretty enough, but I still manage to get one on my face. I whine and complain, this is true. Jealousy is my mortal enemy, along the few on my unfavorable list. Yes, I'm sure we all have a mental list of those who did us wrong. I always want to make everyone happy, but I always think I'm just bothering them. I'm shy underneath all these attempts to make you think otherwise. Being outgoing doesn't mean you're confident, and doesn't mean you're not shy. I love with everything I've got. When I fall, I fall hard, in a metaphorical and literal way. I'm quite a clumsy girl. Can't go a day without walking into some. I'll make you angry, but I'll make you happy too. You may want to just scream your head off at me, but I can also make you laugh. Don't give up on me please, cause I'm still trying not to give up on myself. I get really nervous at times. Full on panic attacks at others. I'm extremely indecisive. I get distracted easily sometimes. But I’m also a good listener, and will be here whenever advice is needed. I hate being alone, afraid of it even. Sometimes I think it's fate though. I’m rarely an open book, very hard to understand. I so badly wish to be understood though. I’m scared of showing emotions, because experience has shown me they’re just no good to have. In the end, I'm clearly imperfect. But I'm working on it. One day I might be strong One day I may be graceful One day I might just learn to breathe, let go and move on One day I might not fear being alone so much, just because I know I can handle it Yes I still hope someone will be there, by my side, someone who knows how much I've tried, changed and overcome. Someday, I'd like to show you the girl I can be, instead of telling you about the girl I want to be.

What is he like? How does he dress? What does he read? The questions come flooding in like my feelings when I first saw him, except instead of riding the wave, I'm drowning in it. Drowning in scrutinizing eyes, curious mouth, and women past their prime, trying to live vicariously through me. How old is he? What's his major? Where does he go to school? A word of advice, never start dating around the holidays, you instantly become the center of attention. There intentions are good, but they hold my regard for them far to high. Thinking, they can pass of fail the one I love like a school boy on an exam. Thinking, they can void him like an unfavorable law. Thinking, there opinion really matters to me. Where is he from? What does his parents do? How long have you known him? I humor them, for these conversations can be fun sometimes, I do love talking about him. Though the questions are never ending, as though we are in a ring, and they are looking for an opening, circling around me, trying to find the week spot. Interrogation me, trying to make me crack, for surely no boy can be so perfect. Where does he work? Does he watch sports? What clubs is he in? I do not understand why they feel so entitled to my life, I do not understand when my happiness stopped being enough. I do not understand when you became part of our relationship. I love him, and he loves me, and everyone else will just have to live with that. Approval be ******

Boyfriend Material
Catatonic inscriptions etches through my textile discernment Insidious cycles of turmoil encased within a festering distress Uncertainty obscures my comfort into a chaotic complacency Transforming the subtle movement of thought and bewilderment Through the re-occurring sequences of paranoia and my uneasy psychosis Haunting the whole of this psyche and the mental state I've come to fancy A tell-tale apprehension of merriment and contentment may be a dismal reality All the while being obsessed with the unfavorable outcomes I conjure within But, I can't get enough of the disarray that breeds within my frail skull So distant from what I feel in the ecstasy of my self-selected normality The meek proposal of sanity has little to hold against these crooked grins As this chaotic thought process leaves rationality as a vague ideal to null Expansive introspection has no limit to what is perceived as validity And, to be enveloped in the ambiguity and delusion of fact is so enticing We all know that we've all come to recognize the fabrication of our own truth The futile attempts to obtain an immaculate conviction in pure solidity Is so wondrously perfunctory and constant as the life that i'm living That I dread the day of departure from this hysteric observance of aging youth

Schizophrenic Philosophers
About twenty-nine thousand kids die everyday And I wonder why I was blessed to grow up Why did I get a chance to grow up, In a roulette system of unfavorable odds They let me have a life and tried to say I should thank all my achievements to a god. Don't take the little I earned And say it wasn't mine to earn. These days aren't all easy, the nights are a blur I found the best friends in people who didn't know who they were Growing up and forgetting to throw up their hands Then defining themselves by jobs, they happened to land **** Weren't we just kids, can you feel that? Hold on a second, let me take you back. Remember that time, back in Szumski's basement We spent no time practicing, Mitch on drums, Clark on bass I started singing, no stage, but it felt like a taste Of what our lives would be like making it Every wasted night, not a night felt wasted. Not a night felt wasted. Remember? Pretending we could skate and scooter Even if as the summer's end kept coming sooner We'd never admit we were doomed. To grow up. We mostly split, seperate ways, that's how life plays Speaking in tenses of old acquaintances, "I'm doing okay." I wonder how often we really are okay when we speak that way. A million thoughts a minute fly through my mind, And if I'm being honest, sometimes, I just miss you guys. In the past six years, I've felt like a failure, a champion, A father, a loser, and all the others in between. If growing up for you has been like it is for me I'm sure you know exactly what I mean.

The ocean isn't really beautiful. Even Bukowski said so. Stop treating things like they need to be happy gooey and awesome. In fact, the happy gooey--or crunchy if it is preferable-- awesome, isn't real because it oozes alacrity and therefore adds some sort of undeniable blandness, like the way they add unfavorable GMOs in food, to reality that makes happy gooey awesome all the more not perfect. The sun isn't always magnificent is it? There will be bad days, where people are strange and do strange things that  you will not understand and you will do strange things where people will never understand or when **** just starts to fall apart like life lacks forward momentum and nihilism runs rampant in your lungs. But it's not always night is it? And then there will be normal days when this place seems to let you breathe for awhile, inhaling and exhaling filing up those voids of the "bad days" and the "good days", allowing you to enjoy the small pleasures of this world. Allowing you to fit and conform into boundaries of your own self-made contentment, ultimately restricting you into your self-made hole with you and your conquered beliefs over the years from good situations or bad situations or situations in between. But and don't mind me for taking that long to reach a small point the entire universe isn't that small is it?

A shield is carefully crafted, Linking and weaving scars together to protect the bruised heart inside. A shield is not a painted piece of polished protection. A shield is the last resort, a desperate attempt to grip onto life, Which is but a fragile skein of thread, that quickly unravels and easily snaps in two. The bruised heart is not hiding behind this armor. A poor heart that has suffered at the abuse of the outside world, Is simply trying to preserve itself from decaying. If the battered heart is not secured behind its shield, The deterioration of the muscle begins and the heart slowly fades away In an revolting and repulsive death, Unless the world is merciful and a spear is plunged through the heart before it can succumb to a lethargic and dreadful death. The heart avoids its fate, Skirting around pain and skipping away from death.   Through as the shield of scars becomes lame and worn, The poor heart begins to wonder, Would death really be so unfavorable, If death meant it wouldn't have to live like this anymore?

A Shield
At night I feel like a widow I lay next to a shadow with my head pressed between a pillow. For real though. I can hear the heat rise up from down beneath low. My eyes won't shut 'til the sun comes up shinin' through my window. I'm settin' sail, unconcerned with how the wind blows. Disconcerting notions rhythmically pound upon the ship's bow. Concentrating on endless oceans of electrical impulse. My legs shake as my muscles lull, unnerved by how the terrain's thrown. How do the waves flow? Hunger explodes out of my chest; Exposing all of my rib bones. A rabid pack of salty dogs engaged in acts I wouldn't condone. A rancid sack of sewer rats nibble at success in foster family group homes. You'll never be alone once you cop another copy; Always accompanied by your own clones. Which way did I go? **** out all the unfavorable people through the peephole. If it looks, smells, tastes and feels, then it must be really real. Uh-OH! We've baked another batch, but keep the lids all sealed. We don't know what will happen if the scent is caught by the bloodhound's ego. Sound the alarm and stretch your arms late in the afternoon. Pass the grind down the line from teeth, to beans, to time, to you. Hunker down that anchor now, the deadline's almost due. It seems the sea is the majority, but man, I'm sick of bein' blue. I've discerned now how the waves roll.

Dreams Awakened; Lucid Fluid
pain spreads like a pandemic, infecting even the kindest of us. sadness is a painful bruise evident on the surface of our skin. we wear emptiness like it is the latest fashion trend. the contagion spreads through our word; it reaches the depths of our hearts. during times like these, we ask God, "where are you?" only to be met with a cold silence. our own twenty-first century plague. we are the rats that carry the virus. the few of us appear who asymptomatic eventually succumb to the pathogen. we overdose on pills and drown ourselves in alcohol to escape pain only to learn that it is inexorable. our words are pernicious and our actions are even more so. we create a false image of unity in the light of unfavorable times, which seem to come more frequently than in the past. we hold each others hands and hold our own tongues hoping that submitting to our government will save us this time. we are wrong, but we choose again and again to hide from the perilous truth; we are not safe from each other or from ourselves. any detriment that we suffer is entirely deserving.

twenty-first century plague
At first glimpse, I shudder, there is something in your face, I almost recognize, It's different now, More articulate, your eyes have become hollow and vacant, Without spirit, Haunting and hopeless, no longer being seen as bestowed by a diety, lifeless, No longer illuminating a disheartened world, Seeing too many unfavorable aspects of life, drawn, the light which once poured, nightfall surrounds, not of ignorance, but from experience, the secrecy of these shadows, the rendered soul, cause me to visit the unwelcomeness, that I have known, twilight touches my face, as I step away from the mirror, promising never to return.

stepping away
I want to give up... my problems are way scarier than others, I am everything, the center, unfavorable situations find me like a childhood friend, Trouble trouble everywhere No time to live, If I live for some days double trouble pursue me to outlive, I'm Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear Shakespeare wrote my predicaments six centuries earlier, My birth was a tragedy, I'm armored in 'hamartia', 'anagnorisis' 'peripeteia', and what not searching my doom to entertain few who paid to see me, I have none neither unity of time, or place or action, I don't deserve this, But What should I do? I have no means and measures or methods, to raise my hand and say, "Sir, this disgusts me, living like this doing same task same time all day" Count me absent since today, I'm going never to come, What a sick time this is, everyone is hating everyone, I hate everyone too, why shouldn't I? I'd one demand, I want to study, but no one had money to pay, neither family, nor state, or center, I saw them investing in bricks and stones I saw them collecting taxes, But no one came, I wanted to work no had work to offer. So I am writing, venting off my anguish, Okay so if you are here, I call you my confidant, keep it a secret, You know I am alone now But I wasn't before, a girl I love but never told her my feeling, why???? Yes, she is employed, she earns I do not, I fear this, I search for work, not that I need one, I crash on the footpath, live on the discarded crumbs out the big restaurant in my city, I'm not invoking pity in you-- Argumentum ad Misericordiam-- stating just the fact sir, I believe in "Less is MOre" and indeed I have less and I am happy but what troubles me is her, Ah! it's not that easy, I've heard they don't take seriously unemployed guys, Yes, sir, I may be wrong, but I don't want to take any chance, Life is not a life sir without her, You can judge this in the tone after I started tak]lking about her. I love her dearly, But who doesn't sir? when they are young,
