1, 2, 4, 8... Chromosomes and cells of mine, They duplicate. My personality divides Any and every time. Meiosis - My rapid mutations, I find that they Fuel my psychosis Unrealistically High expectations I let me rip me apart I divide and split Over and over again This is the alien That I've become I'm never enough It's never the same Gaps of DNA through Generations. Meiosis - I know this, I know that I'm not good enough As a single, a one, Tear myself in half to Give them two When I'm done.

Meiosis Part 1
Mountains’ majesty a cave of amethyst brews confidence in its own perfection near the peak peeking into the crayon colored clouds. Desire for a moment free from earth where right above our heads the world is colorfully candid through a foggy wine-stained film. Glossy sun through glossy eyes entices the mind enough to lift legs one thousand and two steps up the mountain coiling through indigo trees on turquoise trails until we pass the purple threshold where it’s best to pass the time. Pomegranate lips smile stretching pomegranate skin yours tastes like otter pops and *** mine I imagine is similar with a hint of bad decisions. This reality is unrealistically appetizing contorting trails contort minds peaking at the sunset so close I swear we’re almost there.

Cave of Amethyst
The most beautiful thing I've ever read- was a love poem that I found, hidden between the dusty cupboards of my mother's room, filled with things that just "didn't matter" anymore. It was flooding with thoughts I waved off as- "foolish" with fake plastic vows of love, not unlike those crisp, shiny valentine heart rings, only given to the most attractive every February. Stories of parting, from which shone a glossy sparkle like that of a fake glass diamond, labeled with black numbers as something worth a thousand. I've always thought that if you were going to leave someone, you should be aloof and cold. If you make "warm memories", won't the parting just be that much harder? That sunset that was described as being unrealistically ethereal, I tried to see it myself, even hooking my feet around the cold metal bars of the balcony, and pretending that I could fly. But that sunset was fake too, I discovered. A synonym of those medals that you eagerly await to get, but in the end, aren't gold, or silver, but just a sheet of mocking plastic, thousands of identical ones of which have been made, in a factory choking on smog, thousands of miles away, in China. There was always that villain, who would try to break the lovers apart. Sometimes, the villain was described as, "dark", and "Irresistible". I was puzzled by that fact, mulling obsessively over the idea, Why didn't the protagonist get with the villain in the end? I was undeniably jealous, of the heroine, who seemed to draw everyone to her with a warm light, that I didn't seem to have, no matter how hard I tried. She was a perfect damsel in distress, waiting for her partner, who would always, always, without fail, come to save her from danger and the unknown. They were both risking everything for what they loved. "Stereotypical love poem," I scoff, willing myself to throw that piece of paper away with the trash, But- to this day, the most beautiful thing I have read, is that stereotypical love poem, now tucked between two bookshelves, which are full of things, that "matter" now.

The Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, who brings chills down my spine every time. Sweet on the inside, cold-hearted on the outside, Especially when he leaves me high and dry in the morning unexpectedly. He’ll remind me that I’m alive, And make me feel Zen for a split second, Then he splits in a second. Or The Caramel Macchiato, Tall with a sophisticated smile And unrealistically hazel eyes That read “bello” around his irises. With a shot of expression— He’s never afraid to speak how he feels. But that’s just the Italian in him. Or The Pumpkin Spice Latte, The most popular guy. He’ll warm me up when I’m cold; And make me feel like I’m his only one, He’ll tell me everything I want to hear, Then he’ll disappear without a sign— At least until the next year, Only to continue the same cycle over again. Or The Cappuccino, He’s got a strong mind like those French roast blends With a secret soft side. He speaks with fluidity and is As charismatic as the rest. He’s a morning person nonetheless, And won’t leave me loveless In the sheets like Mr. Vanilla Bean sometimes does. Or The Teavana Chai Tea Latte He sounds fancy, does he not? He’s different to say the least, Layered with many spices, And from cinnamon trees, He’s warm-hearted, yet feisty. Gentle, yet fatuously energetic. Soft spoken, yet bold, He doesn’t have to do much To have me sold to his trance. Now for me to decide what I want As more people file in, deliberating the same Line up as I, but they have more to Choose from. Perhaps I should loosen up some, and go With last one.

have you ever wanted something so bad you'd give up everything just to have it? a few years back, all i wanted was to be so ******* happy. i would've given up everything and everyone for that state of everlasting euphoria. two years after, the world has knocked some sense into me, and i realised you can never really be that happy, at least not all the time. so instead of aiming to be unrealistically happy, i wanted to feel something, anything would do. you see, when all you feel is extreme sadness, all you'd want to feel is extreme happiness. but when all you feel is nothing. when you're hollow, when you're so empty you can't feel yourself exist, all you'd want is to feel. all you'd want is to exist. to know what complete feels like, to know what feelings feel like. at the age of thirteen, this is all i've really wanted, but i knew that just because you want something doesn't mean you'll get it. (life's no wish granting factory.) (there are no fairy god mothers, unfortunately.) (you've got no one but yourself, i think.) (now, here's where you come into the picture stutter portrait stutter masterpiece, stutter reality.) so far long, i haven't met anyone with the potential to be considered a real friend. i mean, for the most part of my existence, my friends were picked out for me. none of them knew how to stay, not with someone like me, and i didn't know how to stay either. you weren't like all those other friends, you weren't someone, someone else has picked out for me, i wanted you as bad as i wanted to feel something and i think you were the only person i couldn't imagine myself giving up to that. you were the only person that i felt like holding on to. felt..? with you, empty is a foreign word to me. you are fulfillment in it's only form. you are what makes me, and you're the only one i'd allow to break me. (although you never do.) you are the only one i feel like giving every part of myself to, take all of me. don't give any back. i don't need any back because i feel you existing within me -in my thoughts- the only place i spend so much time zoning off in because it's the only place i get to completely have you. there's a thin to thick line between love and need and it's deadly (when it's both at once) but i've only ever felt alive with you. and even god is a witness to all the love I have for you and my inability to let go is enough proof to how much i need you. i need you in many ways other than needing you to be mine, in fact i don't think you can ever be of anyone's possession. i don't think you can belong to anyone entirely, because you are the universe and you are what keeps everyone going even when you can't keep going yourself. please, always keep going or else everything will die away with you. you're not everything a person should be but you're all i ever wanted in a person and i know you're not perfect but your mistakes don't define you either. don't let anything define you, because you're much too much to fit under words. i love that you're guarded, and you don't let many people in, but baby, i swear you're loved x100. you are wanted. (i'll aways be the one to want you most though.) i love trying to understand you. i love you for everything you are and everything you could ever become and i'll love you for now and years to come. so for this year, all i really want is you. you to be okay. i guess i finally found my euphoria and maybe you do end up getting what you want.

conversations that take place in my head with you: (not really with you, just, you, the one in my head.)

Spending intangible dollars at the mercy of my ever growing appetite, Instead of buying my ticket out of this perfectly advantageous country, Which focuses solely on my beauty and money. I neglect my inner advice telling me to drop it all and run, To where I can breathe and focus on God, Promoting a healthier way of living and improving humanity. Momentary hope that unrealistically characterizes perfection As a quality that I can mentally download and miraculously make the above, true, Never seems to linger long enough to actually induce action, Which leads to disappointment draining the motivation essential to recover my missing pieces, Which pushes me to crave cash I don’t have, to pick up that dose, That hushes the unwarranted guilt that seduces me into thinking that I’m not incredibly blessed, And that I can’t handle what I’ve been dealt, Blurs the doubts I have about my abilities, my self- worth, Forcing me into a state of content that awakens my creativity, While vaguely being able to make out memories of let down led by myself and my mother, Who was a part of what was never good enough for my idea of a perfect family. I’ve wrongly accepted that a mediocre life-performance is to be had while following the crowd, While obsessing over flaws that are negligible to my true purpose in life, And with that I’ve become stifled by the decision to remain effortlessly stuck.

The Three Word Story.
Unrealistically going ballistic on premature political whistle blowing of missing ballistic missiles. Rumors round the fickle frowns trickling down around town, WMD's never found. Media drowns out our original intent with swayed day-to-day comments about potential evidence or contents of secret documents or undisturbed "security clearancegate". Still secret and still unclear year-to-date.... our eroded freedoms now appurtenances as consequence. The missing  missiles long ago hidden or moved like agendas with chess-master finesse. Citizens chide "You lied!! Confess!" Behooving you proves nothing in bringing relief to your beliefs, thieving your freedoms and Commander in Chief. Lectures on conjecture don't secure a future. It's almost "Au Revior" american cars and mortgages, hype puts the scarred afar Stars and Stripes Bail Bonds Czars in business. Meanwhile billions are spent to rebuild the countries invaded without consent. The Banks are saved but don't repent. Far enough away to keep my iniquity a bay for today. I clearly see what is before me, but respond not to my thoughts as I was taught. Septed in guilt, wept in filth kept in tilt loss is coming, should have flossed. The long term costs tossed aside. Just another day I drive away from the driveway rarely driven to lie longer or lie down somber, striving for stronger days lost, feels wrong though. I still go. Pay the tolls. Stop and go. Fill the daily paying role outside my dreams and goals. Play generic background music while my soul's on hold waiting for the next available operator. Just another day, a way to stay alive and not lie down in hunger, paying for my blunders, staving off my heart's quiet thunder, my dreams and wonders. I still get up. I still go. Bills to pay. Traffic's slow. I mute the radio. -R. Craig David-Copyright 2007

Just another day, a way to stay alive and not lie down in hunger, paying for my blunders, staving off my heart's quiet thunder, my dreams and wonders. I still get up. I still go. Bills to pay. Traffic's slow. I mute the radio. -R. Craig David-Copyright 2007

The dream last night had seemed so real… But it was just a dream, right? Those shadows, the messages on the mirror, the walls, all the groaning and the shuffling of feet… That was all just a dream, right?      This is all just a dream, right?      Fairly ridiculous question to be asking yourself as you’re being chased through the halls by this… this, this thing. Whatever this is. Its neck is limp, head resting on its shoulder. Its grin is huge, its face coated in blood.      Have you ever heard the children’s rhyme about the Crooked Man? *There was a crooked man, Who walked a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence Upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, Which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together, In a little crooked house.*      This… thing, you’re being chased by, that you’re fighting off with a fruit knife, that you’re setting on fire and pushing into holes and still won’t die…     This is the Crooked Man.      I wonder if this is all the Crooked Man knew?      His crooked house, his crooked relationships, his crooked… crooked body…      His body’s only crooked because of the rope, though.      Maybe he couldn’t handle being crooked anymore? All he knew was a crooked life, all he owned were crooked things.      I wonder why he’s chasing you.      It could be to drag you down, to slaughter you, to make you feel his pain… More than you already have… To make you end up like him.      Your pasts are so similar…      Or maybe it’s to warn you. To say, “Don’t end up like me.” To make sure that you don’t die the way he died. The way he staggers, his limp neck, head hanging loosely, his unrealistically large grin…      Why did he make you put that gun to your head, then? Why is he trying to drag you down? That’s a problem for you to figure out on your own. But you’d better hurry.      By the way, I noticed earlier… Your neck is a little crooked. (This one was based off the video game, The Crooked Man. Yaay, video games.)

You put a whole new taste to sugar Those candy commercials couldn't label the sweetness of you ***** Wonka is drinking himself to sleep Because you're the superior type of candy when I put you into words I don't sweet talk to get something I sweet talk cause its honestly true Your precensce sticks to me like glue All those books with Mary Sues Unrealistically describes you All the food in the fridge is expired But not my love for you

Sweetness in the Sugar
As pure as water can be, in an affluent and wealthy country, My soul has a Cornelian dilemma when it comes to purity. How can we be good people when we live so easily? Innocents are dying of thirst and I take a bath every other day. Does it really count if one buys organic and fair-trade items, When it is that easy, that accessible, and they are still hungry over there? But what else are we allowed to do, that is not too compelling? What can our money do, when all it does now constrain others? I try every day to be as good, as pure, as I am able to Though I still feel futile, small... and unrealistically optimistic.

An Unrealistically Optimist
Broken promises are just hopes that don't work out tear you down, make you frown, make you pout they are the end to a relationship, the final "we're through" Almost but never saying "I love you" or even "I do" Like the baby bird which lifts off the ground, but can't fly Like the child on his bed asking god "Why?" One side just learns from the mistake, the other wants to die Feeling so low, when the hopes were so high Makes you sink, makes you wish unrealistically, letting you down setting you up for another broken promise

Broken Promises
Reality is; The real that ruins our hopes and dreams. The reason we cannot live our most deep and creative thoughts. Life in its dullest form. Something for us to snap back to, when dreams become too much. Messing with the pleasing inspiration retained from existence. Making the vivid thoughts we want to make true, become buried with us. Lying there in a mind once unrealistic; free. Bombarded by the captivation of reality in its finest. Boxed up and unknown. These dreams, feelings, and pure creativity, never heard or witnessed by another living being, and never will be. All because a little phrase known as reality, corrupted the mind, and interrupted its better half; unrealistically.

Cold, Harsh: Reality.
When I think of life, I don't think of my life span, Or me on this long road on a lonely journey I imagine life as this whole world,the people,the species The whole space the earth occupies and beyond, So big and so wide,the choices and options are endless, Just like everyone else,I'm no alien here And I have my own space. So then I think to myself,who am I not to dream big, I mean;look at the greatness and opportunities in this place called a planet, Aren't they all there for everyone to dive at and pursue? So pardon me if my expectations seem "unrealistically high", Wouldn't want to change them anyway. If they hurt me;it'll all turn out as artistic inspiration, If they work out well,,.well it'll still be inspiration.

Life
Despite my imaginative nature, I always favor reality over fantasy I prefer a world where roses aren’t merely red And violets aren’t blue- -no, seriously, blue? They’re violet. It’s in the ******* name. Violet. I don’t understand the tendency to portray reality unrealistically Why sell it up? Why try to improve it? Call me cliché, but isn’t the world perfect Because of its imperfections? Just look at the sky. Like, right now. Look up. It’s nice, isn’t it? It’s always nice, too, that’s the thing. When it’s spot-free, clean and devoid of blemish Or even when it puts on its display of thickly-caked cloud-cover-up and rich, crimson blush And you don’t need to see it through a rose-tinted screen. There aren’t little panels projecting it in enhanced quality It doesn’t fear criticism, It’s real. There isn’t a system in place Perpetuating some marketplace incredulity that the sky- -that same sky that’s there all the time, In all time zones, Commercial-free, Every day from dawn to noon to dusk- Is any soup-of-the-season trademark I mean, c’mon, enhanced quality? How do you quantify that anyway? And while I’m the one on the stand Why should I present my case any differently? Why does perspective shift imply a change in wordplay? I have a legitimate concern, from me to you I fail to see why I should express it any differently I want to talk to you. I don’t want to impress you. I want you to listen. A simply spoken truth can be more poignant than an intricate lie. ‘Cause after all, Wrap a lie up any way you like, Define it with any hip terminology you like, It’s still a ****** lie.

i have been to a place in the back of my mind forever i am there, forever has no time. its like my instincts tell me not to follow my instincts and ofcourse that leads me to a black hole where my nerves and brain and veins aren’t even linked and i laugh and its blurry and i cough and i win i love and i lose and i have no hands to lend. they have evaporated into my finger prints as i babble on and on with the world surrounding me and not a soul to lean upon who will listen to my plees and i lay here and i sit here while i’m really on my knees my mind is wrapped around all and nothing and i’m lost inside my self trapped like birds without wings and i never knew who i’d be and i’m not sure who i am if this is me in future past or present or if i’m seeing what i see the world is spinning here in so many different ways and this is not a day it is a day filled with years i scream out and the words are foreign to myself and the ones who can’t listen all the eyes are glazed as the sky and grass glisten unrealistically and it confuses me cause they gleam the same and i can’t remember my face, my morals, my name.

not what i was aiming for
"Why don't you ~Smile~ More?" I wish I knew how many times those words left people's lips to slap me in the face. I want to tell them everything. About how I stay up reading until the words blur and fade, because I hate being alone with my thoughts in the dark. How I over-analyze EVERYTHING, every mistake replaying, replaying, replaying like a broken record. How I can't breathe before another imagined scenario- unrealistically good or bad- pulls me under. It all comes back to the writhing, swelling ocean of my brain, but I shrug and say "I guess I'm just tired."

There's a reason I'm not smiling, and it's not because I don't like you
Sometimes I wonder All the time actually if it's bad that I think about things like this You've given me very few reasons to feel Any way that isn't bliss but I still find myself questioning things I shouldn't think I ask myself What it means to Be In Love because in the end isn't it just a word? even though I know it's a feeling too. I ask myself why do I always put you first? and forget about myself Because I'm good at blending in I'm good at conforming to avoid conflict and make myself more likeable In the end, I'm not outstanding. I'm not really funny or interesting or unique I'm not really very pretty either. So is that why I conform? To be what I imagine you want Because I'm afraid of losing you even though you've never given me a reason to believe that you'd leave me if I were anything but myself Is it really Love If I ask these questions? Will I ever find an exact match? Someone who thinks like me or act as I'd expect? Because my expectations are unrealistically high So I'd never find someone better, right? I blame the movies.

I blame the movies
And humans enjoy pain. Because even when they are perfectly happy they always dig for what they don't want to find. First letting others tear you down, then you finish unconsciously tearing yourself down. Finally you're so unrealistically happy that you want to know all the negatives, Foolish human. You want to remember error after error marring life. And knowing you can't turn back time you make yourself angry, you make yourself hurt with knowledge that even if you could-you wouldn't have changed a thing. Yet you smile that bittersweet smile as you look back. There's no voices, it's just you. Tearing yourself apart. Because that's what you've learned. That's what you do best. Ignorant human Why didn't you know? You're a meat coated skeleton made of stardust. Like thousands more. You aren't the only little human. There's more-there will always be more. Time cannot erase what it's shaped. Time cannot change another souls' will to make unforeseen mistakes. Mistakes that harm. And you're marred. Marked by time. Marked by those mistakes. Aged. You angry, insecure, foolish, ignorant, little human. And even if you smile-Once more with this quaking pain you've brought on yourself. You chose this. And although all is forgiven and forgotten by those souls. You will always remember. You will alway regret. But you've been shaped-cannot be unshaped. You cannot turn back time. Once a raindrop falls it into the puddle it cannot come back out for as it fell time passed and the seconds aren't coming back. So now you accept it, although it hurts you remember Little idiotic human And so now you have sunlight with shadows, Nights with moonlight, happiness with agony, and life with death. You're haunted. Filled with self hatred. And you, you're just a sick human who enjoys pain

Unrealistically enamoured with you. As in, we are an unrealistic pairing. As in, if you ever /were/ to reciprocate my affection, we would both have to pray that my stupid crush-obsession turned into something real. As in, before you discovered how emotionally stunted and unhealthy I am. As in, maybe I can’t feel real things for other people, and maybe trying to touch you would only reveal you to be smoke. Unrealistic, unrealistic, unrealistic, unrealistic, unrealistic. As in, I think you’re wildly uninterested in me; I think I’m the opposite of your type; I think I confuse any type of fondness for a faint glimmer of hope; I think I should ******* give up; But I have an addict’s brain and it keeps chasing the idea of us round and around and around, wearing grooves into the earth. As if by doing so I can tire myself out of the idea. As if by doing so the cracks will bleed into reality. I think I should ******* give up.
