insecurity is eating me the world is showing me that you have to be having it all or you have nothing. i should be happy with my natural blessings. my hair my face my me because it all belongs to God and i was made special in his image and if he supplies all of my needs then my natural self is okay that is all i should need. those people that i envy those people aren't happy those people are irresponsible those people are temporary because they waste their life and feed on on temporary things and you are what you eat. those people don't care those people are full of the gigantic meal called themselves their ego. i see but the would feeds me a different meal which i am the cook they feed me my own unsatisfactory. wow this is how i eat and be eaten.

the world is showing me
What do you think of the ****** of the Prime Minister? Yes, what do you think of the ****** of the Prime Minister? And what do you feel? Are you in shock or depressed? A question was asked. And do you stutter or are you unsure of what will happen, or do you speak with such bewilderment because of the future or the present— A question was asked. And perhaps you feel stupid or without a point of view? Answer. And I reply: All that you say is right and you are a dear person. And I want to add one more thing: The Prime minister died a happy man. Peace to the dust of the Prime Minister Husband and father and something more: the son of Red Rosa. Translated from the original Hebrew by Karen Alkalay-Gut.

flawed *
Biro poetry doesn’t work It does not flow or fill the page with easy thoughts The pen is a bulky lover, rather than the finer bodied pencil It gives no quarter in correction, and scribbling out is just a messy affair So it is unsatisfactory, clumsy and clogging Oh for my pencil, where have you gone, my love? Your fine point skating the velum, An extension of my mind Allowing expression beyond such coarse biro ******

I’ve lost my pencil
i. Coming out of the state of anabiosis, mine form was ripped and torn, mine adorn was battered and burned, I went through Hades whilst the pit of death's kiss shattered me in agowilt; ii. I was dying, in Hell's kilt; once a shape, now ***** in a pit of unsatisfactory demon's; roped, doped, bleeding. iii. The scaled creature's bit me, the ceiling's muck dripped me, whilst at mine ending breath's, a light shined forthward, a Filipino empress. iv. I was nothingness: a mess, molested, infected, by the realm of raven's nest's. That's when she thundered in, in Baro’t saya wonder; twas me who on the sea, on her lip's i swirled up-with Satan down under, mine tears hadst fluttered by like butterfly's; mine ghost awoke with Jane; v. Twas, she was Heaven on Mine side; She took me For a ride, Back to Life Again!!! ©Brandon Nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl Jane Nagley dedicated ( Filipino rose)

What drives a man to achieve his goals? Motivation of course! The enthusiastic mindset that if you work hard, you'll achieve. The unhindered perspective that compels you to think about the end goal and ignore the hardships that attempt to impede your progress towards greatness. The idea that putting your best foot forward will gain the admiration of a metaphorical Hermes who will then grant you his winged sandals to propel you above the rest of your peers and out of your unsatisfactory situation. What drives a man to succeed in his ventures? Motivation of course! A burst of energy that says "I can do it if I believe I can." despite limitations on your strength or your intelligence or your character. An aura that surrounds you and invigorates your humors, enticing your senses as well as giving you a mask that hides your unsure demeanor. It's a revelation, that motivation, which enlightens the soul and frees the body from the chains that marked the end of it's abilities. What drives a man to accomplish milestones for himself? Perhaps it manifests itself in something other than motivation. It could be the desire to find acceptance, to be wanted, to get that simple thumbs up that sends a message that needs not be spoken. "You did well." Possibly it would be the wish, the simple wish that a man will have done something worth remembering in the brief existence that he has, something he can look back on and think to himself, "I didn't do half-bad on that, did I?" Teetering on the self-existential reflecting concepts, it could just be that man wishes to find fulfillment by filling his daily activities with anything. And that the greater the activity, the laborious hours put into completion, here man finds solace in putting meaning into his day to day living. Thus we find that goals are merely tick marks, road signs on the long drive from life's start to inevitable death. This, this is all motivation. Anything that places reins over a man's mind and hits the spur against his brain, in hopes that this will help him move forward and do what he believes is necessary to do. Motivation is to place one's self in this self-deprecating position as to be a slave to ambition in order to be satisfied with one's life. And to think that motivation is a blessing that leads to self-improvement. Motivation is truly the mind's greatest illusion.

Let us awake from the decay of strategic costumes where the incestuous fragrance of madness permeates golden dreams of eclectic strokes. Bureaucratic self-enhancement nurtures docile manufacturers of laborious compliance, whilst social conscience plummets to depths of callous and entrepreneurial versatility. Enduring imitations of an unsatisfactory kind is like pairing mint fondant with rich and savoury gravy which is acquired with strategic dishonesty. Oh, negligent wakefulness – will we ever arise and discern those lobotomised representatives in this legislative brothel of excessive absurdity? Shake me at one minute to midnight in the House of Lords.

Monarchical Slumber
“Don't you miss being in love?”, she asks. I simmer, gathering myself and my thoughts. No, I don't, because I have not been in love; Not in the manner I imagine it. I have loved - beautifully, might I add - But never have I been in love. How can I have? At my best, all I knew was to compel, persuasively, someone into loving me - the best possible way I knew how. I revealed just enough of myself, the beautiful of myself, the parts of me that drew butterflies. Hidden were the broken parts of me, those which keep me awake, sleepless - 'til the moon kisses me goodnight, in the last hours before dawn. I am not, by any means, denying ever loving. I have loved, blindly and beautifully. All I have ever been good at was loving - loving someone into loving me, the best way possible. But, all of their love was inadequate. A love which always fell short of loving me, the best way possible. Love; inadequate: Unable to express loving me, unable to express themselves of loving me. In turn, I was slapped with sloppy efforts of loving me - Vague inadequacies of love. It was never enough, not remotely close, to what I had imaged loving me would be. It was short of ever arousing me internally, short of wits to spiral me into being in love. And so, how can I miss being in love, when it has always been a feeling that eluded me? How can I miss being in love, when in love - I concealed the broken parts of me? How can I have been in love when I was lonely, in love? *How can I have been in love, when all I knew of being in love was to love myself - by loving whomever loved the aesthetic parts of me?* Loving me has always been an infatuation - an infatuation of the broken pieces of me, coming together to create an illusion of a love - an unsatisfactory love for loving me. How can I have ever been in love when no one has known, expressed, conjured the best possible way of loving me. All of me. Once more, up at the last hours before dawn - awaiting the moon to kiss me goodnight, I tell her.

Trying to fall asleep in a room whose windows I can’t open My legs are tickling with jolts of energy that I’m too tired to put to good use Or use at all I’m this room, I waste so many days Wishing, wondering, longing, yearning for better things But I’m getting too familiar with this feeling of unsatisfactory living The disappointing drop in my stomach of what could’ve been is just getting old now It’s making me mad, how did I let it get this bad? I’m tired of it, it’s exhausting my drive for life, or for anything really It’s all I’ve ever known, it’s the only forever that I’m used to But it’s okay, “I’m just tired.” It doesn’t matter what they all say “You’re beautiful the way you are” If I don’t feel it myself, there is no point My body is supposed to be a sanctuary, a place of love and care But the only thing that I’ve done is slice the walls that holds it together Feed it what it craves instead of what it needs Force it to endure emptiness, refusing to give it its necessities As if that would make anything better But I swear when I look the way I want to look, I’ll feel so much better If I don’t feel beautiful, your words mean nothing to me But it’s okay, “I’m just tired.” It’s true, I’m tired to my bones My mind has been exhausted of feeling this way from long ago I am 22, but I don’t feel nor look it I have skin that sags, lines that are wrinkled, and features that I shouldn’t have to worry about At such a youthful, fruitful age I’m supposed to be at my prime, I’m supposed to feel free But I’ve never felt so caged, so afraid to be me Afraid to step into the spotlight and show myself to everyone I meet Because maybe there’s a love handle that’s hanging out of my jeans I don’t need encouragement, I don’t need positivity, I don’t need you to tell me I’m pretty I need money and independence and drive That I can’t seem to get because “I’m just so tired.”

I can't tell you how much I'm hurting To acknowledge my pain is weakness To share my weakness is pathetic But I hurt, oh, I hurt I can't tell you how much I want you to love me Because to say it would be to jinx it And to jinx it would be to lose you But, by god, I wish you loved me I can't explain how much I depend on you Because to explain would be to trust you And to trust you would be to make me vulnerable But I depend on you. I really do. I can't tell you all the little things I want you to say Because to tell you would be to make them unoriginal And to make them unoriginal would be to make them unsatisfactory But I wish you would coddle me and tell me those things I can't tell you how much I want to be yours Because to tell you would be to give you power over me And to give you the power would be to give you my leash But I wish I could, and you would own me. I can't tell you how twisted I am Because to tell you would be to make you notice And to make you notice would be to disgust you But I wish you'd accept me I can't tell you I'm sorry for that You've given me your trust But I can't give it back I can't explain So I'll apologize I simply don't want to be Pathetic in your eyes I can't confide And I'll always feel remorse But if I were to lose you I'd feel much worse I can't be who you wish me to be So I'll keep who I really am Under lock and key I'll chain up my personality So, ideally you'll see The person you can't help but love That person that leaves you starstruck I'll hold back all I am Because I am not your ideal And your ideals are above me So I can't let myself be real I've shunned who I am Because of who you are I am bitter and angry But you'll never see my scars I want to let you closer I want to try my luck But deep down I know I'm not who leaves you starstruck

the garden holds an aromarous display of flowers sprouts of tulips with their caressed petals bringing life to the dirt they were grown from all planted with a purpose someone wanted to see them bloom wanted to see all but the dandelion the pesky **** I am the dandelion plucked by the child's hands given a purpose for I sprouted without one here, mama look, I brought you a flower I thought it was just as pretty as you! smacked to the ground "youre saying I'm as ugly as that hideous **** the one that never goes away the one that shows up when you want it the least stealing your sunshine stealing nutrients from the tulips and roses in the garbage with an old banana peel and empty containers of yourt I hear the child cry I am sorry to only be a burden I am sorry I could not impress your mother I am sure I will be one of many unsatisfactory gifts I did not ask to be here a mistake a pest never appreciated only causing trouble I am the dandelion the child is me won't you let me grow freely

AND THE DANDELION WEEPS
Day Of The Deadly Living Nine to five, is what you work, both kids, think you're a **** Wife never wants *** not a phone call or even a text. Same job for ten long years, bills are in arrears. At diner, no one talks, empty is your money box. Staying together til kids turn eighteen, bad movie you'd never want put on screen. What a very depressing life, dead now, thanks to a knife. Sometimes life is unforgiving, day of the deadly living. Working graveyard shift at a factory, coming home alone is unsatisfactory. No wife, no girlfriend or even a ***** call, just Rosie, and Tara his blow up doll. Watching **** on the old laptop, its been so long, you need a mop. Couldn't get laid, even in a ***** house, up your *** you once stuck a mouse. No friends, neighbors hate you, all because they know, you knew. This poor guy never has no fun, dead now, thanks to a gun. His family died on Thanksgiving, day of the deadly living. College by day, at night a stripper, no candy jar, can't be a dipper. Only sleeps two hours a day, all night long men stalk their prey. Started snorting ******* gave up college, for a room of champagne. Now she is a coke ***** opens her legs, more than you open a door. She had no problem, just an addiction, a lost girl, with no direction. Blood gushing from the nose, dead now, thanks to an overdose. Three holes I'm regrettably digging, day of the deadly living.

On the internet I begin to fret When I keep learning my worth Like I have been since birth This thing called online dating Seems to give me my rating The conversation is scripted No matter how I've flipped it I conjure a hello hell When they answer In the form of lol They strike a ko Once they type **** And my skin starts to fry When I read kthxbai I'm left staring at a computer Wishing I had been ruder So I become jaded And develop a slick approach My patience has faded And I start to think like a coach Drawing x's and o's To get people I chose There are those that stalk And those that balk Some just want to talk And it's never their fault There are those that are mean And those that are green Some are just teens All looking to be seen I'm the watcher Their profiles remain the same as days become the past I'm the botcher I either go too slow or too fast So I stay perfectly still And wait for my fill I become a scavenger ravager When winter comes I am savager To those I consider mere passengers Other vultures migrate south for the winter I remain sedentary on a power line Frost develops on my wings I seek warmth to survive I see a dying stallion laying in an empty field alone I swoop in for the **** My quest for survival becomes one of comfort For the taste of the stud infatuates me And my enthusiasm overwhelms me As I eat through its exterior into its heart I find its diminishing warmth unsatisfactory But I'm caught in its rib cage And what was once sustenance Is now my blizzard prison It's a big derision Not flying through the air But also not quite a pair So I wait for a summer that may never show My life lit by the computer screen's glow Displaying faces of people I'll never know My vulture's talons buried in desert snow

Somehow today I saw disappointment on your face And something just snapped inside of me How does my 4.125 GPA not please you? How does balancing my honor role with Being one of the starters on the basket ball team unsatisfactory How does going to ******* Tulane for neuroscience Not good enough. What about going to state for track WHILE maintaining mostly A's just okay I get this feeling you don't appreciate me As much as you should, A daughter that her reasoning for striving To do everything perfectly Is to please you Because I feel like I still haven't quite done it yet.

Just satisfactory
I want to go home but I don't have a home. I live in the middle space between where you're driving from and where you're driving to. I live on backseats and inside large purses. I live in vending machines and beds you used to sleep in all the time but don't sleep in anymore because you moved away. I live on driveways that got redone while you were gone, and new haircuts you couldn't see because you weren't there. I live on promises that we'll do something. I live in those cool new sunglasses you got, but they broke, and I never got to see your wear them. I live in the little space between you and your lover, the one that feels like "I love you" but really means "I love you, but I'm not in love with you." I live on unsatisfactory naps and the island your friends put you on when you finally said what you'd been wanting to say. I live under the rug when you complain about people behind their backs because no one really knows how to tell someone they don't like them for who they are... as a person. I live in every spare shoebox that isn't filled with notes and gets jealous of the other shoeboxes that are filled with notes. I live on the top bunk and I've never fallen off but I'm still kind of scared that I will one day. I live on the laugh that lets me know you're still listening. I live where I never wanted to live, but I live here, because I choose to live here. And you live there because you choose to live there, even if it doesn't seem that way. I'm here and you're there. I'm here for you and you're there for me, even if it doesn't seem that way. This is where I live. You should send me a letter some time.

These images ask you to forget everything that might be construed as ‘of landscape’, because they are not. They are of the mind’s reflection: that closing of the eyes which brings something often unseen, certainly unrecognisable, to the back of the retina. It’s illusory, dreamlike - even though one is awake. The images defy formal categorization. They are not ‘like’ anything, and even if one makes an attempt at describing a mark, a fold, a ridge, a texture, a colour as ‘like’, it is wholly unsatisfactory. What you see carries with it emptiness of association, probably because things that you might describe won’t connect. So don’t. Let them lie there on painted linen cloth. Uneasy. The six cloths hang from two nails apiece, no fancy frame or fitting, two silvered nails, bang! hard into the wall. Watching very acutely they move so slightly under the air conditioning’s breath. A infinity of sadness lies upon their surfaces. Once sewn there could be no unsewing those marks made; and all that painting over and over, but the trace of a needle there always there. The full form, the total image scours the memory. These pieces seem to deny the sun, the action of weather; they have been removed from the continuum of nature and become preserved. The process of making and creating has entombed them. They absorb and reflect nothing except a waste of loneliness.

Viewing Polly Binns
11/26/2013 I'm beginning to realize how alone I really am and how alone, is what I've always been and honestly, I think I'm partly okay with that my best mates have always been these walls, this computer, and the pages in every book I've ever laid my eyes upon I've always found myself to be quite lonely little did I realize that I had everything I needed I've found comfort, in knowing that these pages can not up and leave me they cannot decide to hate me or ban me from their pithy lives they cannot judge me or deem me unsatisfactory I have found comfort, in knowing that these walls can not walk, and can not think, and can not judge, and most of all, I have found comfort in knowing that these walls can not talk I've learned, over the years, to live alone, inside my own mind, not to worry about others I've learned to keep to myself I've found things to keep my occupied and most important of all, I've learned you can not let your emotions and feelings depend on those around you because they will fail you every time, they will fail you you must learn to live with yourself, you must learn that your mind is an oasis, an escape, a paradise, that does not need to depend on anyone else, but yourself to be happy © 2013 Scarlet Van Allen

Loneliness
I'm a fool. Lost between something truly comfortable and an old spark. Why the **** do I do this **** This feeling of lost time, Of constant yearning. The result of a lifetime of unsatisfactory relationships; especially the one I have with myself. That's the answer isn't it? Nothing. Just me, myself and I to figure it all out. 100% acknowledged. *Yet my heart... Could not yearn harder.* It's defining... This constant pulse in my ears. Makes me want to curl up and sleep it off... No hangover in the morning, No missed messages, Nothing. Just wash my makeup off, And still think I'm beautiful. Wait...

Makeup's important, for clowns.

Reevaluation by Definitions
She was accused of Many unstable unsatisfactory emotions All of which amalgamated her hurricane soul That so breathlessly changed pace With every maleficent or peaceful encounter That fed the storm of her pith A hollow quintessential girl Hidden beneath eyes of tragic twinkle and An amorphous disposition That so whispered her visceral uncertainty With which She placed her demons in plethora Upon all who obstreperously disturbed The susurration of her own self-cataclysm This decrepit distorted typhoon Of the thundering lullaby she once embraced Dissatisfied with the resonant rhapsodic scintilla She so carelessly went from sonorous to somnolent Once her nature echoed a sanguineous symphony Of intimate honesty’s to now Only as discreetly murmur callous contempt Until this once magnificent hurricane soul Did crumble like the walls her efficacy once Tore down to whimper into the dust that is Now her soul’s riven zephyr.
