I wanted to ask if you smiled today
but then I remembered
it's kind of toxic to tell a woman to smile.
Sometimes we can't find a reason to smile
even if there is.
And that is better than forcing it.
Like, sometimes it's more genuine... – by Jozef Cain | added by JozefCain

From 12 until 22
I spent most waking hours
under the influence of Cannabis
I couldn't sleep without it
I smoked tobacco as much as possible,
and at 19, once I could buy them,
I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day until 23
I was baptized... – by Jozef Cain | added by JozefCain

6 hours of slow drip reminder.
Dull pain, numb hands, and confusion.
Fog in my head,
can't get out of bed.
A hug from a demon who visits every couple weeks and stays for a day or two.
Invisible illness and insecurity about interval intensity.

Every time I start to climb out of the hole
Archons pull me back at the speed of light
toward the abysmal memory foam at the bottom.
Some frolicking genie tramples on my fingertips
on their way to grant a wish to someone more deserving.

Miny things are very cool to me
I love looking at how strange it is sometimes
Could i use all my money to get microscopic things
Right, but it cost money
Only downside is i would be in crippling debt
So in order to not go into debt i have to... – by Alex Popescu | added by amyp.61147

A fair heart once found
In a place of darkness and fear
Sought a peace
That could only come from love
A fair heart once hurt
From a lover's betrayal
Sought to hurt
That would only ease his own pain
A fair heart once broken
From a... – by Kristy Evans | added by Kfoxy1411

I haven’t figured you out just yet, Whether you are harmless or a threat.
You always have to be in control and it has definitely taken its toll.
I have no choice but to do it and the same way each time, to do it differently just feels like a... – by Tonya Richardson | added by Athomentexas2002

A familiar, suffocating mass of uneventfulness drastically overwhelms everything. It's chewy, stretchy, and chewy, which sticks everywhere. Compromising betrayal is already rotting on the creaky donkey ladders of careers. Visceral career desires... – by Norbert Tasev | added by oasev

All the hate they gave me
Made it so easy to give in return
How I truly felt inside
Was not a main concern
To me or to them
The hate grew on
Anger in my heart so strong
Knowing I was not where I belong
So blind to who I truly am

"Do you have a family?"
I asked him,
The man by the lake.
"I had a father,"
He answered, in his usual monotone.
"Alexander."
"Why do you call him by his first name?"
I asked him.
"He adopted me,"
He answered.
I did not ask anymore... – by Kristopher Spear | added by kris.spear

The stream of glass.
I see dreams of you and your blue eyes too, and streams of glass. This cannot last. Then I see a ring of gold that can't be sold and daffodils on a lilac hill. I think to myself, I will give her a whirl! I see your golden... – by A J C | added by alanswansea18

At the tower, midnight glare of an NVG in a distant stare,
Smell of cigarette smoke in the desert breeze we share,
Posted for a little while chatting up while listening,
Handling a browning that hits like a gavel rapting,
Unknown bogie, quick... – by Mushu | added by anonymous

As a writer of nonfiction.
With a taking of poetic liberties.
Taking what I observe to see.
Seldom do I express an opinion.
Given thoughtlessly.
And I must admit,
There are times I could use fiction.
But...
In these tumultuous days we live... – by Lawrence S. Pertillar | added by lpahtillah
