I'm not very interesting. These are just a few of my poems.

unyielding

What i've woven hardly matters.
With my tapestry in tatters.
Lay in place adorned with shadow.
Await that sunlit meadow.
But the harvest cannot grow,
Without one to make it...

Twisted tongue

Melancholy melody of mania and madness.
Ceaseless Swan song a symphony of sadness.
Counter to composure comes cacophony of chorus.
Oscillating operatic overture of...

I know she doesn't love me.
She visits everyone.
When its looking bright.
She'll shade me from the sun.
She is all I've got.
Probably my best friend.
Though she isn't real.
I like to pretend
It's a sense of duty.
Much less out of care.

I say to le "grand fromage".
You and your pastiche attachè.
You with all your rakish, cliche.
You think you're so Debonair.
You with another au pair.
You and one more rendezvous.
You again it's déjà vu.
You and another faux pas.
You always...

Cut it apart

Disjointed, dissection.
Like that which came before.

Dissection like that which,
came before disjointed.

Like that which disjointed,
dissection came before.

Like that which came before.
Dissection,...

Sounds like you're describing a psychopath. They're certainly troubling and somewhat of a conundrum, fun to argue with though.

That build up was awesome! I could feel the brutality, I actually thought you might be genuinely angry.

"Obliterating the mere idea of rebellion" that line, I liked it all but that line was extra spiteful.

It's mainly the second line that requires a bit of mental gymnastics but I made sure to look up the exact meanings of the couple things I was unsure on. As for the hat It was a nice beret, far better than a berating. Thank you.

I'm glad you felt something from it. Music is always there and has helped me a lot. My poetry style is probably more lyrical because of the influence music has had on me.

It's kind of hard not to be cynical in this world. I'm guessing you don't mean the necessities like food, water etc. More things like meaningful relationships, love, possibly pragmatic pursuits. Your poem is a bit dark, I like it.

Thank you. I took a bit of poetic licence on that last line.

I meant to reply but accidentally commented. I'm a bit of a scatterbrain sometimes.

do you believe you're Jesus or the Antichrist? I'm just asking, if you'd rather not say that's totally fine.

Sorry if it came across as though I were challenging you. I'm just used to people not questioning things too much or if they do "get it", they don't care. I suspect I know a few people with such a condition just due to the horrors they've faced in their lives (mainly as children) they certainly have some heavy stuff that does affect them rolling around in their heads and it's quite sad a lot of the time for many reasons (mainly because it's nothing they chose).

Asbestos! Those bastards! They would have known by then. Absolutely despicable the way they dishonour a persons sense of duty. It in no way equates to being deemed expendable. Are you serious that you can't sue? I might be wrong but I don't think they can get away with that sort of thing here. You guys need to get rid of the people in power there. They're rotten.
I'll be here for you if you need man.

Thank you. I'm slowly getting there. Ultimately I do want her to be happy and I want to be happy too. As long as she finds someone that treats her with respect (unlike the guy she replaced me with). Aside from that, I don't want to give up on finding love.

I'm gonna put this bluntly. no government anywhere gives a fuck about the people. They'll do the bare minimum to keep the hoards off their doorstep. Hmm interesting I had a feeling you may be on that spectrum. From what I've seen of American Drs, can you just go into a clinic and ask to be prescribed something? Like how celebrities can just deprive the rest of the world of ozempic to loose weight, when diabetics are in desperate need?

Anxiety can do that its actually a pretty complicated disorder.
I was diagnosed for years and never actually looked into all the symptoms, til a couple years ago.
Hopefully that's all it is, small mercy I know but better than a cardiac arrest.

Ozzie is probably single handedly responsible for any given new manufacturing facility.
