My beauty is not beauty enough for I am not as pretty as my other friends.

My beauty is not beauty enough because men do not tend to notice me.

My beauty is not beauty enough for I have never been one to understand compliments.

    My beauty is not beauty enough.

I have never been beautiful.

-Melanie Munoz
Felt insecure and wanted it to stop.
Never meant to be
with him
and ended up with him
Never ending up
with you
and meant to be with you

* (or irony)
It blew in off the sea

It went out on a limb

And broke the olive branch

Do you hear the wind through the hair of revolution

--black raven hair--

Bone straight and frayed

The split ends of society forging separate paths

Progression at their tips, regression in their roots

It makes a sound akin to the back of an old haunted house settling

It wandered here in due season

It's about to be cut short

It's about to be swept away
My son didn't like reading,
I had to stay with him and make him read his library books,
I would buy exciting adventure and mystery books for him,
He said reading was boring,
He preferred playing outdoors,
Or playing pranks.
He moved into his teens,
Still no joy in reading,
Teenagers love romance,
So I bought him a pack of "Mills and Boons" books,
That got him into reading.

Oh, Moon vine,
Always sleeping where you bud.
I knew you couldn't wake,
Too lost in your fantasy's of pallid dittany's.

Do you wish to be stirred one day,
Or would you prefer to dream forever?
To chase the void in longing disparity,
To live in your own mind eternally?

When you wilt do you think, Moon vine,
You'll keep dreaming?
Up for interpretation, I'd love to hear how you personally see this poem, no wrong answers

I felt a funeral
between the timid breaths
of ruination, we plucked
to death the melancholic florals
called time flowers,
translucent growths
with crystal hearts,
gifted them to someone else's children,
placed them around the waist
of everyone else's wives.

When plucked,
that crystal core dissolves,
emitting the light trapped within.
perpetual splendor or
the endless cycles of death?
do the normal rules
of chronology apply?

Look now! here comes
the great unwashed riot,
we live in an age of visual saturation,
where tragedy and beautiful
distractions crowd in on all sides,
clamoring for our attention.

Perhaps the dystopian premise
is part of a fiendish plan,
becoming the backdrop
to a fluttering cornucopia
of florals, each outfit paraded
in the beginning of May,
a blooming display of finery
hiding a complex
network of roots –
sponsorship deals,
brand calculations,
dedicated craftsmanship,
exposure opportunities
– beneath its pretty skirts.

Do you feel my PAIN??
And YEAH I got a LOT OF IT!!
HAPPINESS is what I LACK,
I'm hurting EMOTIONALLY,
I MUST ADMIT.
YOU SAY YOU KNOW
HOW I FEEL!!!
And I call out,

Like a CAR FLYING 105MPH,
My FEELINGS just got HIT!!
I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND SO HARSH
JUST EXPRESSING
HOW I FEEL!!!
PAIN HAS WEASLED
ITS UGLY LITTLE HEAD,
WRITING IS MY ONLY WAY
TO DEAL!!
LIKE A LOCOMITIVE MAKING
AN IMPACT TO MY SOUL!!

A POWERFUL BLOW!!!
I'm not just SAD,
I'M NOT JUST HAPPY,
A MIND FULL OF
EMOTIONS GOT ME
FEELING SO ******,

DEALING WITH THIS PAIN MAKES ME FEEL SO UNHAPPY!!
I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL
HAPPY, SAD

I'm DEALING with DEPRESSION,
because of LIFE'S ACTIONS,
This is a FULL COURSE LESSON
I'm LEARNING from this TEMPORAL PAIN!!
A LONG and DRAWN out SESSION!!

I enjoy WRITING POETRY because, I just do,
My WRITINGS HELP OTHERS, but
also HELPS ME TOO,
when I feel DOWN and OUT,
or GOING THROUGH,
FEELING SAD and SO LONELY and
feeling SO, SO BLUE,
Do you feel the same way??
I know that you do,
I've been in your shoes, and
I DO HAVE A CLUE.
But It'll okay, there's NO NEED for SORROW
JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER:
there's a BETTER TOMORROW,
JESUS is the ONE,
who will MAKE A WAY,
Turn your DARKENED NIGHTS,
into a BRIGHTER DAY,
Just live by HIS GRACE,
even with SKIES OF GRAY,
Just TRUST IN HIM and
CONTINUE to PRAY!!

The DREAMER that DREAMS, and
that likes to EXPLORE,
INSPIRATION of IMAGINATIONS,
as to an EAGLE THAT SOARS,
The VISIONARY CAN IMAGINE
WHAT IS IN STORE
of the FUTURISTIC THINGS, and
so MUCH MORE
They SIT and they WONDER,
what is to become,
as they continue to IMAGINE,
What is UNDER THE SUN,
Hoping ONE DAY,
as well as it SEEMS,
Their VISIONS would COME TRUE
for ALL TO SEE!!!!
