Have you ever popped a bubble and it ended up being a dud bubble?
Well sometimes I have dud bubbles too..
Certain parts of me
I don't like to make noise about
As I go quiet
While other times,
I will wake the dead with my yodeling
For confidence is rare
OKE ONE MORE PART YALL THIS WAS A SPEECH I WROTE FOR A PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS

Now there is a thing called
"left and right side brain" dominance
Left side being an organized filter of OCD,
And the right side being very scattered and street smart
But I am 100% completely 50% of each side of the brain exactly
with certain times in my life
I am very OCD
hence the perfect placement of the bubble open the sheet of bubble rap
But with life,
I want to be an event planner,
lawyer,
book writer,
airplane attendant,
anything special
hence the way this bubble wrap has many uses
I do take it as my purpose in life to protect and care for others
So throw me around,
put me in a box,
step on me,
wether im here for your amusement or for comforting reasons,
I'll take great pride in being used by you
For that is how my anxiety has consumed me
I. Am. Bubble wrap.
Yay, I'm finished. I care about you. DM me anytime. Xoxo-Jane

It started with a goodbye.
It started with me wrapping up my past
in bubblewrap, as if it was fragile.
It was really so that its sharp edges would be
unable to hurt me anymore.
I decided it was better to leave it inside
my bedside table, next to the pictures and the letters.
Not to pack it in a suitcase
and bring it with me on my many travels.
But it refused to leave my side,
it followed me, like a paper plane
guided by my insecurities.
Like I was a holding up a neon sign that read
STILL HOLDING ON.
Perhaps it was a sign that I was to carry it with me
to all the places I hadn't been but longed to see.
People asked me about the big monster
that hunkered down beside me.
But how could I tell them that
I was caught up in something
I'd promised to leave behind?
How it has consumed my mind
my body, my very soul.
How it threatened to rip a hole
in the very future I was trying to protect.
Maybe I'm exaggerating
Maybe the time I spent hating every part of me
wasn't very long at all.
But it felt like an eternity
the summer, winter and fall.
Finally, spring arrived
With hopeful eyes and a big bright smile.
I shook myself awake from what was
starting to feel like a neverending nightmare,
A rabbit hole that wasn't taking me to Wonderland
I started to understand that I couldn't go on like this.
I took a hit or miss dive into the future,
And like a magician, unlocked the weights at my ankles.
Once at the shore, I looked at my past as it drowned
unwanted and forgotten,
And I realised I was no more a crinkled mess.
With wrinkled fingertips at the end of my hand,
I held up a mirror to my freshly washed face.
I smiled, digging my toes into the sand.
It ended with a hello.
it's more of a ramble, really. I hope you enjoy. Depression is tough, but you are tougher. **

lately, it seems when you call you speak you mind,
motion to hang up before i can even consider mine.
do i exist simply as a gateway for you to speak?

my lover leaves me lonely,
my best friend soon to be alone on a plane
back home to me; tape him up in bubblewrap
beg him never to leave

so much time is spent in this room
isolated enough to warrant yellow paper
still, the textured white walls seem sentimental
they do not feel as big as the bed

it is so lonely without you, darling
but even when you are here,
it remains so empty
i reach for you in the night.

try as i may, even when you linger
you are so far, my darling,
too far to reach; too far to hold.

and i find you only see me once i turn away.
is it my eyes that alarm you, so full of emotion?
or do you want me just close enough for warmth,
but not close enough to listen to?

the broken furniture holds your motion,
still are the shadows that hold your shape,
and i cling to the pillow that isn't quite your length
but it will let me hold it; it will let me love

i picture you in the shower,
borrowing shampoo, speaking of coconut cream
and my dreams are only tinted memories
are you leaving me in the chill of the air conditioning?

perhaps i'll never know until you finally close the door;
the season has only just begun, my darling
there are so many half hours still to yearn for you;
i'll be quiet and laugh at your commentary until the credits roll

i'll quietly await the sudden goodbye.
distance is a feeling; not a measurement.

If I had a dollar for every poem I wrote....

I'd have like a billion dollars

Because I would just write a program
that spits out random words and phrases

Then someone would tell me that they're
only going to pay me 50 cents per poem
if I'm going to be like that.

I'd be like "Whatever, dude...that's still half a billion dollars"

Can't be greedy, you know.

Then they'd try to pass some sort of law defining what a poem
can and can't be, spending millions of tax-payer dollars to stop
me from writing poems like this:

SHITAKE DUCK FOOTBALL
magnifying glass eats adolph ******
can I be valentine bubblewrap
I think so maybe
I peanut butter 1975 Yankees
Did you ****?
Robocop.

The judge would rule in my favor.  That would really ****
off the poor saps that had to pay me for my poems.


Doesn't really matter though....





No one pays me for this ****.
“Engulfed in bubblewrap
Oh, he's a fragile gift
A colorless soul, some would say

For anyone could colour it
Most would paint over the lines
Some would never even reach the delicate corners

I know of one fine artist that could paint him
Her fine fingers formed with delicacy
For only she could grace him with panache

Regrettably, their paths would never cross
As she is engulfed in bubblewrap too,
And lives in a separate box” — Demi.M Potts
Pins that ***** the night and the slight sounds that I hear,
more fears to **** the marrow from my bones.
Underneath my bed
the dead appear, another fear.
My life.

Morning comes to comfort me
the sun will rise.
'Mine eyes have see the glory'
but that's another story
and I'm bored.

Luckily, there's stored in me a
compendium of history.

The pins still *****,
I still feel sick, each time
night draws its blind on me.
I wish it would be kind to me and
somewhere in my history
it was.
Marilyn Woods Jun 2014
I am the shaken Pepsi
not quite the dripping counter,
my bubblewrap not pierced by your hate
unable to decide between feelings of sanity and laughter.

Not conquered, as you believe,
high heavens from my pedestal I see
not taken by a spinning head or
dilated pupil, Jesus still stands by me.

Your reality is bleak
pixel perfect as the static clears,
white veil lifted, revealing satin lips,
the smallest attraction, uncovers your fears.

Don't fly your flag of purity quite yet
inconsistent of an angel,
feathers in your back
my own cuts bandaged by cello tape
and paint covers my cracks.

For there are too many wasted years with discarded binoculars,
discarded lovers, discarded lives.
love, pain, relationships,

Sometimes it's hard to know what is
What should....and why?
And is there any point........or not?
We're born, we live, we die.
And in between we our noses run, we bite our tongues, we lie
We lose our place, we turn our face, we buy.
There's love and mud and bubblewrap
Dropped spoons, old tunes and bills.
***** boots and plastic crap,
What doesn't make you strong just kills.
Here come
pairs   of   legs
   riddled with cellulite
   accents
     stuff the air
Neuwcassul
   Burmingum
stores     reek
of cheap   tat
   bargain   last-few-quid   items
Irish music
no-one gives a     jig     about
    Mr. Whippy's
for sale every seven/six
   make that     five     cafés
women   packed
   like bubblewrap
     into denim shorts
     middle-aged men
plagued with     tattoos
   Irn Bru tans

back at the chalet
     kids thwack
   plastic     *****
with plastic racquets
   next-door neighbours
   puff on their nineteenth
*** before midday
come   night
karaoke floods towards us
   like a murky tsunami
don't stop believin'
     hold   on   to   that   feelin'

but the   girl
in the museum
   had a ponytail
   another one
dipped in gold
   like a fancy chess piece
and I walk   around
in a   Norwich   shirt
lick sea-breeze
     and know
   this isn't
home

Clients loose time waiting for around the world current internet and web-based solutions that are included in this, it is increasingly simple in order to connect with your unfamiliar target readers. Time to expand your United kingdom primarily based organization! The world becomes the oyster along with some study as well as expenditure.

You can find established companies or perhaps on line "marketplaces" that end users can certainly sign up to. They're simple and easy and useful internet commerce internet sites the place trades usually are monitored by the industry user, nonetheless goods and explanations are given simply by alternative party sellers: men and women for instance all by yourself.

Sites for instance Etsy, ASOS in addition to Amazon online marketplace are available for all for their fee. You are able to customise the appearance of your internet shop using useful information, art logos and also product photographs.

Producing Your Shop Be noticeable

There are several aspects which often can impact buyer have confidence in the retail outlet and also product or service presenting. A pair of these are typically looks and duplicate therefore it's absolutely vital to receive most appropriate.

Make sure your pictures straight reflect that the item appears to be like in truth. Bring photographs via many attitudes inside natural light without having interference from your display along with producing insights.

For additional dependability, be sure that the historical past is obviously a similar. Provided you can, enrol help from any professional photographer.

Backup is definitely a effective moderate which to draw clients. Retailer entrepreneurs normally miscalculate the necessity of the following consequently do not have the identical oversight.

Always be detailed however creative inside your copywriting. Keep away from extreme adjectives which don't have coherent meaning. Showcase the options of every product or service.

Postage and Packaging

In great britain, there is the number of applying Royal Mail companies and also practitioner package supply companies such as Lot Force and also Plot of land Goof. Perform a little research on would you the best deals about throughout the world lot distribution. Many organizations might be specialist throughout Western shipping while some will provide even more afield.

Rather then transmitting an item engrossed in bubblewrap and trapped right generic package, do a couple of something more interesting to go out of an impression on your buyers.

At least impress a person's brand on your own product packaging. Whenever you can find a way to, it is equally great to present shoppers a little extra to mention thank you their customized. For me personally finalized appreciate it charge cards can be a great action and do not be expensive. Classic postcards recieve treatment an indulgence, nonetheless pick something which goes very well using the merchandise.

Getting the news out

Even though you should expect many visitors find your current webpage through users looking for specific products, if you are looking to truly obtain a term for yourself to foreign countries, you'll want to do some promoting and public relations.

Make use of social network to your advantage. This can be no cost all things considered! Build shop single profiles with well-liked social support systems as well as attempt to build relationships with persons, and offer these folks reasons to purchase from you actually. Contests are very effective on line. Provide victors an exceptional coupon code to go into on check out, as an example.

For additional means of getting the news out, consequently by way of social media or even community media inside the nations around the world of great interest, get the help of creative organizations that specialises in a collection of services coming from Pagerank Scotland in order to marketing and advertising inside China. Understanding of search engine optimization would likely often be very useful.

No amount of showers in the world could rid me of the feeling of not

belonging, feeling out of place, wanting to disappear into the

wallpaper.

Wanting to wrap myself up in bubble wrap to protect my heart from

the comments and stares and courtesy smiles.

But he tells me its okay to unwrap my raw, bruised heart.

He tells me that I do belong,

I fit into this place just as well as anyone.

Despite the screaming voices in my head I continue to shower and

unwrap my heart.

I am scared but that doesn't mean I won't try.

It’s been a year
And I still don’t know how to feel.
Sometimes I feel elated.
Out of all the girls,
All the plums,
I was the ripest, the juiciest.
I spread across his tongue
As a smile spread across his lips.

Sometimes I feel empty.
Like he had
Taken away a part of me.
A certain innocence
So rare, so valuable, so hidden
Not even the best criminals
Could steal it back.

Sometimes I feel fragile.
My bones replaced by porcelain.
They forgot to wrap me
In bubblewrap.
They forgot the
Handle with care sign.
I shattered at his feet.
I crunched under his boots.

Sometimes I feel depressed.
Any light I had
Has darkened.
Any fire has
Been snuffed out.
I am nothing more than smoke.

Sometimes I feel tired.
Like it takes too much energy to live.
I’m not strong enough
To live.
To push through.
My organs are too heavy.
I am too heavy.

Sometimes I feel happy.
When I forget about that night.
When I forget about the bedroom floor.
The popcorn bowl.
The army of whispers
Assaulting my ears.
When I’m alone with a book
Full of poems.
When I shed this skin,
The one with burn marks and
Moth holes,
I’m happy.

this frozen shore     calls me tourist               
followed by money grubber and whoremonger
  then reckless looter and polluter
names me hazard   and spits on me
it squeaks and whines                                                    
pops bubblewrap   and grinds polystyrene
jarring and wincing my ears
nature has called me out                                                
it fires at me                                  
                      with a list of my species crimes
the pudding's in the proof
and i'm left simply unable to be a recluse
in the company of
                              this frozen winter shore
[original
this frozen shore calls me a ***** / names me and spits on me / nature calls me and fires at me / with the list of my species crimes / i'm left simply unable to enjoy  / this frozen winter shore

The truncated puzzle:::

Her tongue’s truncheon sits solid
at the ready (to respond)
Her coarse heart,
pumps deftly in defiance of a mind’s eye



She is the gracile figurine

The bubblewrap warms her steady
She is porcelain smoke in a midnight room
In defiance of
any fingerprint (cryout)
... oh that visage!!!
... oh obfuscated view!!!

You must
Feign surprise when i can see right through an image of you reflected in glass


wide-eyed, unwatered and
               ::unmoved::
Her Limbal Ring, diamond stone display
still she is unsatisfied

another inward, in-word retreat.
for her braille heart       untouched

forever she fears punctuation

Endings.
auspicious audit
... of her fear
... of that truth

I guess for her it’s the thought of losing     

...hope
What makes me so mad about it
is the being sad around it,

(thinks inside the bubblewrap)

it's like music where melodies go, there
but for memories and that would be fine.

Time being finite is not alright
and
we were conned from the start
there are
only so many beats allocated to
each heart,

am I banging a drum, beating the blood from my gums, are you listening out there, do you even care that the man in black only loaned you out and he's on his way to take you back?

There is no fair about it and that's what makes me so mad about it and sad around it.

this is like God playing bingo, four corners, a line
and your time is done
no fun in the fair here
this is a very queer place to be,
but for the memory
that would be fine.

the epilogue empties, the arc has flatlined, a judge now speaks

“your sentence is to be a windy day Eternal Tether, neither holding nor held”

This breeze. Those wind gust.
Foil flips, sunlight bouncing as it spins at sunrise... the trash is gaining traction now

you get the icons you are worthy of
and your children are sentenced to bow to  plastic pariahs repurposed as heroes

pray away the bad man, and bubblewrap the rest. do you recall that innocence girl?

it emptied from you, quivering, as a smile stole the corners of your mouth.
Truths unchanging eventually become a lie... a man complacent, is eternally tangential
Her teeth shone, whitened by commercial paste, but no whiter than the briefs she wore,
eyes that closed too many deals and before the ink was dry
closed several more.

To tell me is to make me and
if I make a new strategy
you will see that
then not tell me,
so my strategy
is silence

But I keep a knife in bubblewrap to cut the crap
you feed me then I find it's me that needs you
and that you don't give a ****.

Yes
I read you in the ***** mags

old men smoking older ****
with chins that sag and cheeks
that droop
those
eyes that snoop across the
counter of the local shops
where
nothing stops the business
of the day.

— The End —
