Building Simplicity
You know,
I wonder at the world,
That it can be so complex,
Yet, i feel that the simplest things are the most important.
We go through our lives, searching for things.
For some it is love,
For some it is glory,
For some it is survival.
Love, glory, survival…
Isn’t it simple enough?
Happiness and love seem to go hand in hand
The two lovers, [...]

The Routine
The buzzing fills my ears.
“Why me?!
Already?!
Why now?!
Can’t it just be a drunk dialer at two a.m.?!
Please?!”
“No way, jose.
Wake up, girl, wake up.
Start your day
Classes in an hour, you’ve got to get in the shower.”
“The shower?
No. It’s too cold outside my covers.
Too cold.”
Curl up,
Roll over.
“More sleep.”
“GOD DAMN GIRL!
Things to do, places to go.”
“Alright, alright,
I’m up,
Now what?”
Right, [...]

spit it out
I’ve got this feeling
that you don’t know the truth.
And I guess
your ignorance is bliss for us both.
I go on in this way…
each day waking to the wish that some “dream” may come true
the dream of a you
and a me
in a we.
This dream, I half-ass it’s completion,
cut the we in half,
and there’s a you,
and this two [...]

Secrets.
The world is run by secrets.
Tiny, little, good-for-nothing secrets.
White Lies
Broken Promises.
Forever is a day, eternity is a month.
A year must be infinite, by these standards.
But
Time is a lie,
A secret untold.
Promise me never again,
And then let it happen repetitiously.
And
I’ll promise an eternity,
but I’ll only stay a night.
Little White Lies,
Broken Promises.
shhhhhhhh…
keep your mouth shut,
they don’t need to [...]

what about them?
We sit back, kick our feet up,
staring
at their trials.
Saying, “too bad, so sad…”
make movies while they suffer,
drink a Bud while they starve,
laugh while they have no liquid in their body to drop a tear.
We fight for the rights of the unborn,
worry about the cure for cancer,
when all they want is just one more day to [...]

I knOw/knEw/lovE/lovED you
IN and OUT.
i know you
IN the rough times,
when you’re OUT cold,
IN sickness and IN health,
when you’re down and OUT.
I know you.
I knew you.
I love you.
I mean,
I loved you.
but not now.
I knew you.
IN and OUT
IN my life, through memories,
OUT, now, by choice.
IN sickness, alone,
who’s OUT of luck?
Stuck IN the past,
Feeling all left OUT.
I know you.
I knew [...]

my room.
This Place is Empty.
I keep trying To fill The Void With Music And Movement.
Loud, Screaming “Emo” Lyrics fill This Space,
But it’s Still So Damn Empty.
It’s Spotless.
I cleaned nearly Every Inch of It.
The Floors are moped,
The Carpets vacuumed,
And The Shelves dusted.
The Refridgerator is Full,
To The Brink.
I cooked Two Very Delicious Meals,
Cookies As Well.
I wore A Goddamn [...]

Life’s winner & loser
Waiting to win in this game that we’re playing
I’m in a constant state of competition.
The comparative narrations in my head,
Saying:
I’m an intellect,
I’m strong,
And I’m independent.
And you are absolutely none of those things
I made the right choices,
You haven’t…
Or have you?
Because if you don’t feel this thing I’m feeling…
Then you’ve already won.
This gnawing at my insides,
The [...]

butter, flour and spices of sorts thrown into a bowl. They are beat down by metal whips, into a mush of dough.
they’ve lost their independence.
The baker, however, is very independent.
She is standing alone, in a spotless kitchen, overlooking a romantic room just an arm’s length away.
She’s alone and independent by choice, i suppose, having blown [...]

no title, not a poem…
I’m not posting anymore of the Frustrated, Inc. for a while… I just don’t feel like it anymore, plus i don’t think it’s really all that great.
