We remember the exception
Not the rule
Despite all the good things
And all the kind people
It’s the one asshole
That sticks in our memory.

Mr. Yum
Oh, you fickle flirt
You made me feel good
With your sexy words
But only in passingMy teenage reaction
To your digital visage
Left me wanting more
I want to eat you upBut I guess I’m too bold
Scaring away the skittish
With my forward demand
To see you in personIn this shallow pond
You may be a catfish
A sexy illusion
But my hunger is realI’m not up for the game
Virtual affection can’t satisfy
Must have my cake
And eat it tooI suppose that’s my purpose
If you’re not bold enough
To stand beside me
Then best you run now.

First moves
There is no pine in me
I do not wait around
For the move of another
I surge forward
And fail where I mayYearning seems futile
Why not ask the question
True answers dont falter
And I’d rather stand alone
Than not be wantedThere is little tact in me
I corageously blunder
Blurt out my intent
Let the awkward sprout
See what will bloomOften I am rejected
This is a game of many losses
One you can’t win unless you play
So I keep failing
So I keep tryingI won’t know the answer
Without asking the question
I fear the silence
More than rejection
So in askDo you want me?

Reality is sexy
Mystery doesn’t do it for me
Fantasy and role play are so banal
You know what’s really rare?
The vulnerable truthI never did get grown up games
Why we put on a mask
To capture a mate
It’s such a fruitless pursuitReality seeps in eventually
And there’s always a loser
When the one you want
Isn’t the one you haveYou know what gets me wet?
When my parter opens up
When they show what’s real
When I see their exposed bellyThere are a million reason
Two people might not match
Why make it harder
With lies and obfuscationSo…I’m gonna be the real me
And keep sorting through the fakers
Hoping to find a sweet and real guy
who’ll share his warm vulnerable heart.

No one's punching bag
Words hurt
Like thinly sliced wounds
Like a punch to the gut
Like an unexpected slapIt may be surface
My analogies of pain
But words wounds linger
They are slow to healI don’t deserve those words
The subtle little stabs
The mean biting jabs
The outright ridiculeI didn’t enter into
A loving relatinship
For the mean spirited banter
Who would make that a goal?I want the sweet words
The kind expression
The gentle forgiving
The abject understandingI am no one’s punching bag
I refuse to launder your frustration
I will not accept your ridicule
It’s not my job to suffer youIf that’s too much to ask
I cometely understand
I can move on
You can go to hell.

Not normal love
Social discomfort
Mixed with arrousal
Uncertain and akward
Primal courtship beginsBlood rushes downward
Depriving the brain
Flushing nether regions
Urging actionDesire pushes foward
Indecisive movements
Animalistic urges
Push past anxietyBodies combined
There is no thought
There is no worry
There is only usNaked and spent
Aware of the pleaure
Satisfaction derrived
From not normal love.

What I deserve
I deserve to be loved
Publically and openly
I am no one’s secret
Refuse to be anyones shameI deserve to be adored
Not because I’m the ideal
But because I openly adore
The people I loveI deserve to feel secure
To know I am not alone
Not to doubt I am wanted
Or to wonder where I standI dont deserve to be compared
To someone that came before
Or to an ideal that doesn’t exist
There is no one like meMaybe I’m not perfect
Maybe we are not perfect
Maybe I want us to be happy
With our imperfect togetherI deserve to be the one
Because I AM the one right now
There won’t be better
Until I’m gone.

End of girlish fantasy
Girls are taught to yearn for a prince
A man to sweep us off our feet
To take us to their priveledged worldI overheard this priveledged man
Argue against government assistance
Argue that poverty is a personality deficitI listened as he dismissed the poor
As his friends agreed on our lesser worth
I felt impotent in the reality of this princeMy girlish fantasies cracked
Shatter like a looking glass
Under the weight of his wordsI’m of the impoverished masses
A pesant born and bred
And I refuse to be seen as lesserMy mundane troubles define me
I can’t imagine loving someone
That doesnt understand the sameAnd, let me not forget,
I’m a woman of feminist ideology
Who isnt looking to be rescuedReality is a harsh mistress
It doesn’t alow us childish games
It took away my fantasyFuck the prince and his worldview
I don’t need shelter or rescue
…even if I idly miss the idea of it.

Fucking like teenagers
Dry humping on my bed
Mom’s in the next room
This memory flashes
In a meeting at workI fit around you like a glove
Tight and warm and eager
I’m desperate for your touch
At the most inappropriate timesWe’re full grown
You might even say old
But I feel like a hormonal teen
The moment we’re aloneOn my drive to work
I smile like the Cheshire cat
Images of the night before
Make me wet and squirmCan’t wait to see you again
Your smell, your taste, your touch
They haunt me deliciously
I lust after my sexy boyDistracting me at work
Inspiring me when we’re apart
You make me feel like a teenager
I can’t wait for the next episode.

Its okay not to like me
“You try so hard to be liked”
I’ve heard this before
A passing observation
Usually given without mallace
But with an undertone of judgementTranslation: “Stop carring what others think”
The funny thing is I don’t
I expect that people don’t like me
I’m a wierd girl in a nomalized world
I don’t have a problem with liking myself
But I’m realistic about others perceptionFrom an early age I was loved
Mother reinforced my self-worth
I am priveledged with self-esteem
My self-love is close to narcissism
How is it that people don’t see that?I think what they see is that I’m nice
They hear me passing love around
Because love is easy for me
I’m not looking for external self worth
I’m looking for external acceptanceDoes this mean I care what others think?
Of course! Who doesnt! I’m curious.
Does this mean I will change for others?
Not for strangers. Not for aquaintaces.
But relationships require compromiseI care what the people I love think
I want to know they accept me
I don’t want to do things that hurt them
And I can change minor parts of myself
I’m open to conpromise and negotiationI suppose some of what I do
Is try to give external self worth
Which is kinda silly, I know
I can’t make someone love themself
If you must judge, aim for this futilityDont mistake me, I dont I like everyone
I’m choosy about who I share myself with
I don’t think everyone can be my friend
I don’t WANT that many friends
I just want the people I love to feel lovedI smile at at strangers so they’ll smile
But I don’t waste more than a smile
I consider my attention valuable
Investement of my true self is rare
I “try hard” with the ones I “truly love.”

Time shrinks scars
Some wounds stay with us
We carry them around
Covered by scar tissue
To show the battles survivedSometimes those scars ache
Touch the skin near and we cry
Seems like we’ll never stop hurting
But time makes scars shrink
The pain is less intense
The longer we surviveSometimes a loving touch
Can inflame the scar
Even worse than a bump or slap
But if we can push through the pain
If we can focus on the caress
Joy can speed our healing.

It either is or it isn't
If the feeling is there
You don’t have to wait
There is no learning
It either is or it isn’tI’m nobody’s placeholder
I value myself too much
To cling to something that isn’t
Done there, been thatI will work on us
When the work is not alone
But I won’t adapt
when I’m the only oneYou could be my king
I’d make you feel loved
Appreciate you everyday
If you’d do the same for meOne sided love
Is never gonna work
The song sings true
No more explination needed.

Delirious
You’ve infected my brain
A sickness I court
I feel my tempature rise
A pleasurable deliriumFlashbacks of our intimacy
Strike me in mundane moments
Is this fantasy my reality?
Is this love my hallucination?I care little of my condition
The symptoms become comfort
When we are apart
You are within mePassing time
Awaiting my next exposure
There is no remission
I wish no cure.

Love crazy
A single point
Focus severe
Tension immense
Feelings so dearTwisted up
urging release
Wanton abandon
Falling deepParalized
Sinking slowly
Still acceptance
Accepting defeatThis is love
I hate it.

Aftershocks
You are on me
Lingering in me
A delectable ache
A muscle memoryNerves echoing
Vibrating aftershock
The faults of my body
Still in a quakeMy nose knows
Our skin infused
Your scent and mine
An aura lingeringThe rich flavor of us
Desert of pleasure
The taste and texture
fresh in my mindI feel addicted
Yearning for a fix
Your sex is my drug
I’m a junkie for you love.
-
Sexy boy…
I crave you
Soft cream of your skin
Against my eager fingertips
Rough prickle of your scruff
Tickling my tender skin
Gentle weight of your body
Hovering above mine
Firm seek of your cock
Traveling to my warm core
Suddenly you are everything
Thrusting, pounding, encompasing
There is only feel
Our sex is estaticI am wet at the thought
And yearn for the reality
I crave you.

Nose don't knows
I do not smell
At least not well
My olfactory sense
Is impededMy nose is inert
It doesn’t work
Unless the stink
Is quite pungentIt tickles and twitches
When the air is dusted
It drips dew drops
A trail of clear snotI do not smell
This noses impaired
A failed organ
Sitten on my noggin.

Dr. Doctor
Bake me a man
A kind gentle soul
Who doesn’t depend
On what the rest knowSpin me a lady
A sweet gentle soul
That sees deep into me
Feels what I knowSo much education
Priveledge of health
How they miss me
Blinded by themselfDr. Doctor
Listens selectively
Sees only the obvious
Compartmentalizes neatlyScience knows what it knows
I don’t doubt the facts
But in practice science isn’t caring
only a person can do thatMaybe I need more than a doctor
Maybe I need someone to hear
Maybe I want someone to trust
To share this unhealth I bear.

Hysterical
Boys call us crazy
Men doubt our veracity
Doctors send us to therapy
Secretly, they think we lieEver evolving emotions
Taken as inconcistancy
We must not know ourselves
If our feelings can changeLadies don’t challenge the norm
Don’t question the authority
They think they know us better
Than we know ourselvesSo I don’t trust them
Because I trust myself
If this is my hysteria
I define it, I defy them.

Want a Partner
I don’t need to be saved
I refuse to serve
If I had my way
I’d stand besideRaised by women
I know feminine power
Didn’t realize the divide
Until I dated menI am not a concubine
Or a doting mother
But I am feminine
A confident womanWe can save each other
We can take turns as slave
Let love reflect respect
Let man be equal with woman.

Love makes me crazy
Sure, I have a type
Short busty brunet girls
Tall lanky blond boys
But the ones I want
don’t want meIm not a pretty girl
I don’t excel socially
Not slutty enough
To have indiscriminate sex
Not moral enough
To bow down in submissionBut, you know,
Attraction isn’t neccisary
For sex or companionship
You don’t have to be pretty
To feel comfort, to feel pleasure
You just need someone that caresI dream of a comforting relationship
With someone I share interests
And can talk to freelyI dream of someone
Loving who I am
Not what they seeOne sided love makes me crazy
Literally mentally unstable
I’d rather skip the crazy
And wish for peace instead

Trying not to engage
There is no win
No approval to be had
So often you’re wrong
Which you rarely admitI think this is about you
You’re mad at yourself
And I’m just present
For your rampant disapprovalWhy do I care?
You’re anger is so silly
So useless in its purpose
It’s not like it improves youExcept I am present
And aware of your ire
I feel it infect those around me
I feel it infect myselfThe discomfort you spread
Is so fickle and unfair
I didn’t earn it
I don’t deserve itI try not to engage
Duck my head once again
Make the best of things
Until I have other options.
-
Immasculative
It’s not my job to make you feel like a man
I’m not going to be less smart
Or make less money
Or hide my strength
So that you can feel superior
Submissive isn’t who I am
I don’t have sex to make you happy
I have sex for the orgasm
I’m looking for my fulfillment
For my my gratification
I’m selfish like a man
Happy spinster
With my electric vibrator
Not gonna be less of myself
Not gonna play a gender role
For the chance to hook a man
And his conditional love
I’d be so much more likely
To wanna put your dick in my mouth
If you adored my personality
If you loved all my flaws
If you let me be in control
And sex was about me.
-
inertia
Inertia has me in its grip
So many things I could do
Yet none of them doneI wonder if I sleep all day
Will my longing run away
Or will I continue to hungerSomething has to be done
Removing myself from listless
Make of myself something usefulGive me a moment
And I’ll get up
I tell myselfYeah…right.
