Persona Poem
Situated on the Northside of the city you live in,
but across the army of me
she has a scar on her face ___jagged
wrecking the beauty
but granting the beauty FREEDOM
from surface awkwardness
Bent over the sink
spitting blood into the sink
Sink into an obscene delight
crimson warfare explains her
miserable exposure

prompt from April 13th
The Beach
Overwhelmingcold cold cold cold
beautiful view
jagged rocks
that lead you to the sand
child wonder
incredible fumble
across the rocks___octopus lining
horribly tangling
But peaceful ease
sets in after noticing such an
overwhelming power in that ocean
an empowerment, an ocean within us all
Our Empowerment.

What I would like to say to you
You think my life is hard because of your experience
But my experience is my own
I don't worry about the same things you worry about
You think you're hot shit because
you drive a Mercedes Bins
well you ain't shit
I am tired of you, you, and you in my life.
I am bailing on you!
It will be hard at first, no doubt
but I will be ok.
I will overcome
My freedom means more to me than this corroded circumstance
I will find the resources I need
I'll be fine
I am not afraid anymore
I know there are ups and downs
so just stay out of my LIFE!!!

In the morning light
rests a remote black kitty
upon a wooden
rocking chair shaking wildly
the chair cracks and breaks earthquake

Life's Annoying Little nuisances
Crack in the front view window due to
a tiny little pebble when you drive over gravel
The kid comes home claiming someone is bullying her
I see her walking home she's crying holding on to her shoulder
I lose my temper, yell at the grandparent, the only parent around for this suspected bully
I talk to the suspects parent, and from her point of view, my kid is the suspect
the bully. Who's telling the truth?
Annoying little nuisance
Life you're ANNOYING!
Mother__ who's always undermining me,
After I have been paying her bills, the rent and the taxes on the house
After overachieving, graduating from college twice with honors,
keeping a job for two years, keeping a job for a year and a half
Mother is Mexican, but she more like tiger mom
Mother still not happy
I am lazy from her point of view
I have no ambition from her point of view
My life is in shambles because I am laid off
I was "let go" I have not the money to feed her habits
to her money is equal to integrity
Hopelessly annoying Life__Life's little nuisances
But she'll still take whatever money I have!
But "give me money" she says give money to gamble, gambling is my job
I am good at gambling.
NUISANCE
Because I gave you life she says, "you could have been an abortion." This rings through my ears throughout my childhood and beyond!
Annoying, abusive mother. SHOOT ME!
Lousy Partner in class assignment, next
Chapter project presentation for training for teachers
He doesn't even read the chapter.
Makes up his own power point.
He wants to change everything at the last minute
After which I read the whole chapter, I worked my ideas through and did the work
After which I e-mailed him and contacted him several times to tell me or give me something
NOOOOOOO, completely inconsiderate. Inconsiderate of what grade either of us get.
And he argues with me about who is going first in front of the whole class.
Meanwhile my child sits in on this class because I don't know which one is the bully?
Who's telling the truth?
Annoying
nuisances
horrid, horrid, horrid. Painstakingly horrid!
Life you're so annoying sometimes.
