Manipulative little verses These manipulative little versesManipulative little verses by ~ThatG1rl
Tactical shifts of opinion
I guess you always get what you want
Because of these strategies
Of diversion
This dance around your addiction
Deceitful turns of phrase
Small expressions
With big reactions
Attempting to coerce me into
Something so irrelevant
So caustic
Sin and sin and sin
And then absolution from the womb
Wipes it all clean
So you can begin again
These fluctuations
Rotting away your worth
The internal resistance
Difficult to overcome
Can't wake you up
So I'm folding
Generational Contradictions Whisper your cursesGenerational Contradictions by ~ThatG1rl
Spread the cancer
Look around
So dense
Glance at the floor
Don't look directly at the eyes
What am I meant to do?
How am I meant to react to this?
How would you react?
I daydream about what I wish
I had done for days
Persecuted by the slow
Fried chicken feasting a family meal
Passing on your perceptions
To receptive minds
What a mess
Generational contradictions
And they get away with it
Every fucking time
I see hate in your eyes
She speaks her thought aloud
Must we use such harsh words?
I guess so
I'll keep mine to myself
At least for today
Walking away in shame
I can't help but think
I have lost
Principles of Conviction Verse:Principles of Conviction by ~ThatG1rl
A conference
Showcasing your
Absolute morals
So much resolve
So sure you will change our minds
I scan the room
See the faces around me
The smell of acceptance is
Debilitating
Debilitating
Bridge
Chorus:
Could you maybe
Clarify for me
The principles of conviction
One more time
This inconsistent stance
Perplexing
Detonation appears imminent
Intro Riff:
But your devotion
Will protect you
Will save you
Your so sure it will protect you
So sure it will save you
Verse:
I hear you gasp
And sputter
It's getting harder to breathe
With all this murky reason
In the air
You search for answers
That will never come
Girls This poem is for the girls.Girls by ~LyttleBlankyta
For the girls whose favourite colour growing up was green,
Not pink.
For elementary school princesses still dreaming of being royalty
For the cheerleaders and the songwriters
The girls who loved fairy tales, who love romantic comedies,
For the girls who will not let you blame their anger or sadness on PMS
Regardless of what time of the month it is.
This is for Hillary Rodham Clinton:
Too emotional to hold the presidency in an emotionally absent democracy
For Angela Carter, letting loose her lions,
For Britney Spears, once sixteen, once Mousekateer turned Catholic School pedophile bait,
Begging in costum
Sta.sh
I like your new poems.
