Rants That Rhyme

5/16 and It Doesn't Rhyme

Did you hear me?
I called out to you with my mind.
Numbers 1:58 branded into the backs of my eyeballs.
And my mind screamed out.
Put me in a bubble.
Surrounded, trapped, but alone.

They Brought Back Vanilla Coke

It's short, but it was in my head today. I'm not having a great day but on the same hand it's not horrible. There's really nothing worse than indifference. I hate it when I stop caring.

Black Burnt Buttered Toast

Baby, baby, why you gotta be so mean?
Why you gotta throw curve ball after curve ball at me?
Why you gotta take the sun and scorch my eyes?
Baby, baby, why you always gotta tell me lies?

Dug my hand into a pocket of memories
Pulled out a piece of you
Every time I think I've found blindness
I discover shades of blue.

Fingerprints scattered
In places still unseen

Jog On

I want all of the special feelings
All the memories
And late night chest heavings

I want them all to fade away.
Not return
Never see the light of day.

I want big fake smiles

Based on a true story

I came in the shower
At five past the hour
And immediately started to cry

My legs weren't through quaking
My clit remained aching
Still I howled at the tiles, "Why oh why?"

When the Getting's Good

You send a conflicting message
At least on this receiving end
You think you're getting through to me
Accuse me of not getting you
But getting you has nothing to do

Sometimes I Even Surprise Myself

People have some strong opinions about me. It's been going on my entire life. I wouldn't say that I aim for people to either love me or hate me, but I will admit that I loathe indifference. Perhaps that's why so few people fall in that middle ground where I'm concerned.

Goodbye and Fuck Off

Just your distraction
Called into action
Opened up your sexual doors
Made you relearn
How to crawl on all fours

Would it have been your choice?

The Fighter In Me

The fighter in me
Hands raised
Fists clenched
Defiant

The fighter in me
Silenced
Immobilized
No longer fearless

The fighter in me
Feels a scream
Within her gut
Ripping flesh

The fighter in me
