Backfire Poems

Backfire

A upholder strong, bold, and courageous
Belittled and trivialized
Accepting truth; she's bon a fide
Speaking up for self became contagious.

'don'T Get Victimized, You Are a Warrior'

When a child is born,
First education begins at home,
We already fix the criteria for them,
I wanna ask all why do we do that…?

We, as a society tell a boy not to cry, 
We tell girls they need to bake and fry,
We start this discrimination even when they are in womb,
Then we expect the right environment

Backfire

So you think?

So you think you know?

Claim you know my temperament?

Claim you understand my soul?

Tell them who I am?

Tell them what I like?

Tell them what I know?

Look into my eyes, look into my soul

See the doors close?

That tells you what you know

See the tears and cries when I was left alone?

See when my mind backfired

Backfire

A God-forsaken city
Dictated by incompetent people
Though characterized by secret frowns 
Lying in wait for a beautiful day
Please resurrect one from the ashes of the past
Growing like grass is the sense of melancholy
While innocence dies like a small, brilliant flame
Following the sun as it retires for the day
A long day at work
More little civilian wars wage
One

Backfire 4 Burn
She was quite a bird. Why did they update her so? Twin 55k engines in full 'burner. Don't they know that airframe limits would be reached in dry thrust? That bird would fly like a fighter. Did she? Rolling, turning, climbing, diving. What of her airframe strength? Enough? To fly fly fly. Those

Backfire

Everyday,

 Im going to constantly bug you 
with beautiful aggressive sarcasm 
that it will cause your words
to catch fire,
even before the match 
is even out the box.

Then I will dismantle your words
and display them like a trophy 
on my mantel for all your friends
to come and see at your expense.

Backfire

I bought a bracelet as a gift
But first I slipped it on my wrist
Where my intentions took a shift – 
For really, how could I resist?

It looked quite perfect sitting there;
I couldn’t help but crack a smile
And though it was without compare,
A fool could tell it was my style.

My friend will think it’s rather great.
She’ll

Backfire

What’s the use of trying any longer?
Nothing comes out the way I want it to flow
Words perpetrate my every being
And I strain to get my temperament to slow
But my cognizance is reeling in a panic of waves
The voltage of emotion is overwhelming me
What is this journey impending to?
What is my purpose?
To obliterate or build?
I keep
