My Declaration of War On Self-Imposed Stupidity...Who's Coming With Me?!
All this hyped up glam and glitz
  giggly girls break down in fits
    these mascara clad boys devoid of wits
The shallower they go,  the deeper it gets
 
Sillouettes lacking inner angles and lines...
 The substance goes absent when the light...

Self Imposed Exile
I want to go back to my country
But I can't seem to find the way
Poverty is blurring the coordinates
With every passing day

I want to sit with my family
And speak my native tongue
Eat my mother’s home cooked meals
And feel that I belong

I am happy to have...

Self Imposed
Dedicate to human rights Mr. Anna Hazare activist that fought for free corrupt Indian society. 
this poem is a result of my disappointment.
Inhabitable lineal consanguinity, paraphernalia under the subordination.
A resourceful visible Bond, to colonize the characteristic of vocation.
To command inhabited Living, to obtain Ledger of...

Premium Member Self-Imposed Pain
I invite this pain,
      Upon myself willingly;
  Plunging a sharp sword each day,
       Into my own heart,
    You cannot see my deep wounds;
       ...

Super Imposed Part 1... Inspired By the Many Talented Poetrysoup Writers!
Holding on to my words
Your kiss
Took the sun 
And replaced it with Mars
There is a deep chill 
As the heartbeats echo from 
Underneath the ground
It could have been confused with an earthquake
But it is the sound of the dead returning to life
Mesmerized, her lips are...

Premium Member In Isolation Self-Imposed

In misery she sits and sighs
in darkness with the shades all closed.
She counts her problems, stares, and cries
in isolation self-imposed.

In darkness with the shades all closed,
she contemplates a world gone gray
in isolation self-imposed,
and troubles keep her joy at bay.

She contemplates a world gone gray.
Anxiety confounds...

Premium Member Written In Self-Imposed Exile
That I be ambushed in early gambit
  for my king was a sacrifice too great -
just a pawn in a game and I am it
  plays out its capture and winless stalemate.
He not bared to his human desires nor
  fruit on the...

Super Imposed Part 2...Inspired By the Many Talented Poetrysoup Writers
We can speak an entire conversation for hours without a word being said
With each rhythmic movement 
We create waterfalls
Like snowflakes falling down
All around us
I am practicing my martial arts
Since first I saw you
No one will take you away from me
It was your hair 
Long, flowing,...

' Imprisoned In My Self-Imposed World '

*^*

====================


Urbane cavalcade - flaunt in gaiety
Warbling hymns in ego - cyclicity
Jigging gracile moves in vivacity
Relishing in zest in this gravity
Kinsfolk in flamboyant fete - oh its fate?
Smiles, elation in face delineate
Like nothing's wrong makes me exasperate
No one cares? No one adores? it's too late
Recurrent nightmares...

Premium Member Self-Imposed Alienation
I’m lodged in this train on a top spot
yet alone...while others trace a  blue noon amiably,
As  dewed  mist  holds me immovable
From my row ... the  toot  of a loud whistle
makes me want to peep out restlessly.

This journey is intermittent...

Self Imposed Limbo
Timid upon standing
Flailing at equilibrium
with outstretched fingertips
Desperate to grasp that which is unattainable
for now and conceivably forever

Anguish consumes the frontal cortex
as the lower brain pulls the strings emphatically
Enlightenment is thwarted by an insatiable thirst
for pleasure and unapologetic indulgence


Sedated and aloof
Injected with a serum that nullifies
cerebral...

Imposed Dream
The burden of chasing an 
imposed dream
May thwart u fully or make u 
scream
U cannot do 
justice,whatever it be,
As though it is an apple on a 
mango-tree!
The heart will never follow 
that way...
Where it doesnot have a 
say...
It loves to enjoy the comfort 
of freedom..
Even...

Premium Member My Self-Imposed Bad Tale
I followed her to China 
I followed her to Spain
I traipsed behind her neck bones.
I marveled at her brain.

She asked me to please leave
Which really hurt my feelings.
She called the county cops.
Which left my mind a reeling.

I followed her to spinning class.
I followed her to...

Premium Member Her Own Self-Imposed Purgatory
folded into her 
own crinkled
wrinkled

newsprint self, 
delight and enthusiasm rapidly 
dissipate

Torn pieces of herself
languish
in her own self-imposed 
purgatory

joyless, she sees nothing
of her former light.

In greyscale, her 
essence

waits in anguish for
the return of self....

Premium Member Imposed Unemployment
These matters of imposed sequestration,
home health quarantine,
residential segregation,
safety zone re-education

Can also become
contemplative solitude
growing sacred mindfulness,
healthy wealth revision, 
2020 wealth of health
bicameral precision,
monoculturing capitalist rescission,
dipolar non-division;

Social,
political,
economic communication
significantly emerge from personal preference
but also west-hemisphere patriarchal enculturation
no different than propaganda
if delivered with both left and right-hemisphere
collusion intent,
unnaturally sinister,
calculating...
