Premium Member Retirement Due To Health Issues
The dear old pastor had occupied the same pulpit for years and years;
He preached fire, damnation and The Hereafter scorching his congregants ears!
He had baptized hordes of kids and officiated when they married,
And comforted many mourning souls when their loved-ones were buried!

He suffered through stormy...

Clingy With Trust Issues
I am a girl who is a little clingy
I will accept it
I am because of people who have left before
I don't want to lose anyone else
So I hold on for dear life to make sure they are happy
But it comes off as me being needy
I...

Why do people always need s a promise.. To accept what you say..
Why do people keep asking if you are lying in anyway..
Why do people always needs a guarantee to believe what is said..
Because everyone is finding heard to trust everybody..
In life people will always...

Obsession Issues
Obsession Issues


Obsession in Yukon
Obsession in The Bronx
Even got obsession from
Mr. Flaunt what he wants
All these obsession issues
Don’t got time on my mind
So I’m throwin them tissues
Yukon likes number six
so I told him he’s buggin'
runnin' far away from this
The Bronx wants my time
but I told him...

Ego Issues
Afraid of her shadow
Scared by her voice
Unsure where she'll go
If burdened with choice

She danced to the beat 
Of the most fickle drum
Shifting her feet
Biting her tongue

A rebellious disciple
Imagination too grand
A reluctant rival
Avoiding the stand


Haunted by mistakes
Shamed by imperfection
She'll cease to be great
If she shuns her...

Trust Issues
Trust is an issue that is dear to my heart,
   It can’t be given or taken from the start.

It must be earned, it is the only way,
   Head my words, there is truth in them today.

In this present world that we...

That has the solution
To air pollution

It’s not the consumers
So stop spreading those rumors

Trust Issues
At times it feels like the world is out to get her. Sometimes it seems like no one is on her side. She has been left by her father. Been told she's fat by her grandmother. Nothing she ever does pleases her mother. She has...

Daddy Issues
World is full of witches
I'd love to write on them with stitches
Would you like to talk about your daddy issues,
I got time, lets break out some tissues

You say you want honesty
Your reaction while receiving is deceiving 

Your say you and your man share many loving...

Trust Issues

Lovers trust, 
While devils lust,
But it's so serpently,
The way you hiss,
In a choked up bliss,
As you slither away from me.

You're left with no eyes, 
Left with no tongue, 
Left with no legs, 
With which to run.

One more slice, 
Your movements entice,
One more slit,
And a...

Premium Member Nuclear Family Issues
Might we be having trouble fusing nuclear energy,
as opposed to the more troubling nuclear fission's anti-energy,
because nuclear fusion is just normal everyday Business As Usual
cooperation of thermodynamically fusing nuclei?

Oh, I see,
like it's easier to notice you're having another nice healthy day
after you experience the divisive...

Family Issues
befuddled by mud puddle conversation
motivated to stay away from those in the throes of saving face
at a sprinter's pace 
saving grace
each time I grind with people who don't mind blindly trying to debase my name
I end up sulking in the walk of shame

families need to...

Premium Member Racing Issues
Why are we the human race
rather than another extinguishing species?
Why not the human species
and not the cockroach race?
Why is human nature
intended as somehow supremely natural
not within but faster than,
above and beyond 
inferior sensual nature?

Why is race,
inhuman embrace-conflicted context,
a qualitative noun,
stultifying stasis,
rather than a speeding verb
toward...
