Best Recovering Poems

Hm, unchain me from my pit of poverty
My pit of impure pity and messed-up misery – let it go! Misery, let me go! You 
won’t let me light up with delight though
Ohhh, living this lie with or without you, you see?
Change me inside out, oh...

I've now read evolutionary
and feminist historians
and economists
and political scientists
agreeing, in a side by side custody
of the over-specialized eyes
and ears
non-dialogical way

Not competing against each other,
except maybe for journal space,
nor actively cooperating with each other,
beyond normal ethical Golden Rule academic standards,
occasionally co-opting hybrid terms
from each other,
word choices,...

Looking for meaning 
     Too many meaningless things
           Our lives are cluttered
               We must work towards uplifting...

A soldier we have fighting for us,
   his time is done, his recovery is a must.
  Where does he go, who does he turn to,
   questions he should not ask, it's up to me and you.
  Did he not...

The door opens.
And a shadow looms.
That’s the one!
A hand is given.

Paper, metal, plastic.
It’s all the same.
Its all as grand as the other.
Desperation does not discriminate.
Nor greed, nor desire, nor hunger.
All is welcome!

A bright light leads the way.
I look ahead.
Below the shield lay not poison, but...

Recovering Adict: By Jessica Trotter
A.K.A BooBoo A.K.A The Lost Poet


I am
a teenager
who sometimes gets into trouble
a girl
who likes others
a red head
who has a temper
a bi-sexual 
who is proud
an outcast
who use to be teased
a christian
who use to have no faith
a wiccan
who worships the earth
an 'inside-out Oreo'...

Recovering From Life

Life, when full of sadness, can break a person’s spirit.
It happens all too often; you can see it in their eyes.
Children bullied around, whipped; why, they know not.
Women, beaten, ridiculed, and abused by husbands/lovers.
Men disrespected, disregarded, and left out.

Perhaps never fully recovered, they...

Having been smitten 
   with cancer 
and with spinal troubles 
  I take my recovery 
     quite 
     seriously 
   I feel the power of the "chi" 
  in the depths...

Outgunned by life,you escape 
to epipheny. The inner- 

voice had betrayed. Are you
ready to meet the believer ?

Sad ending of mithridatism- 
in the wake of realization.   

The growing clout of pink petals
was overwhelming the dust.

The leaf body mimics the 
rocks. From the rear...

After a brief illness, some dry toast
and the turgid sloshing of rehashed thoughts.

Slowly the former becomes the new now.
I bathe in new invigorating light.

This is how we recreate our world;
with carefully paced electro-chemical reactions,
brittle notions are chewed soft like moccasins
until they fit new feet and...
