living in this flagitious society life becomes numb
yet we extrapolate irrespective reality till we become dumb
mental break downs and frivolous exercises of intellectual contempt
permeates a paradigmatic volition of unparsimonious content
we are axiomatic in our subjective minds as we conceptualize truths
but preconceived notions poison and impede the capacity of our fruits
berayed by the thick insulating cover of vitriolic and obligatory words
you can see with more than our eyes and hear more than whats heard
virtue and value will hurt you in battle
as expression and intention fight for domain
necessity and certainty like humans and cattle
like pride and despair both going insane
miraculous recoveries and extravagant claims
cognitive faculties misfiring as the mind refuses to aim
lost in translation as we wander our brains
a mental castration of parabolic restrains
feelings, opinions and emotions all subjective and chained
like a broken track on a bridge made for a 4,000 ton train
we refuse to abide by the laws in our hearts
as we accept solipsism in whole and in part
judgmental determinist with a maniacal skill
to violate logic and ignore the freewill
you recapitulate hate and promulgate lies
like maggots on a carcass embedded by flies
you are dead in your thoughts and dead in your walk
Trace the outline of your body with a forensic white chalk
to be dead in your mind is to be dead inside time
and if life is subjective theres no reason or rhyme

Motivation is what I need,
Not this selfish, ugly greed
I need this right this instant
I don't want this arrogance...
Frustration is what I get
Left with this silly regret
I don't believe in fairytales
Nevermind...I'm The Tale of Fail
Frustration is what I get
Left with this silly regret
I don't believe in fairytales
Nevermind...I'm The Tale of Fail
I wear attire of tiredless desire
Love is an understatement on how I feel for you
Can you lift me a little higher?
Hate is an overstatement...didn't you know that, boo?
Freedom is what I plead for
Freedom is what I'd die for
Freedom and success is what I live for...
Not being this Tale of Fail to the core...
Frustration is what I get
Left with this silly regret
I don't believe in fairytales
Nevermind...I'm The Tale of Fail
In the comfort zone
Of being left alone
I feel at home with me, myself and I
I can't deny...I'd rather die...
In your arms of lovingkindness...
Don't mind the double distress...
That I feel deep inside...
I want to abide by your side...
Forevermore...
I adore you...
From sky to floor...
You love me too...
This and that is how you describe me
I'm here and there if you know what I mean
You know what? I long to be free, baby
Oh honey, I need you - we are two peas in a pod...
So, where have you been? Where have you been...
All my 18 years of living on Earth?
I long for His epic mirth...
I learned to forgive and forget
But, neglect not my regret...
It burns on...
Like the dawn...
Rush me to the hospital
I'm going crazy without you, baby
Crazy in love with you, that's all
My heart stops for you...frankly
Frustration is what I get
Left with this silly regret
I don't believe in fairytales
Nevermind...I'm The Tale of Fail
Frustration is what I get
Left with this silly regret
I don't believe in fairytales
Nevermind...I'm The Tale of Fail
I'm The Tale of Fail...
I'm in Failure Jail...
Emotional debt is hard to pay off…honey, I just want to be forever free
Life is getting harder and difficult on me these vexing, dangerous days
I apologize for my stupidity – kill me alive, for this life is rough honestly
My sinful, selfish everything makes me feel rather empty in many ways
I am surviving and I will not be the one, flight-deprived and dying
Rainclouds formulate substantially and change to neon-rainbow colors
I feel myself fall thirty seven feet below me and you and I’m not lying
Don’t you know the tongue is a vermilion wildfire and it injures
Trustworthiness is so uncommon
I’m a worry bug that worries a ton
Hopelessness is my tune and an ugly bloom,
Along with gloom and insecurity abloom
I feel very far away from truly receiving gratification today
I have had things taken away from me and gives me dismay
I am keen to see God's greatest plan for us all – a spiritual, solace Kingdom
My opportunity doors keep closing and I can barely reach out for them
Hold on to me and chase away my majestic madness and painful angst
You are a part of my memory…no need to say “Oh, I see” or “thanks”
I’m afraid, yet I’m brave – nothing makes sense anymore…darling, I’m being honest!
I’m one with mellowness, sheer satisfaction and quenched in quietude as I see best
Emotional debt is hard to pay off…honey, I just want to be eternally free
I am surviving and I will not be the one, flight-deprived and dying – I’m the lonesome guy that started crying and endless sighing..feels that recovery isn’t here yet, but I got to have joy
Along with gloom and insecurity abloom…ecstasy is right next to sea
My opportunity doors keep closing and I can barely reach out for them…You’re my remedy and healing grace, so I will keep trying and hopefully someday; wish we could’ve kept trying and trying, oh boy
Hold on to me and chase away my majestic madness and painful angst, for I have forever tried to remain sane and douse upon me His jubilant, tranquil rain
Hold on to me…hold on to me…remember to abide by my side, for I need you next to me…hold on to me…hold on to me…releasing tension from my brain
Hopefulness is my tune and such a pretty awesome bloom,
Along with sweet sunshine and undying cheerfulness abloom
Breaking free from collusion
A watch tower stands tall a look out in the circular prisons
surrounded by wardens laying down prescriptions and rules
with us in the centre fragmented in dead ends and schisms
mirrored glass no one inside we internalise as obedient fools
At the gate high walls conscience barriers and road blocks
imagined barbed wire where we pay fines in constant delusion
monitored in constriction we fail to walk outside of that box
abide by dogma norms lack vision to approach our confusion
Afraid of cul de sacs dead ends stop signs for individual drive
we halt and abide arrested immobilised for society’s sake
accept torturous certainty admit to all guilt and as we shrive
cannot distinguish from needs what is causing us mind ache
Roundabout’s exits guarded by our very own straight jackets
we spin around like puppets on strings to our master’s delight
The ‘panopticon’ demands obedience and we cannot attack it
for lack of conviction rebellion introspection rigorous insight
Unless we break free from chains of what others demand
disregard our dreams our beauty default on individual virtue
the road ends at a four way stop where forever we stand
disunited abolished forgotten and constant imagined taboo
4th January 2017
Written for contest: At the end of the road
This sinner deserves no peace this sinner deserves only pain
This sinner should not be allowed to smile this sinner should not be able to gain
This sinner should not be blessed in that way that they are
This sinner should have to carry around His scars
This sinner does not deserve to be happy after the things they have done
This sinner is not worthy of the Holy One
This sinner has committed sins that make them feel ashamed
This sinner does not deserve to be recognized by their name
This sinner has broken a few commandments that we are to follow and abide by
This sinner has hurt people intentionally before and has made others cry
This sinner has cussed, this sinner has lied
This sinner should have been the one that was crucified
This sinner does not deserve to look upon the face of God one day
This sinner is one of God’s children though, although they tried to run away
This sinner was lost in life, heading in the wrong direction and taking the wrong turns
This sinner was found by God in His time when she was ready to learn
This sinner opened her heart and let the love and peace of knowing God inside
This sinner found her haven where she no longer had to hide
This sinner found the love that she needed all along
This sinner found where she truly belonged
This sinner is not special she knows that she doesn’t deserve God’s grace
This sinner has asked for forgiveness and is trying to change her ways
This sinner still sins every day of her life
This sinner is cloaked in His precious blood now and her sins are now washed away like the tide
This sinner is me and I am trying to be the person that God wants me to be
This sinner wants to help reach others that may not know the gift that you could receive
This sinner still feels pain and still hurts and has trials in her life
This sinner is stronger and can survive them a little easier now because God is on her side.
This poem is from my book titled No Greater Love Than His Love available on Amazon for purchase and Kindle. My pen name is Amanda Carroll Kinzer
We have a tendency to focus on our flaws, despite it being what makes us human; what we despise is what one desires, and what we desire is what someone despises.
I felt this way for years; I still do- the perpetuous feeling that I’m horrendous.
When I look in my mirror, I don’t see my full lips, my long lashes, or my hourglass; I see my short legs, protruding stomach, and my eyebags.
Yet people with those flaws are beautiful- so why am I not?
The answer is that I am; I am beautiful, I am worthy, and I’m not horrendous- I simply haven’t been able to process my worth yet.
It seems that each passing year, I reflect on myself, making those negative remarks, rendering myself as unattractive.
Though, next year, I’ll look back on myself and realize how gorgeous I truly was; though it’s not that simple to prevent those negative feelings from pursuing.
Does beauty even exist, though?
It’s repeatedly changed over time, and it’s quite subjective, which has caused me to believe that true beauty doesn’t exist; it’s simply a perception.
I shouldn’t waste my time trying to ease the perceptions of others; I should follow my own, because short legs, protruding stomachs, and eyebags are beautiful; they’re only viewed in a negative way because society itself is ugly.
If I abide by every standard of others, I’ll only feel regret, for my happiness shall pulverize.
If I create myself to be someone who is healthy and who I love, my happiness shall thrive.
Though these insecurities will persist, even with the most attractive individuals- they’ll always haunt you, whether or not you believe in yourself.
So I dissected myself.
…
Carving every inch of me until my insides are out; but when I do so, my organs look the same as everyone else’s.
Bathing in perplexion until I realized; we’re all the same on the inside- and as I try to stuff my organs back inside of me, I remember what people say-
See, I’ve been told before, just like anyone else, that I’m ugly.
People take advantage of others' sensitivity in order to ease their insecurities; but they’re morons who don’t know what they’re talking about.
They try ridding of their “flaws” by projecting it on others, though those rigid thoughts will always remain inside.
But truth be told, we all have the same interior- and..
You’ll truly be happy if you stop caring about the perceptions of others.
The price…the cost of my sins is too much to pay up in one day
I-I have an excuse –
My heart has been thumping with dismay
I was a new kid, making up several excuses almost everyday
I was struggling in school several times – it’s the bothering truth, reducing me to tears of dread
I was alone and had no one to rely on – that abominable lie in my head! I feel rather…dead
I am ignored, but I’ve accepted it as normal
Reality can get so cruel – but, I must stand tall
Stand tall, David, you must stand tall and give it your all
I am…so afraid of the light
Hey! Lord, be my worthy sword!
You’re even there to hear me out and you make me yearn for accord!
Be with me…you and I need to toughen up
Abide by my side, angel! I feel so discouraged! My cup
Is half full instead of half empty
I am..so confused by the commotion of the ocean, spraying misery
Upon my mindset…now, I’m feeling quite upset
Because I have to pay up so much different kinds of debt
I say HELLO to Him
He’s there with me while I flee
He answered me when I knocked on His front door
I’m not grief-stricken or lost in a multitude anymore!
Today, I’m happy to live another day
I am set free – I-I can fly . . . ?
Not weighed down by being in my own skin...
But, this burn is scorching me aflame from deep within
Deep down inside,
I hear the echoes of empathy

when there is nothing that you can personally do
it's time to step back and let Jesus fix it for you
the children of Israel were oppressed for 400 years
it was a situation that they could no longer stand to bear
then one day God told them have no fear and be still
I will deliver you if you just abide by My will
there will be some things in life you can handle and some you cannot do
you need to place your trust in Jesus and let Him fix it for you
in life there will be trials, tribulations, challenges and strife
but no one ever told you that you'd have a stress free life
when you look at the frustration that Jesus Himself had to endure
the struggle, the unbelief, the closed minds and the shut doors
accepted by some, rejected by many, beaten and then crucified
the ultimate sacrifice so that with God we could be reunified
He was sent to instruct us on how to live godly, righteous and true
and show us how to wait on the grace of God that will fall unto you
to have faith, to speak life, to sit back and learn to relax
and believe that God is always in the midst and He'll always have your back
to not worry about the petty stuff, to let go and let God
to love your friends as well as your enemies with a righteousness of heart
when you look at African-Americans and their 400 years of slavery
they were a people who trusted in God to put an end to that misery
they were constantly praying, always saying that the Lord would pull them through
always faithful, eternally grateful that Jesus would fix it for you
omnipotent, omnipresent and sufficient is His mercy and grace
always in the mix, nothing He can't fix no matter the time nor the place
God sent His perfect Son Jesus to be the sacrificial lamb for our salvation
the Prince of Peace, the Salt of the Earth, the Light of the World for all creation
so have no fear the angels do say
trust in God to always make a way
so don't worry about things that you cannot do
just stand still and let Jesus fix it for you
