My overrated Facade
These scars on my wrists that you just don’t see This noose around my neck means nothing to me It’s just the way my life is entrapped by your charm Your centerpiece of loveliness, you see no harm No fears, no care,s don’t worry about me My overrated façade is all you’ll see. Live your life- Live mine too Damn! I hate...

Premium Member Victory Is Overrated
They call it a race, but it feels more like a circus— tightropes stretched over flames, clowns tripping over their own pride, while I, in my worn sneakers, stroll past their delicate egos. Let them shout. Their speed is a gunshot— all noise, no aim. I’ve got the calm of a bassline, the steady rhythm of knowing that slow doesn’t mean weak. Victory? It’s a cheap bottle...

Overrated virtues of cleaning
Organ-ize it like some sort of sick symphony I suppose though the latter half of my A&P studies suggest otherwise working together in harmony a kind of homeostasis, (it makes me shudder to think of any living space being like that) organ...ized like fossilized something that sets out a course to take place over eons of time that no one small frail human...

If ratings give meaning, symbolled with stars, Then always keep on your ratings radar. I’m trying to write my best poem by far, Please rate it between a one and five star. Lines as, ‘She brakes me as if I’m a car, While my engine’s roaring like a jaguar!’ What, that’s too simple, need to raise the bar? Ok, how about some...

The Overrated
From a Happening Bar Staggered into his car And after forty miles Still rich in The Saved’s Smiles, As he foully staggered out… Against huge hopes of a lout Of a crashing incident If not a killing accident… A character people hyped: A wrong name on the lists typed; One needing to stand erect Allowed ‘Star who’d...

Love Is Overrated
Love is overrated Misunderstood, miscalculated. It is the morning mist, A dew rested on the grass. In the warmth, it ceases to exist. with the heat of the sun, it's gone. Love demands caring, Demands nourishment, The constant attention of 5minus4 senses. Love always dies slow, Suffocating agony, a hard ignore. Love is the cancer of the balls. It's a haunting acoustic of an empty...

Truth: Overrated- Overrated
What if telling the truth is going to change the life of a lot of people around you for worse? What if telling the truth is only going to hurt you and others in ways which aren’t physically possible? What if you’re not really afraid of exposing yourself to everyone but just of accepting that you’re...

Premium Member Ignorance Is Overrated
Some people take to Facebook In an effort to create A safe and pleasant habitat Unfriending those who wish debate. But still rile against a college chum Who's not lost their winter weight. We drone on about the weather Far too often before we die. Talking incessantly about our children To those unfortunate to catch our eye. But fail to address substantive issues And I have...

Premium Member Sleep Overrated
Sleep Deprivation over rated, not so deep Until the morning when every cell wants sleep. Anger issues pop up in large amounts, I am so tired. Eyes are blood-shot, body is spent, headache and wired. Sleep deprivation is a real thing, and it's sad when it rears its ugly head. Sometimes all you have to do is go climb on...
