Dear Logan

Everyone knows it’s supposed to be me and you.
But because somebody decided to hurt me through you.
Now I have to go on without you. 
And close my eyes to forget about you so I can survive.

Premium MemberThe Person

The person who calls, calls to the person who hears.
The person who asks, asks the person who listens.
The person who confides, confides in the person to trust.
But the person who boasts, boasts to anyone.

Premium MemberOh Yes Your's Stinks Too

… Oh Yes…. Your  Stinks Too!!!
We all know at least one…

The person who self-aggrandises, intent on making others think, feel, and look less than… while falsely building themselves up to be more than… 

They remind me of the story, The Emperor's New Clothes. The king obliviously marched around town and down the street with

Premium MemberPersonas Limitation

Personas have limits, boundaries veiled by the thin masquerade of pretense
They whisper promises of identity, yet crack under pressure of reality's weight—poet

She puts on her face while vaping smoke surrounds, 
Carefully paints fishtail eyes , studs, and crimson lips,  
satin scarfs around hug her hips
Bindi adorned when with the Janes
A sterling nose ring pierces

Escaping Death

Escaping Death

(written in a mental hospital) 

I escaped from Death today, 
And I don't know what to think. 
Because when Death comes round and round, 
you start to feel his scent and stink. 
There are others counting on me now.
I can't let them down, this I know. 
So close to Death and yet, so certain-
now

Premium MemberPersona

Persona, a mask we wear, a painted facade,
Protecting the heart, a secret, a code.
Painful truths concealed, a silent plea,
Playing a role, for all to see.

Profoundly, we craft a persona, a shield,
Protecting the soul, a truth concealed.
Power, a tool, to shape the image,
Painting a story, a fabricated image.

Passionate, the mask, a fragile facade,
Playing a role, a

Premium MemberPersona Non Grata


            Persona Non Grata

   She was persona non grata.
   But, very blessed to not know it.
   Her loving words, but a naive sonata,
   Unaware, she was thought of, as a half wit.

They hate her laugh
They hate her style
They hate her staff
They hate her guile
They hate her swagger and generous grin
But above all else,
They hate she just may win!

You


___ 

You cannot escape yourself,
I know we wish to be someone else.
Comparison is an easy deceiver,
no one is much cleaner,
Everyone has their faults,
Your not the only grain of salt.
No one can share a duplicate identity 
that would make you a nonentity.

Premium MemberPersona Non Grata

I am nothing

pariah     outcast    a worm

I have nothing to offer, nothing of value

except these words

for when I see the sunlight reflect

in your chocolate brown eyes I envision 

paradise

eden   before the fall

and when you smile you 

radiate

all the colors of the rainbow

reds and yellows   indigo

Mythologized Sun Child Persona Incarnate

Mythologized sun child persona incarnate

Self actualization materialized 
like ghost that came back to haunt me! 

Figurative silver lining gleaned 
from hyperawareness encompassing 
great proportion of my existence. 

Agonizing enlightenment points 
to realization sweeping across avast arc 
(nemesis) analogous as dark shadows 
from outer limits of twilight zone. 

Plethora psychological woes 
(cleaving corporeal essence 
of yours

Premium MemberPerformer Behind the Glass

Echo world behind the glass,
I make the same faces I did at twelve.
The grinning Cheshire Cat 
with teeth like piano keys,
mendacious and coy
because viewing my portrait with sobriety
forces me to march with familiar frailties.
I’m certain my gravitas is a forgery.
I am sure my laments and torments are 
playacted animation. 
	Their drama is loathsome.  

Instead,
