A Self Made Machine
I am a self made machine, Told I couldn’t fail, Yet told to have fun, Told to be young, But there’s work to be done, When there's work to be done, Do it in order, Takes you off course, When the time is thrown off, Throws me off course, When nothing is in line, What throws us off is the lack of a dime, When a machine...

He Supposed He Was a Self-Made Man
He often thought to himself that he has been too quickly assembled that he should have taken more time for the busy hands of his constructing mind to fill-in the flaws, smooth-out the cracks, properly tightened the loosely screwed together parts of his nature. He knew he was mind-made; everything is. Mind is the worker; body, persona, and the world, all that his perception...

Premium Member A Sleuth Self-Made
Two sisters have enlisted me to solve for them a mystery. Sounds and music they can sometimes hear, and from their manor things then disappear. What’s happening? Is there a ghost? Who takes the things they value most? I stay with them and notice strange things too. Like one day when canaries flew right through! The eeriness and creaking in the night makes me...

Self Made
self made and self taught, I started from the bottom and worked my way to the top. I was on my own, I taught myself to survive, I jumped from crib to crib, just tryin to get by. I felt like I was always running but I had no where to hide. I’ve had meals with people who weren’t...

Offering Self-Made Delight
Y-our birth brings happiness, Z-est, cheer and laughter; Z-ealous dawn wants to shine A-fter the dusk is over. L-ong night and cold chill H-ave turned into warm day; Y-es, the rain disappears, N-ew morn breaks, E-rasing the gray. L-onely evening shadow I-s beginning to fade; M-arch sixteenth is fine, O-ffering delight that's S-elf-made....

Self-Identity As a Self-Made Predicament, Or, More Fun With Socratic Irony
An insane System by any other name Should still be considered simply insane A prison by any other name Could well be the throne Of a primitivist's brain A lifestyle by any other name Would prefer to be called a "subculture" A truth by any other name May well be an early grave After passing around A bit of the blame - Do we...

Self-Made Stage - With Apologies To the Bard
Somewhere deep in the recesses of one's heart A tiny voice speaks of love and compassion Of what one could be, if one chose, even now for a start, But want it one must with an all-encompassing passion. It needs not the urging of one's other self in the brain Asking one to use logical thought and set on...

Self-Made Torture
Riding these shark infested waters on my lonely makeshift raft in this sea of unfamiliar faces. Riding the waves of loneliness awaiting my inevitable demise by the soon to come storm that will make me a feast for the sharks. I ride patiently, hoping and wondering if any rescue will come and save me from...

Self Made Demise
Is it really hard to understand I am just looking for a man One that sees the world like me Offers his heart humblely I will cherish and protect Give back to him what I get Hoping its not just me Drifting in this lonely sea Been floating out here for years and years Fighting not to drown in my own tears This...
