Happily discontent, that I am, that I be

now  future
happy   discontent
achievable  out of reach
joie de vivre  bags of regrets
what I am now  what I could be
love the journey  are we there yet?
live in the present  dream of becoming
I'm truly self made  I'm reactionary, dependent
let it be, let it be, now  endless mindful reflection
I’m restless, but at peace  unable to sleep, daydream
I’m thankful for many things  when will this nightmare end?
nothing is perfect, fully satisfies  quest for perfection ruins the journey
life is an ever evolving process  hit or miss, sink or swim, stuns growth
a chest full of good things in life  a pile of things underachieved, undone
thankful for what I’ve got so far  I want more, but I'm burdened by failures
acceptance without complacency  resentful, jealous of what others have
accept that creativity makes mistakes  counting failures, clutters & confounds

So I Write

So I write...
So I write...
even in this world despite my meaningless less expressive self...I write.
Declined in hysterical, faultlessness...I write
to fulfill plentiful emptiness's.

What successes will my manuscripted-selfless-self achieve?
My pages written solemnly based on critical theologies, 
these 
I gotta have it technologies, burnt bridges crossed, or
The Lord Jesus crucified; 
that which I truly believe.

I write...

particularly, like birds sing happily - freely, underachieved 
Yet pronouncing” I'm flexing my wings".
As a confident wind blows 
it's own flow throughout bureaus of grasses.
Alike Mrs. Mother Earth allowing her seasons be passive.

I write...

For being intrigued by what might, 
happen,
as an eye, leads the soul, or a heart searching, 
abuses be buried  though grasping.  
Across any script denoted by way, 
of my poetic pen tip.

I write... 
Perhaps, one of many frivolous scripts,
possess seeded enunciation's
of spiritual worth 
as words read would be basis 
for a total rebirth,

...so I'll write.

I have more to contribute.

Nobody

I speak my soul still nobody hears me
Its like I recite for no reason my words have no cause
I sit here and scream out my soul 
Not looking for applause

Just wanting to be recognized 
I constantly scream but it all goes unheard 
Like my voice has no sound
And theirs no meaning to my words

Not at all, no one, nobody hears me
But I know they can see me…. See within vision
Or maybe they hear me loud and clearly
It’s just that they do not listen
 
Either I’m overreacting or I’m overlooked
Underachieved or underestimated 
Which one is the result of my cries having silent replies?
Whatever it is I just hate it

But the lack of acknowledgement 
Has yet to halt me from ceasing my fate 
Don’t do it for the name or not in vein
Just do it for people to relate

Maybe it may be that I’m not taken seriously
But I am so serious I breathe poetry through my ribs
And for those who at all do not know
I’ll tell you what it is

It’s just expressions of my feelings
Something I was just born to do
But what am I?
I am just NOBODY to you

     be basis for a total rebirth.
