A hack in life unable to harness my own potential. I feel like a piece of mined iron ore or a piece of newly found coal, brought to the surface and into the light by forces who do not understand what I am saying, or why I do what I do. I feel as if my passionate and unfocused strengths, as well as my own internal awe, my confidence, are burning and flowing uncontrollably, and being wasted in this time and life.

Peeling The Paint

Peeling the paint off the wall

Its cracks have formed over time.

Peeling the paint off the wall

Its cracks look just like mine.

Peeling the paint off the wall

Exposes its true face.

Peeling the paint off me

Exposes me every...

Have you ever.

Have you ever heard the wind,
Complain as it moves through the leaves?
Have you ever heard the water,
Complain as it moves through the eaves?
Have you ever heard the fire,
Complain as it burns wood red?
Have you ever heard the earth,
Complaint is it...

Not a thing you can do, not even...

Hello,
May I ask why you would like them to pruge/remove a poem you publicly posted in the past?

Should I be having the poems I and everyone who’s created and publicly posted a poem request the removal of those items for some legal reason or nefarious misuse reason that we agreed to in the past but now we should all change our minds?

I am honestly asking so I can tell my parents and the elderly to be aware of the reasons and tell kids I know the reasons to never ever participate.

I am honestly now worried I have missed something due to you requesting the removal of your items.

Thank you.
