The messages with the way I dress

The messages with the way I dress:
- to the questionable people, not all good people look good
- to the good people, not all people who look questionable are
- to my parents, it wasn't just a phase, I'm not going to grow out of it
- to my church family, if I can't be myself at church, you have the wrong expectations
- to my husband, I'm still the crazy little girl that you married
- to myself, I'm still making my own way through life, I've survived my struggles, but I've no desire to forget them

That Type of Person

when I hear you say
"you don't look like the type..."
all I hear you say
is that I don't fit
into your predefined notions
of what life is
and should look like

Depressive Birthdays

I'm fat and depressed
What happened?

My birthday always seems
To be less than happy

If I recall,
this is a several year streak

Not the fat,
that's a new thing.

The depressive birthdays.

Girl, You Disgust Me

You disgust me
You flaunt what you think is success
You flaunt what is ill-gotten
and untrue
You whore yourself to the camera
For some hopeful ounce of fame

What you have is self-confidence
forged in the heart of starvation,
Brazen arrogance
pulled from the lust of broken men,
Self-importance
declared in the name of Grand Self.

Do you not see
what what you take
to get where you are
will also be
taken from you?

Do you not comprehend
what you give to gain
the things you have
will be given
unto another?

Southern Girl

Boots to my knees
Skirts to my thighs

A gun tucked in my left boot
A flask deep in the right

Mr. Business Man

Dear sir across from me in Panera
you look very stressed
in your suit and tie
staring at your laptop
with that saddened face.

I see you wear a wedding ring
perhaps, you should spend more time
     with her.

Have you ever considered,
a new job?
gotta play to win?
do you ever play, just
     to play?

Serkan

Furre.
(furrie? furry? fuzz ball?)
What's with your pointy ears
and tail?
Scales too, you say?

Make up your own creatures.
Make up your own life.
Must be nice...

Dreamcatcher

Made of sticks and twine
Wrapped with care, but
apparently not too much
precision.

Hung from the wall
Elephant entwined
Beads draped within
Crystal dropped below.

Remedy for Ugly

She doesn't think she is pretty [enough]?
Oh yes, make sure she doesn't stop.
Cutting is one of the best remedies for ugly.

Come on now, we're adults.
Look life in the face
and stop staring in the mirror.

Car Boys

Long hair, tattoos, smoking while they work
Bunch of country boys, grew up
with cars for their play toys.
They enjoy what they do.
There is no lie in what they do,
how they look, the work they do.
