I am the Freak

The mask became accepted face

The face became a freaky mask

I am the freak and a woman goes away

I have a chronic illness

She makes me feel bad

She has no idea

I show her a middle finger

Now she feels bad

Now she stays away

Now I feel better

Removing My Mask

I am removing my mask
to show my face
Some of them would join me
if they would be brave
Some of them would kill me
if they would be brave

Sometimes I put it
but just over my lips
As only on the lips
it makes some sense

I, Removed

They told me
I was removed

When have you seen
that a small mud
removed the elephant?

I removed myself
from the system
Lover of the lies

I moved myself
to the corner
where the truth resides

I wasn't removed
I removed myself
from all the dirt

They Won't Listen to Excuses

They absolutely won't listen to excuses

To listen means to understand others

To get the sloppy prejudices out of their pockets

To think about how they got those prejudices

To admit they themselves have the excuses

They just call theirs the valid reasons

Their everyday speech has always the same template

When you listen to them it seems they have no defects

They think their dirt is properly hidden

but I see it well through their skin

Sighting

To see the past

I look behind

I see the struggle

To see the present

I look at the spot

on which I stay

I see the pain

To see the future

I look forward

I see the winner

Hope and I

One voice says

No hope for you

Hope doesn't love you

She wants to escape from you

I say to that voice

Neither do I love her

Unfortunately, we are tied

with the unbreakable contract

Indestructible & Other Poems vitamin k: Book Review

vitamin k: Book Review: Indestructible is Kristy's sophomore effort as an indie author and poet. She is beloved for her contributions to social media circles, particularly the poets of 'G+' If you follow closely, you can see her evolution. She is experimenting with form and verse in interesting ways. I feel as though I am walking through life with her, and it is not sugar-coated. I appreciate her honesty. "The sun is posing but I don't have enough tears to cry for a sunny day that does not warm the heart" she says. In other verses, she gives us a fresh take on the gap between rich and poor. You almost feel as though justice has already been served: "I couldn't buy calm nights with my soul bright as lighter, I couldn't buy clean days with my heart as cotton tender." There is exciting talk about nature, and dreaming about nature overrunning the unnatural world and reclaiming it. In her poem "The wind has lost his mind" she personifies nature well to describe her grief. Her expressions are often spare and crystal clear. She opens windows into relationships and little loves of her life. I really love her work. She beckons me to the living of an authentic sorta life. The one and only way to live.
