Clamour

Not arguing today

Words get in the way

Sorry falls on deaf ears

And the world is waiting

For the clamour of the voices

To fall away 

When words get in the way

Time will not obey

When it falls away

The world stopped turning

So it gave up trying

We need to figure it out

How to stay

Before we fall away

Don't want to go away

So how do I stay

Hiding here all my days

Enclosed in your arms until night

With you eternally

Before you fall away

How do I stay

INTJ

INTJ

Striding in measured steps

Cold cool calculating

The look in the eyes

That goes right through you

A sarcastic comment

Taken out of context

An offcolor joke

Taken to heart

Hard to reach that heart

Or even know it’s there

A side effect of life

A chemical reaction

We all have them

Just some choose not to flaunt them

Hiding in plain sight

If no one can see it

No one gets hurt

Protection always has a cost

No Words

Someday never comes

Tomorrow waits for none

If you can hear me, answer

Cause my darkness screams in the night

My throat is raw, I’ve screamed so much

My tears burn fire down my cheeks

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever ended

My terror frightens me

I have no words

Anguish is a lesson in patience

Sorrow is a tale written in woe

There is no longer a hiding place

Time is all that’s left

Antonio's Struggle

Hiding in plain sight

With no spies to fell me

Who would ever suspect

This pathetic shell

Not good enough

For anyone to notice

Antonio’s Struggle

Is mine as well

Not that I’m smart

Or pretty or talented

Or any such qualifier

That marks me as great

When everyone notices

Actions that get taken

But never the person

That’s making the waves

Calms seas are coming

The skies will grow blue

After the storm comes

The rainbow shows through

Obession vs Adoration

Obsession

I can’t tell why I like them

It’s an indescribable need

It’s a burning fire

I fixate on little details

I can tell you everything about them

I don’t want anyone else near them

I know every appearance

I see their latest movie but I don’t remember the plot

I threaten others if they violate their space

But if someone else comes close better to make them feel insecure

Because I feel insecure myself

But they’re insecure right…

I swear they’re winking right at me…

I think I’ll go see them

It’s not like I don’t know where they are…         

Adoration

I love the things you do  

You make me better everyday

Learning more about the best you are,

Helps me discover 

More about the person I want to be

Exploring new avenues of learning,

Expanding my mind

By the breadth of you

No longer needing to hide

The light in you brings out the light in me

I read an article today about celebrity obsession and thought I would do a side by side comparision poem.  The difference between the two, in my mind, one is about how “I feel”, the other is about how the celebrity influences the writer.  Just my little contribution to the debate about Celebrities and obsession.
