Reality

This is how I face my reality. Don't take it so seriously. Everything faces their own reality their own way. But this is merely subjective in the eyes and lives of others.

Mark my blood on your hands, and stand strong

Or I will pull you down with me

Break my neck and sever my spine

Or I will contort you with the strings of my mind and turn you into a puppet

Devise to burn the evidence

Or my presence will remain ever present stained on your insides incandescent

Remember me, in all my madness and not give a f**k splendor

Or I will render cold harsh reality just like December and dine on your fear, your courage dismembered

Fight me on equal ground, equal footing, and if you shouldn’t

I will talk down your charisma and bury you under it

Do not run from me, my truth, or my mission, my dreams, or my goals, my conditions, do not steal them from me

Or you are only an obstacle on my path to enlightenment, and I will chase you down and make you swallow your words like vitamins

Do not call me a monster, or your prey

You better pray this forest is a democracy, for I am the hunter of beasts, silencing the heart that beats and the lungs that breath with such artistry that a wolf is unbecoming of me, leaving you stunned blood running the bleed feeding me eternally on your insanity internally at home to be alone in the face of a thousand warriors, fully glorious and still notoriously stuck standing up and not giving a f**k

Retreat, take your seat and remain obsolete

And I will let you be, I believe in humanity before calamity, even if you never gave it to me

Face fear, face the person who refused to die

And you will bleed where you lie, don’t decide to waste my time

Hate me, initiating and favouring your insanity over my deprivation

And I will live on

Call me what you will

But know that you are a liar

Hate me, but for the same hypocritical reasons that I hate you

And know you are no different from the hate you have for a fictional habitual ritual so formidable and unbreakable that you could forsake it all to believe the cofinality and see the scene you wish to be your reality under the circumcision these thoughts have risen beginning to be driven invalidly to cowardly put truths kept inside and listen to the lies your living, until it’s as sure and flowery as the sunrise your given

Love me, accept me, respect me, neglecting the mismemories you want to see inside of me

And I will do the same for you. I will shelter you, I will protect you, I will help you, I will love you, I will live for you.

But if not, I will see you as a human being, an equal

Because no one should ever be able to take that away from you

Because no one deserves to be nothing, in a world of somethings

To face everything as unforgiving, and horribly unlovable, as reality

Author's Note

This is how I face my reality. Don't take it so seriously. Everything faces their own reality their own way. But this is merely subjective in the eyes and lives of others. This is how we understand different views, our own perception helps us to learn, and disagree. Malleable as putty, a hard harsh truth is unbreakable. But how you perceive it is as fluid is water.

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.

i put up my hands and surrender my throne. I loved this soo muchh! so loud!! i loved every part... so much imagery.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

I'm happy you liked my poem. I'm always coming up with new stuff, so drop by whenever! I'll be sure to check out your works as well, although I'm not much of a reviewer.

[FaeryQueen]

im not much of one as well! to be honest, i only review works that i find interesting, no offense to everyone and anyone

I believe in humanity before calamity

Love this line. Acceptance of the human condition? or rage against it?
Why Why Why?
Do we not seek to join the embers of a dying sun to know ourselves as having existed?

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

That line is a little bit of both actually. There is more than one truth, more than one answer for most questions in life.
I don't understand why humanity can't stand together. I can only hope we'll eventually get off our asses and do so sometime in the future.

[Siddhidatri Pande]

That was much of a positive attitude. Well done

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

Thank you!

[wordman]

life goes on,greed rises and the hunger for power prevails
we cry out in anger but they hide behind the bills we let them pass

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

Thanks for the review wordman, always like to hear what you have to say.

You describe things so beautifully that readers feel that everything is happening in front of them. The poem has a perfect start and a perfect end. It ends beautifully with "To face everything as unforgiving, and horribly unlovable, as reality". But don't you think that reality is sometimes very awesome? ...At least I believe that.
Yesterday I was just wishing to read a new poem and look you came up with a new one! I am really feeling very good at this coincidence.

Thank You for sharing! It really refreshed me. I will be completing my new artwork within a few days, I will share it soon.

Good luck for the next one.

Your right, reality can be beautiful, but it can also be harsh. Life is wonderful, but in my opinion, reality is sometimes horrible. We don’t have much say in how we perceive things. One person might be happy with living a certain life while another may not. While life is something malleable, that can change for the better, and be shaped through effort and care, reality is that cannot change unless the life of the person experiencing it changes. If you are living in a reality that causes suffering, nothing will change unless the world around you changes your mindset, through you, or outside of you. I consider reality to be the way we perceive our lives. While reality can be beautiful, it cannot be changed. Only a changed triggered by experience can change our beliefs on good and bad, right or wrong. But if it doesn’t, then neither will your reality. This is more of an opinion than anything, so don’t take it too seriously. And don’t worry, I know reality can be great. But it can also be cruel and unfair, and worse, unchangeable. Thank you for always reading my poems and supporting me. You, your art, poetry, and attitude brighten my reality.

You try too hard. In every way I mean that.

Shorten this, cut down the whole "macho I know better" act... it'll read be better.

I mean no offense... but you sound like a scorned wannabee tough guy teenager with a vocabulary. And that's not a good look.

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

I'm not offended, I understand that this poem isn't for everyone, but I'm happy with it. Although I might modify it in the future, at the moment I'm content with what I've written. Still, I appreciate and respect your opinion. I know there are many people who aren't a fan of this type of poem. Being as subjective as poetry is, anything I write could be a hit or a miss for anyone. Hopefully in the future I can write something that is more up your alley.
