I Never Said It Was Good — They Did — So I Carried On

in art •  6 years ago 

Some days I feel like asking everyone who has a problem with me to step forward.

Say what's on your mind.

What You Want To See

Give everyone a chance.

To hate all at once.

It would be nice if the world could see your true colors.

Put it all in one place, all the hate, every last ounce of it, on display, for all to see; the pain, you've instilled, within me.

I never said I was anything great.  I heard the others though, when they decided not to hate.  So I carried on, hurriedly, feeling like this was my one chance, and I didn't want to be late.

What have I done?  Where has this led?  If I listened to everyone, I'd be better off dead, so I'm glad that part, never went to my head.

I hear them though, loud and clear.  Their world would be better if I wasn't here.

So come on and say it.  Show everyone the monster you see, tell them what you'd prefer me to be.  Hold open the door, tell me to leave, try to stop everyone you want to deceive while you wear hate so proudly upon on your sleeve, from getting in my way, preferring I stay.

The hate is outnumbered, ten to none, your voice is too small, it looks like I've won.

Maybe I'm wrong but my feelings are strong for this place you disgrace with your presence and face you decide to hide when a man shows pride, pushing hate to the side.

Enjoying the ride.

I'm just glad that whatever they said about anyone being dead, you did this instead.

Can't kill what's already dead anyway. Sure, you can stab it again, but it doesn't hurt.

There's a roasting idea boiling around, that should be fun and they can step forward :P

I love roasts. A lighthearted tongue lashing is always fun. The haters will still hide though.

I see several bugeyed skeletal aliens looking ready to kill, but it could be that I'm just mentally ill.

Use the Perfect Mental Health card.

I'm going to use it so hard.

I really enjoyed the rhyming, especially since earlier today I watched Bodied.

I don't even know what Bodied is. Movie? What you see across the street through the window?

Yes, it's a pirated movie so if read and you like the reviews and whatnot I'll send you a memo with the link if you want. I don't have a street view, I see our small lake and the trees surrounding it.

I swore off pirated media years ago. I'll just wait and watch for it.

Always intriguing to read through your work as I never know if I interpret correctly or understand at times but maybe that is the intention. I guess it is my daily dose of Soduko...

That is the intention. I prefer to leave things up to everyone else. Even if it's crystal clear, the words lose all actual meaning the moment they are misconstrued, so in the end, it doesn't matter.

nice poem. what on my mind? sitting here blowing vape clouds thinking i wonder if i put green and black dye in it what it would look like if i took a picture

It would look like it, but only once. You'd be able to take thousands of different pictures of the same thing.

ha

Thanks for this, the piece is superb... Link for higher quality image?

Thanks for being there, thanks for making #actual-content, thanks for being just slightly insane and having a wacky sense of humor.

Oh, and sorry 'bout Yesterday - my mind was in a weird place at the time.

When my mind turns, begins to rhyme, I know I'm running out of time. Life seems so great, as if without hate, but them haters be hating, like graters be grating.

...

What? Someone needs to do some grating if we want some good salad.

No worries. I wasn't in the mood, combined with never being in the mood for certain things. You crossed a line, so I redrew the line and put up a sign. Not a big deal.

Fair enough. For future reference - is necrophilia past the line, on the line, or just weird?

I had to ask. Got to know if I need to cancel on those zombie hookers.

What do I want to see? A lady draped in a cloak off to the right side, softly whispering words to a prayer. A fist at the top with a long fingernail pointing. The sound of water slowly trickling down layers of rock. One big picture of peace.

Or snot. A lot of snot. No, I don't want to see that - let's stick with the above.

It's not snot, but it could be snottiness wrapped in envy while being blinded by the all-mighty dollar. Of course, it's not that either, because it wouldn't be like me to put that much thought into swirly green lines.

I did stash a few things in there. Some writing, a deformed face, a few other things. The name has to do with the color many of us holding crypto would like to see in the markets, plus a few other things.

Now you are getting complicated and I like it :)

I think I do see the deformed face. I see a lot of x-ray images in there. I guess that goes along with the inside on the outside subject.

I could change formats and become the sophisticated swirly green line painter of things. Combine imagery with intelligence, like so many others before me. Staying hidden and not making sense is more fun though, for me. What would people say if I gave them all the answers?

That inside on the outside stuff is seen quite often around here.

If you became the sophisticated swirly green line painter of things, then you wouldn't need an interpreter, and that would be a lot less fun for me. Although I guess you don't need interpretations, but I really like forcing them on you.

It would be cool if more folks came along to chime in about what they see. Part of the reasoning behind leaving things open to interpretation is to encourage engagement. If I say everything needed to be said, then there's nothing left to say; and that means this land is a ghost town.

We're a little early for celebrating Festivus (Seinfeld reference). Has the airing of grievances begun?

I think it would be interesting to see it all in one place. Those types are too cowardly though. This post could have been hundreds of quotes but I didn't feel like mentioning names or digging through the past. It all adds up though and I think if they could see it for themselves, they'd feel as low as they attempt to make me feel.

There should be a more direct and constructive way.

How do you make things rhyme so easily O_O I can't remember if I had such trouble back when I did write poetry but I know it's a struggle now XD

Just use simple words... LOL!

I see beauty and love in your digital art. Thanks for sharing my friend.
