Droning on of my Rant.

Soooo. I've been writing a bit lately, and thought maybe people would like to read them, perhaps give a bit of feedback. Each poem will begin after this, with the name of the Poem in the sub title. Thanks(:

Your actions say one thing,
your words, something much different.
All the mixed signals,
all the awkward silences.
Just tell me how it is,
either pull me into an embrace
or send me packing.
Either be my lover or the villian:
you cant have it both ways,
Mr. Contradictory.
I love you,
yet I hate you.
Thanks for making my life difficult,
I really mean it.
Talk about me,
then deny it.
Either be my lover or the villain:
you cant have it both ways,
Mr. Contradictory.
Tell me, tell me, tell me,
please tell me the truth
of your feelings:
either how you view me as a fool
or a perfect angel;
you cant be neutral,
you cant sympathize with both.
Either be my lover or the villain:
you cant have it both ways,
Mr. Contradictory.

Foggy and cloudy,
murky and none too clear.
(better run, boy)
My thoughts and feelings are in a jumble,
worse than the aftermath of a 7.2 earthquake.
Flee, flee, flee!
You make me feel,
you get under my armor,
the barriers I put up against society.
Flee, flee, flee!
terrible people, we are:
a race of judges and criminals-
either you have it or you dont.
Flee, flee, flee!
Not to clear, lies and the clouds are moving in.
Thunder and lightening-
run for your lives!
Flee, flee, flee!
Run from the winds and rain,
scream out your lungs until
the blood roars in your ears.
Flee, flee, flee!
You're just another among the body count,
we're all just statistics-
no individuality, not even
a semblance of it.
Flee for your sanity!

Great conversation,
a real discussion of..
absolutely nothing.
Nothing of major importance,
just of something to say-
to hear ourselves talk.
I must say,
you have a lovely voice.
Pay attention to the hidden meanings,
not the obvious.
We're amazing, eh?
Totally and utterly,
we're just absolutely fantastic.
Fake smiles,
fake laughter,
is anything real anymore?
No, no, no.
Our society is built on lies,
falsehoods,
and secrets.
Talk about the dead-
they cant begin to defend themselves.
Fight against death
when it has it's barbs and hooks in you.
Love with all your heart
when you cant even begin to love yourself.
We're the master race, species:
nothing is better than us.
We're humans:
shallow, uncaring, unthinking, robotic humans.

Blow out your ears,
just make the world disappear.
(shut up)
When life isnt worth living,
just turn your music up loud,
and let them go f*ck themselves.
(shut up)
When they wont leave you alone,
ignore and resist the urge
to punch them in their motherf*cking face.
Shut up
keep walking, turn the other cheek-
the the bigger person.
Shut up.
Believe in yourself,
when even your parents dont.
When your idols and higher beings
dont come through for you,
blow out your ears and shut up.
Tell the antagonists to shut up,
the world, society-
shut the f*ck up!

[Niest]

Running, but going nowhere.
Quicken your pace to match the molasses stream during winter.
Tell a lie when the truth is safer.
Prove yourself when no one doubted you.
Flee when there is victory within sight,
it's upon the blood red horizon.
Learn when ignorance is bliss-
it's the simple things.
Keep it to yourself-
talking about it only makes fantasy real.

Pearly white scars that will never heal.
A wound that will never close-
stitches or otherwise.
A vacancy in your mind where Sanity once reigned.
An old memory dredged up by a normal scenario-
one you encounter everyday.
It left, the moment passed, but you live in the past-
can't live for the moment, let the dice roll.
I need control, but I've long since lost it.

[Niest]

A scream splits the night air.
An old anger surfaces, adrenaline overrules.
You run, eyes wild and crazy as you go.
They will be your's, oh, yes they shall.
The cry comes from another direction,
had they moved?
Had to find them, where had they gone?
Stumble blindly on, the enemy of sanity commands.
Lost. Lost in the maze of your mind,
old memories haunting your dreams.
Lost.

[Niest]

The taunting, the teasing-
does it make you feel superior?
I'm already a nobody,
I dont need you to point it out.
I dare defend myself,
say something back,
and I get ridiculed for that, too.
Let it go,
but you still make a point of excluding me.
How would you like it?
Arrogant, cocky jerks like you
wouldn't last a minute in my shoes.

[Niest]

The bragging,
the boasting,
the roars and cheers of the drunken crowd.
Victory, sweet victory.
Its all about you-
how you led the team-
how the team is above you.
But, I see through it.
You're a self centered brat,
living only for the moment and yourself.

Isnt that what the world is about?
Winning, praise, and talking shit.
Yes, you're a model citizen.
Cheat, lie, and play your way to the top-
it's expected of you.
A smile on your face as you accept the
trophy you didn't earn-
but whose keeping track?

Cheerleaders in short skirts,
make sure you flirt.
Brag, though it's not a big deal-
but to society and your big head it is.
It's only good for growing hair
and storing your super-sized ego;
would you like fries with that?

[Niest]

Looks, Nooks, and pocket books.
Judging a useless book by it's cover.
How dare we?
But, society and skyscrapers built us,
modeled us from silly putty-
all conformists and alike.

Just puppets on a string,
unthinking and unfeeling-
except the usual lust and greed,
we have those in extremes.

[Niest]

Smoke and mirrors,
jump through the hoop.
Catch the reward they toss,
bask in the praise.
Three cheers for doing your job,
fulfilling your obligations.
You read the script like a pro.
