The Things Unsavory Girls Miss Out On

Believing in innocence,
Within the world,
Within yourself,
….trusting.

Being pre-judged
Wholesome,
Intelligent,
….classy.

Behind the optic lens of a death’s head pessimist, lies the macula… retina, door to the optic nerve. Highway, as some say, to the seat of imagery in my brain. The brain, each picture links in the chain, elephant footprints, leading you through script’s, on your way to the zoo. With each gruesome glimpse, @ fingerprints of my life, I pale. I hide myself behind my vain little shell. Sinking faster than that pearl, in that bottle of Prell. I’m giving you what you need, choosing to feed my insecurity… with debauchery. Choosing to rape ideals for realistic, settle for memorable opposed to idealistic, becoming altruistic, because it’s easy and it’s fun. In short:

Never being taken,
Seriously.
Never being taken,
4 the fool.

Never being taken,
Sweetly.
Never being taken period…

Without seeing HIS face and feeling naseous.

The Things Unsavory Girls Miss Out On by

This piece is an awkward view of me. The other side to that cocky female who speaks brazenly and openly about sex, drugs and her own short-comings. It’s the little voice inside the delicate structure of my soul which tells me it’s okay to be vulnerable and mourn the childhood that was over too soon, it admits somewhere in between those lines that although one may appear to be a confident woman, this is seldom the case.

The piece that spurred this Things Nice Girls Miss Out On , could only be made more relate-able and honest through the comparison of both works. Thank you for your time. Note : Critique, no matter how short and sweet, crude or brutally honest, always accepted and appreciated .

About Edibl3leper

Originally dark blonde, shy girl with an inferiority complex. But that’s no fun now is it? Black hair, yellowy hazel eyes, a “the louder the better” mentality, and an ego the size of Detroit (as fake as my raven hair I should mention) rounds out my very normal nautre. (-: Judge me by my poetry and my writing, and you’ll know me better than 85% of the rest of the world. (-:

    So THIS is the dark side of the moon… A stark contrast to the first work. Well done.

    I’m on break from the exam; 20 more minutes til class resumes. ;) I love this piece; the ending gives me the chills, like a punch in the gut from a good poet. Beautiful work, meaningful and emotional and honest as always.

  • I’ve always wanted to punch someone metaphorically with my writing, didn’t want it to be you though. C-: lol Thanx so much.

    Yes, you did! :D Mark it on the calender! LOL I’m kidding. xp

    Yeah I’m calling you a pussy. Punch me harder, lady; make me cry! ;) But really, if you can make me cry in a poem something’s going on that’s either very right or terribly wrong. ;)

    lol I know someone named Starla.

  • She stole the nickname from my brain then (kidding, i know it’s a name I am just being possesive, lol*.

    I am glad the poem was what you thought it was, and I am totally psyched that you just typed the word pussy! Mark the calendar on that one too. LOL I’m kidding too. (-:

    Great sister piece to the nice girl poem.
    MY own favourite poem I’ve written on debauchery is
    Ode to the Wednesday night fuck . . . thought I’d share in case you want to visit a like-minded lass xxx

  • I already had it highlighted in my mental notes to peruse your page once I finished responding to comments, I try always to respond to everyone, but occasionally I fail miserably. Your encouragement could not come at a better time. Thank you.

    A punch in the gut is a very apt description of your writing. That, or an emotional bitch slap. It never really matters what the subject is, your delivery is so powerful that it’s bound to leave a handprint (or nail marks)…I admire and envy you that!!

  • OMG, here I sit eating my Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, perusing art and enjoying the lovely slurp noise the milk makes as I savor every last tid-bit of deliciousness, and suddenly I am just about knocked off the couch with two of the nicest compliments I have ever received. I am so grateful, you have no idea.

    And now I am suddenly craving Cap’n Crunch, and have none, and am too sore/tired/lazy to even walk up the stairs to scrounge for anything let alone drive to the store and buy what I want!! Waaahhh!!

  • Tags edited to now include your suggestion, and the phrase singerchick suggestions, it seemed only fair. (-: Sorry about causing the craving. Funny thing is my b/f bought a box of the Cap’n at 6 this morning on the way to drop me off. It was for his lunch, so I was craving it all day until I bought my own box only hours ago, and now I am making a pig of myself.
