I Love You

---------------

My longing breaks my heart so hard

I don't know where to go

I love

I love

I love you

No seeds of mine were sown

In anguish, I now hang my head

I wish it wasn't so

I love

I love

I love you

Where did our us just go?

I miss

I miss
I miss

I miss

Our nights--

My heart in tow

I love

I love

I love you

Where did your passion go?

--------------------

Writers' Block

------------------

Something simple sounds so sweet

Such sounds astound us like such treats

I try and write and try, repeat

But something simple sounds so sweet

------------------

My Religion

----------------

Live, love, and let it happen

No hate

No fear

I keep my world clear

No hate

No fate

Don't reciprocate

No God to say no

Yes, no

No hate for the pain

It keeps me sane

I'm a big mayn

If you got a problem

You're the one to blame

I'm just say'n

-------------------------

Protruding Points

----------------------

A question raised to bury me

As eyes that spy my sanity

Compel and, well, admonish me

To sell a tale that I can't see

I trend with grin in sending sin

I do not wait

I do not give

I live

Forever more, I live

I don my shield, sword, helm, and, shiv

I live

Forever more, I live

A spell from hell, this wanton witch

That aims to claim flame, shaming me

A beast--a blunt, un-blotted pregnant dog--

Now shudders at sights set on she

Of need, protruding points now swing

-----------

Haiku 3

----------

I sit alone with

Many friends, as my life turns

Before my visage

-----------

Haiku 1

----------

As I rage tonight,
Whispers, so sudden, betray
My greatest wishes
---------------------------
Two lines of poetry
------------------------
This clenched fist upon my swollen heart
Blows candles before fires start
------------------
For A Friend
----------------
I cannot blame the night
For wrongs it did not right
I only wish I'd known
I couldn't help him home
His cyst is his
He fights alone

So many thoughts Scattered together

I had to read it over a few times

Relax and take your time

Poetry should not be rushed

Or crowded

Or rather 2. I posted 2 like that. I think... Either way, just read each section as an indiviual poem, all written at different times of my life. These are a select few of the ones that I'm proud of

Not sure why, but a post is missing. Let me try this again. Vanna, you seem to be mistaken. This is not one, single poem. It is a collection of several that I have written over the years. I posted, I believe, 2 like this. You definitely commented on the other one. Try reading it again, taking into account that every time there is a new title, you are reading a completely different poem. That would explain why there are different thoughts, scattered. Different poems have different thoughts...

Can't hellp but be offended by such negative criticism, either way.

Hi Belle!

I'm not commenting here about the poetry, just using a public post to let you know that you are unable to receive further private messages. You may want to check your PM inbox and delete some of the older ones. I was trying to send you a PM with some information that I thought you might find useful since we are both living in Houston.

If you decide you are interested in some useful trans related information about Houston, send me a PM and I can send you what I was going to send earlier.

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍
    • Susan R
      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷
