don't patronize me and treat me like I'm stupid do you really think you're better than me? which one of us has three degrees learns languages for fun and can put together IKEA furniture? hint: it's not you the one who laughs at the idea of college mocks foreigners and can't even screw in a lightbulb do not underestimate me you won't win

A stubborn, fiery woman will win every time. As I should. 😏

Years of
being #patronized
makes me less likely
to indulge in
conversation
with him
I do not need
a TED talk
when I mention
an interest I have
I will seek out ones
who are interested
in what I have to say

the #warmth of memories escapes with the chill of tears. suffering #clove from joy, a child's mind interpreting violence as love; split by going back when it's too late to matter - too distant to heal. a youngling #patronized by a callous unloving; a decoupled self

Running,
patronized
for the last time,
gaslighting burnt
through skin,
devoured by words
and eyes always
on
me;

Crawling,
clawing,
removing all bits
of earth between me
and the door,
I’ll swim through all
that bourbon again
just for silence

a galvanized bucket was bent
dulled with weather and use
i never made excuses nor did bucket
we were similar in this kicked around regard
luck fits fuck it we said why patronize an inevitability
seems silly to do aways playing in haze

THROUGH BLUE-TINTED GLASSES I've been looking at the universe through blue-tinted glasses. The years become minutes and the seconds become eternities. They tell me the world has been ending for the past twenty six years while I've been telling myself the same thing for thirty seven. I sometimes see tumors growing in the sky and they all resemble the things I imagine when my brain metamorphoses into dark matter. I'm patronizing the mud puddles for the warmth they drown and I'm diving into the silence of an angry song where nothing will find me, not even the vultures.

Pessimism and anxiety is a vicious cycle, especially combined with social media and the modern news cycle.

for #warmth & stimuli
the darktopus fiddles
with it's digits

it #patronizes the same porn store as I
eatin' skittles
while it fidgets

I asked if simultaneously being the 8th wonder of the world & the 8th deadly sin
did #lasciviousness ever fit in
it just grinned

In spite of being
Patronised and ridiculed
I chose to remain
Remembering the warmth we
Used to share freely

I have helped old people cross roads,
Now it's me who needs a hand.
So please don't patronise me;
Help me. Thank you.

#Patronized

a thought
for those who disdain:

I get it
my ideas seem silly
absurd
even fantastical

a wildfire's touch
on a tundra plain

and well I know
the refuge
of cold

but consider
just a moment
the cost of looking down

as frozen hearts
seek their fire

#emoetry

#Obvious disdain
you #watch me #crawl to my #seat
often #patronized
there's no #warmth to #retreat to
I #recommend you fuck off

his father spoke
like every breath
was a favor

every word
meant to remind
who stood above

patronized
was the polite word

the truth was a mean man
teaching a child
to doubt every step

“The world has changed since you were young, that’s for sure. Maybe I could recommend some books or websites to help you to catch up on?” Bill said, thinking the best thing they could be doing was to learn more about the different countries around the area. He knew Brazil was close, and Venezuela and Cuba, and Mexico, but he didn’t really know much about them. “Yeah, we don’t fight with swords anymore,” Antin chimed in. “I have been reading about the broad strokes of history,” Tannamir said. “The language is so different from when I was young. But the computers here can show me documents in my native language, which is wonderful.” Antin sighed. “Well, the world seems to consist of an absurd collective of leaders – playing dice with us regular folk.” “We’re not exactly regular folk anymore Antin.” Bill looked up where Ar’Thyl and Nyx were intently watching them, “No, I know. But unjust, patronizing leaders upset me, like that ship. They clearly thought they knew the truth. And used weapons to try to put us down.” Nyx hrmph’d. Aludim, we were great! We stopped the Shadow from influencing those people. You and Bill did that. You both proved yourself as capable of being true leaders in the future. Ar’Thyl added. Bill looked up. “I find it suspicious that you two are ganging up on us!”

We are not, Aludim! Ar’Thyl feigned innocence. We just think you two think too little of yourselves. And are slow. Nyx added, before he turned from view. “Oh, the warmth from our Aludims!” Antin said, looking at Nyx where he cowered behind Ar’Thyl. “What do you mean slow?” Tannamir watched the whole scene thoughtfully, but he slapped his stick three times on the floor. “We were here to discuss the attack. I think we’ve gotten out of task.” “Sorry, councillor.” Bill said. Nyx and Ar’Thyl straightened and Antin came up to the front with Bill again. “Ar’Thyl shared images of the event with us. Except for what I just witnessed here in this chamber, I agree with your Aludims assessment. You two have proved yourself capable of greatness, on par with the other young Aludim.” He looked up as Zhe’ra and Castor came in. Zhe’ra looked at the gathered Edroth and the three humans. “Humanity of this age is like a gorse. Pretty and full of thorns, clamoring to anything. But when beaten down, they come back stronger.” #VSSFantasy Dice #VSS365 Warmth #VSSDaily Document #VSSMagic Gorse #Emoetry Patronized #WIPSnips Recommend #WeirdMicro Absurd collective

Only the emperor of dreams
is never patronized
looked down upon
is always spoken to
with gilded words
is lifted shoulder high
by those whose
loyalty will never die
wearing a garland of golden leaves

#emoetry #patronized

is this life a maze or a labyrinth? chaos or order. endless twists & turns around corners. an invisible cord, a pulling gravity. what will we find? an overworked topiary—a monstrous minotaur? a golden egg at path’s center? paradox of life.

#vssdaily #vss365 #emoetry #bravewrite #wildwalkprompt

Overworked My coffee is still hot— which means the day has barely begun and already BlueSky is asking questions. Another prompt. Another clever reply. Another tiny performance for the invisible crowd. My fountain pen sighs from the corner of the desk— neglected while I labor in the mines of BlueSky. Even the Stoics would admit: a man can become overworked trying to be wise three hundred characters at a time.

Poetry in 300 characters? Even a Stoic feels overworked.

#Patronized by the #Absurd_collective,
My eyes narrow at their #moral_uncertainty
over the virtues of abstaining from dropping
weasels down women's waistpants & rights
and I begin anew the #procedural_mutter
To get these gang of clowns disbanded.

Overworked is the writer full of words,
Overworked is the editor culling words.
Thank goodness the weekend's here!
Let's party and communicate sans words
until Monday come with all its curses.

my #lasciviousness
ain't usually rude

unless it's #overworked

I often speak belligerently
& lewd

but if the steaks are dry
they shoulda been jerked

& not called fine food

I don't underestimate

people or love

cuz they've turned #corners

I've never heard of

#dansa #poetry #overworked #emoetry #poem #capitalism

the love of a king shows in the people
overworked trust destroys his
temple

a true ruler cares for every heart
the devotee, from silence, is first heard

#PoemsAbout #Consent and #emoetry

#Inseparable my thighs once
#overworked the corduroy
#fight the tight
rub with might
til #porous & threadbare
could hear me comin' round the #corner
enter rebounder
bounce away the hours
no more junk food
instead I buy me #flowers
