Desperate Needs

Slightly transfixed by your smile,
Your not quite the norm tho are you?
Still, I'll gaze on for a little while,
Maybe I'll see your point of view.

Times in desperate need
Are calling out to me
We still find you on the floor
Cut and bruised like before

What happened to the love I once knew?
Caught up in your indecisive views
Shaded pointed heart misused
Unravelling thoughtfull cryptic clues

Times in desperate need
Are calling out to me
We still find you on the floor
Cut and bruised like before

Save the tears for aborted fears
Times so close but never near
Stumbled upon yet another year
Almost found your way my dear

Times in desperate need
Are calling out to me
We still find you on the floor
Cut and bruised like before

Gone the days when you strayed
Loved the ones who misbehaved
Words chosen but then delayed
Seeking new dreams for today

Times in desperate need
Are calling out to me
We still find you on the floor
Cut and bruised like before

I Can't Tell You Why.....

I'm tired and emotional, But I can't tell you why.. I can't bare what you'll say to me, I can not watch you cry..... But I can't do this anymore, I cant look in your eye..

Incomplete

Into muddy waters My vision now blurred I am speaking But I don't think you heard I am exhausted Too weak to now fight The words won't come As my throat constricts tight Is this it.

How Many?

How many times do I have to say sorry until you realize I meant it. How many times do I have to shed tears for you to realize I'm broken as you are.

All The Things I Can't Say

So many feelings. My heads hit the ceiling. I don't know how to say. But I feel I'm being made to pay. You said you wanted me. All I wanted was for you to see. The messed up shell. The months of hell.

Go Away

#youngwritershousehold No oxygen, No air, How am I meant to breathe. Nothing here, Nor there, I'll just sit and seethe. You took away, My breath, And with it my life.

Alone And Unwanted

I feel alone, Though you are right beside me. You make me feel strange, odd and unwanted. I hope it's all inside my head and that you love me really, For I love you, even though you may not love me.

Hiding My Tears

I won't let you see them. They aren't yours to treasure. Watching me cry, Gives you some sort of pleasure. My tears are a sign, Of frustration and pain. Once you had seen them, You want them again.

@aleishagayle20 haha :-p xx

@becominghuman thank you, appreciate it :-)

This is good, nice work @smellyfingers

Superb Sir :)

@smellyfingers 😜

@smellyfingers wowsers! Beautiful x

Wasn't sure how else to contact you discreetly, but got a question I could do with some advice on? Just regarding the old plagiarism thing..πŸ˜” Hence reason I've don't this via an old post of yours!

don't read done

@Fly10 sure babe what's up? I have kik btw (instant messenger thingy app)

I'm not on kik. A post just appeared in my feed, one of those that just doesn't sit right when compared to authors other work y'know? Found the obvious original, which in fairness, had been altered quite a bit. However, it's clear the inspiration & core of wording came from someone else's piece. If I give you details of original piece will you take a read & see what you think? After the furor that arose last time I raised this, I'm not sure how to deal with it, or to even bother tbh. It's the principle that bugs me(maybe I shouldn't be so principled?!) πŸ˜”

@Fly10 oh ok (get kik, lol it's freeπŸ˜‰) sure thing babe, gimme the info and I'll deal with it hehehe πŸ‘

Poem called American Eweth (should come up if you just google that) on a site deepundergroundpoetry.com Let me know your thought before action! Thanks 😚😘

@Fly10 ok read it babe (great poem) what/who is opuss member?

Search for Opuss 'Let's Control'...& you'll see why it's potentially difficult to broachπŸ˜”

@Fly10 Jesus Christ! It's taking the piss now!! Im gonna delete the old messages on this feed incase others find it. Yes it's plagiarism, blatant with a word or 2 changed but same subject matter, same lines in the same places. Wtf?? Let her dig her hole a little and I'll raise it with Seamonster πŸ‘

@smellyfingers It's not the only one-there are stacks more she's done the same thing with. Usually off other obscure websites, with a similar theme to Opuss ie new & unknown, but TALENTED writers. What I can't understand though, is how I'm the only one to see it?? Its so obvious when you read the kind of comments on feeds(you generally get an idea of someone's grammar etc) but also the general flow & use of words within some of the pieces-just don't sit right. And the most obvious is that no-one, no matter how talented, can possibly produce that amount of such diverse work EVERY day ie 6-7 post at a time. My worry is that the creators of this site, may prefer to overlook all this in order to not rock the boat. She won't be the only one doing it-I know that. But to get to No. 1 on the back end of other people's work just stinks 😠

@smellyfingers You may notice, she's been a little cleverer in her response to comments in the feed for that post...

P.S You may notice she's been a little cleverer in her response to comments on last post..one in particular about people doing their 'research' ? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but think she maybe covering her ass, so to speak..

@Fly10 I think for me anyways, the reason being is I don't go on other sites so I'm unaware of others work ect. Seamonster is on kik and I'll raise it with him and let him decide, then I'm gonna post the original and give credit to the author, I'll rock the friggin boat, lol it's damn right wrong and deceitful and dishonest! Thanks for raising it with me! I suppose if you are honest and a writer you expect others to be too so this kind of thing goes unseen/unnoticed?? I agree with the writing style you mentioned tho. I just find it quite sad really!!! 😘

@Fly10 yes I noticed that too, so where is the mention of original author or that it's inspired elsewhere???? All it takes is 1 line, IMO she taking the piss now!!!

@smellyfingers Exactly it. If I saw my work copied like that, I'd be gutted. Sadly there are so many amateur poetry sites, it's easy for people to just search & copy what they fancy. It's pretty obvious to me, that certain people spend their day doing exactly that, in order to maintain their position. If boss man doesn't deal with it properly this time, I'm off. Thanks for your support in the matter ❀😘😚

You know what? I'd have actually let it go if it was just a couple of lines. But it's the equivalent to a film remake!! A variation on a theme, all from someone else's idea. And like I said, if you read back & compare, it's clearly NOT the only one😠

Final point to raise on this one-averaged 10 posts per day over last week, all with wide & varied themes/subject matter. Not possible, for even Wordsworth, Yeats or Shakespeare!

@Fly10 it has been deleted babe, she getting a nasty email from big boss and altho I didn't mention your name (didn't know if you'd want me too or not) he asked me to pass on his thanks 😘 and yes I agree that amount of varied posts sustained daily is impossible (not even me can do that, altho I do have my days hahaha) πŸ‘

@smellyfingers and don't you dare go anywhere (unless it's on kik hahaha) thank you for the heads up hun, appreciate it!! You cool for me to delete these messages now (snoopers may come across them!!???) 😘

@smellyfingers Thanks for raising it & have no problem with you giving my name. Just didn't want it to cause the same problem as it did last time! I hope email from boss IS a strong one-it's the third time I've raised it with her & still going on. Will any of her other work be deleted that's copied I wonder? We'll see. And yep, fine to delete these comments😌😚 Are you still intending to post original poem by the way?! 😲

@Fly10 no worries babe!! I doubt it as boss is busy but did say if any future posts are same plagiarism to let him know and he will deal with it!! Yes a strong email sent apparently, he deleted immediately when I showed him the evidence! No I won't post original, have written a nice poem myself hahaha Mwah xxxx

@smellyfingers Personally, I thing it should be taken further than simply deleting the post. Apart from the government, no one else in such a respected position would be allowed to get away with the same deceit! And even the government would have been 'outed'. I should have written down the details of the ones I found in the past which were copied-it can sometimes take a while to track them down, even thought you know they're copied. As it stands, however, I have a life to lead & better things to do + really not my job! πŸ˜‰ On that note my friend, I shall wish you happy writing & look forward to more of your excellent, inspirational & of course, original work 😘😚😘

@Fly10 100% agree babe, the boss is aware now, hopefully they will come down hard and lets see what the post will be, if any lol. Thank you that's very kind of you and right back at you hun Mwah xxx😘
