Build Bob. Build
By Bryan O'Brien

Basically Bob's been burning.
Bob's breaking.
But Bob believes beings become broken,
Before being built back.

Build Bob. Build.
Bob building beautifully.
Brick by brick,
Beautifully building Bob.
Build Bob. Build.

Bob believes beauty belittles brutality,
Because beings become better
By beholding beauty.
Brutality belongs below basements.

Build Bob. Build.
Bring brashness beside beauty.
Believing being by belonging
becomes bested before betterment.
Build Bob. Build.
Because Bob's been built.

Try to tell me I'm wrong with a straight face.

You can't can you?

Feb. 21st, 2007 @ 10:48 pm keys to sanity
1. Realize the problem is affecting your relation to the world around you.
2. Own up to whatever weakness you have exhibited, without feeling weaker for it. It is natural to feel shame at times, an entirely human emotion.
3. Realize that you are the only person who can determine your behavior.
4. Proactively seek out the causes of undesired behavioral traits and make peace with them. Decide whether or not it is worth defining who you are.
5. Force yourself to avoid reoccuring behaviors that exaccerbate your condition.
6. You control you. You have survived many things, you will survive many more. All you have is yourself, your sense of calm. Only you can decide if you're happy or not. It is all determined by your perspective.
7. sanity is a state of mind, and you must be completely honest with yourself at all times, always owning up, rarely making rationalizations. Presume that you might actually be wrong.

So I go to my monthly slam, determined not to fuck up at all. Spent the whole day trying to get myself in the right mood. It gets there, place is packed. I nail all 5 poems I do. I feel good. The chick who runs it comes up to me after and asks for my phone number because she's going to start doing poetry showcases at this other bar and wants me to do one... holy shit what a beautiful day.

Breath

My bliss is synergy,
So I kiss imagery.
My breath is symmetry,
Exhale energy and empathy
Let the words empty me.
I spit vociferously,
Until I injure a simile.
I live livid and vividly,
Inhaling simply to infinity.
Exhalation is isolating.
Inhalation is resonating.
I have now grown tired of waiting,
And my passively passionate intonation,
now placidly casts my inclinations.
Breath's explanation always helps to reframe my situation.

Pen's Purpose.

My pen's purpose is reserved
to dig below the earth's surface,
until I make the world nervous.
If you heard this, then my words weren't worthless,
and just absurd blurting.
Observe the burden of learning surer wording.

My body is a pen's shell.
My soul is ink as well.
Paper stains are the words I yell,
heard worded well.
The words that hurt at first to tell
still stain the page after the ink has left the shell.
And I, inkwell
Find zen in living life like my pen
Living life until the end.
Living life up to the brink,
And when my soul runs out of ink
The paper will still say exactly what I think.
-----

Not titled yet:

The woman who want you,
Only want you,
When you don't want them.
And the women you want,
You only want,
So you can flaunt them.
So often we're told love is awesome we soften.
My exes are like hexes,
Chained to me like a necklace is.
A choker choking
Thought Provoking,
But not all thought can be spoken,
Because thought is broken.
Love is a joker's token;
Flipping, smoldering, and smoking.
Plot twist ending, sickly joking.

If I could be anywhere
I'd be a million miles away from her,
But it'd still feel like she was right there next to me.
Damn... she got the best of me
-----

Still not titled.

I believe trees
Express geometry.
Look at the patterns in the leaves.
If you can't believe,
Listen for the voices in the breeze.
The open eye recieves
What the closed mind leaves behind.
I try to find the place in my mind
Where poems reside,
Then recite what I find.
If I could I'd give sight to the blind,
In hopes it'd help me unwind.
If I could I'd have the planets align,
From Mercury to Pluto
Until I found a suitable loophole
To turn the ugly beautiful,
And have it prove immutable.
If what I'm saying sounds new to you
Try and figure what the puruit of truth could do to the roots of you.

On That:

I'm on that "dance dance televise the revolution"
My world spends seven revolutions
pursuant to solutions
confusion to absolution
Living proof of light and truth
that "risen roof" shit
I abuse it.

I'm on that "expand the lexicon"
through gamecube and "The Last Dragon"
Dragonblood Giantslayer rhymesayer
I'm satan, I swear
Mindflayer, mind flare

I'm on that "faulty phonics to rock logic"
My life is my side project
when minds honest
redefine apocalypse
Minds eye' divine hypothesis
I rock this shit.
Define confidence:
Live,
Ominous,
and on top of this

Feb. 22nd, 2006 @ 02:50 pm rant
I am fed the fuck up at this juncture. I understand exactly why I'm not friends with any of my other ex's and it's simple: by the end of a relationship one person is fucking sick and tired of the other person's shit. A friendship won't work in that sort of circumstance. Secondly, I'm fuck sick of women telling me they weren't themselves while dating me. I'm tired of falling for people who do not fucking exist. I am fucking sick of it.

I get a bad rep as a sexist, bullshit. I don't percieve women as weak, quite the contrary, I fear women because of the power they have over me. At my bitterest times it drives me to push them away because, to be perfectly honest, every asshole was once a nice guy.

IS IT TOO FUCKING MUCH TO ASK FOR A GIRL WHO CAN JUST BE HONEST?

got to see one of my heroes yesterday: Saul Williams.

At borders he was doing a reading/book signing for the dead emcee scrolls. He was answering questions too. I asked him a question that ended up getting him to recite a KRS-One verse. Then later that night I saw him do spoken word at KU. I remember everything I hated about that place, but it was nice to be there for something I didn't think I'd see anytime soon.

Got to see alot of friends too, and that is always good

Jan. 21st, 2006 @ 12:15 am what did we learn? (most likely nothing)
It's post breakup time... again and it's time to start deciphering the lesson.

Karma gets you when it can. history repeats itself. and if anyone ever cares deeply for me who I care about I'll make sure to show it through my action.

Regrets: 1, the possibility that she'll play it off that I broke up with her because she wouldn't sleep with me when that could not be further from truth. Then again, I really hope she doesn't see it that way herself.
