Go Away Spray

Bugs can only be killed from pressure and poison
demons can only heal when they don't let the noise in
bodys only hate themselves when hunger is an enemy,
can you let me be?
I've got nobody
And the lights are always off at my home
I'm too ugly to take a picture with my phone,
And I'm too stupid to be here
I'm too strong to feel the fear
You can't cry, it will make you weak
You can be the backbone and defeat..
All the people who are mean to the ones that you love
But who will fight for you?
That's when the bug spray comes through.

Comments

of bugs you are talking about. Are they the kind that bug you?
And what kind of spray do you use for those?
I would start the poem off with the lines "Can you let me be?"
The previous lines just don't seem to be relevant to the poem.
Nice start! ~ Geezer.

A big thank you for everyone who reads and comments on my poetry.I try to read everyones also.I'm not on much,my bad,but when i am i try to read every kind comment,which is exactly what they are and more and it gives me more than a smile to know some of my poetry touch others as other poets whose poems i read touch me also. That's,to me,is what poetry is about,along with other things,but i try to see this crazy,fun yet,mixed up world from a view that's my own vison.Call me strange,i am,call me weird,i am and yet i'm glad to be those 2 things because being the same as everyone else isn't fun.We all need to stay true to ourselves in realisum,imagination and creativity.We can only make ourselves happy and in my eyes and opinion,poetry is like a world that opens up with a powerful world of feelings,emotions,expression and we all share that world as poets,yet in our own ways and that's why we need to share,touch people and open our hearts to let words our hearts create by themselves be written by our hearts and not from just words to make a poem sound or read good.I'm a regular person whose passion has always been writing poetry froma kid and on and if i can touch a person with my poetry as others have touched me with theirs then it's so worth the beating of my heart to create the feelings & emotions that express the realisum of a real person.Hope that all came out right...lol....Exhausted,but so blessed to be on this site,write from my heart and read other poets work that are written from their hearts.Bare with me as i come on as much as i can and love reading others poetry as i'm so flattered and grateful that my poetry is also read as well.God bless

I like the metaphor of bug spray (pressure and poison, etc). a good meditation on dealing with demons, mean people, and other things that bug you
