Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

by He’s Brian K Compton

Rated: 18+ · Book · Spiritual · #1149750

10k views, 2x BestPoetryCollection. A nothing from nowhere cast words to a world wide wind

Like one of those adventure games where you go off questing in different directions but you don’t advance like the others. You earn pretty medallions gallantly while other players buy, sell and trade at market to get ahead without moving an inch. Slow burn…hey? You’d rather keep your dignity, or try to figure out their game. That’s where you really get lost. Game full of misdirects leads right back to start over and over. You could have stayed on your quest. Now, you have this.

Redacted, censored, gaslighted…must be doing something right, my old boss would say. I’m not a sociopath, he tells himself. Equal parts, then? Mom should have had me tested. Because, life of turmoil produces stuff like this. Not going to call it beautiful agony…it gets a bit ugly.Tap on them. It’s part of the quest…see where I’ve been; see who I am:

Right. I redact myself. The beautiful mess you made. Who are you?
If I’ve been denied the right of knowledge, I’ve earned the right to judge.
|
Without knowledge, who’s to judge?
|
No gavel; no voice.

"...politely reedy but ambitiously eclectic—moving effortlessly from hen-picking and bottleneck slides to a full deck of chucka-chucka rhythm figures."

I had a lover's quarrel with the world - Robert Frost
|
I'm sorry you got caught in the middle.

*Neurodivergent poet.
*Don’t judge/hate. I love.
*Honesty without mincing words.
*Dump your prejudice outside my door. Hope you leave it on the way out.
*Nothing to fear but people who surround themselves with rules, can’t be touched.
*Real dialogue accepted.

My words collect, arrange on a kaleidoscope spectrum. The true experience/acknowledgment of my writing yet to come...long after I’ve left WDC, am dead, or both.

Truly been a blessing, but I've been pushing it — envelope, push world and all inhabitants away, push buttons to find boundaries, having no clue or told where they lie, where I've lived in your dark. Now and then, push dirt out of this hole; someone/thing/entity might envision me the way I need to be viewed. (if I knew what that was. Cryptic, I know. Try living in my dark, find comfort amid the strange, virtual walls that tempt me to try).
*The parenthetical lawyer up?

Foot free, I’m all over the place.

"Note: Poetry: life’s little interruptions amassing int..."

Best Poetry Collection 2X, nominated three years. What does it mean? I was enjoying myself, head bagged. A happy idiot. Something messed with that. I won’t be a coward; not starting feuds or wars over ideals and beliefs. We all know that’s a pile of crap packaged with dreams of pretty things to sell the next boob that walks by.

Been more than I could imagine or expect. My achievements aren’t going on a LinkedIn wall. But, I get it. You're sick of me. It's how I feel about myself when I dig deeper, push boundaries. Don’t care my words that aim for honesty, either brave or veiled cowardice, flinchingly flung, inadvertently hit a target. Get a back off shoulder shot for asking your motivations to write…won’t get me to bend over backwards to appease, again.

There’s no prize to eye, not properly incentivized. So, does it mean when dealt the worst two cards before the flop, do the best with what you got? Yeah, rigged. Yeah, other tables — other ‘games’. But, something in my gut I’ll never be rid.

My Pluggers:
You are an icon here.
You suffer, but you suffer brilliantly. Wow, what a great writer.{/blue}

It’s like plugging myself, but using other people’s (reviewers) words…Review of "Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋"

Your poetic muse is on fire! Some great emotion, well-balance(d), lovely lyrical qualities -- even the ones that were written out of sadness or anger came through in a clever cadence…It's obvious you've put a lot of work into each entry and the totality of the blog has eye appeal.

Published four times with one a literary journal, including…

"The Tender Core (Sedona)"

I don’t submit because it’s too much work. Truly alone, know no one cares to show they believe/support me. Lip service feeds delusion. I’ve seen a lot of smoldering and snow. Try not be cynical, work hard at openness and consideration — work, sooo…gut thing.

All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

No specific aim going forward (2014) ▼

What I used to say: 'Maybe, I just don't get it. Watch me fumble with my version of reality, expose ignorance as truth. You don't have to get me, either. But, wish someone would explain me to myself.' Now I say:

Now: I was such a whore.

This is old….
What? Oh, this? A rhetorical, self-motivational speech I'm working on.
Don't just read the parts to construct your theory, as if to confirm (construed out of context) your opinion, mentally-stunted Neanderthal. Therapist wants me to be less negative toward myself. I see it as attacking, rather than being defensive. Fear I will chomp too many bullets unintentionally sent toward the unsuspecting.
If you can be triggered for stupid reasons, then I?
…just looked like me rolling around on the floor with myself.

"Prose And Dead Men"

"Wake"

What Was NEW

"Worldwide Birdbox"

"Aim, Misfired"

"Aim Of The Moon's Glow"

Who am I, you ask? My mirror knows that question, repeated daily.

Just trying to create a little buzz, not boost my ego.

In response to "Another Nirvana Coming"

I love that. Whether good or bad, everything and anything can create beauty…or ugly, interpreted as another’s treasure.

We all have responses, value…just not control of the volume knob to this, or outside world…stifled, muffled, acting out incorrectly before hearing myself. #ampprobs in restricted space/company.

Fully engulfed in neurodivergent waters since and before my brother’s passing in February…with apertures of time and space expansion, unable to fill the void with myself these days.

I was 100% in, before I was swept out, but never gave/give up writing. It is the backseat I’m always relegated to sit upon, with all these voices posturing to lessen (attempt to?) the harmonies I desire to construct/provide, albeit ‘judgment free’. It’s never my right place or time, a kaleidoscope ever shifting from the slightest...

Into the blue again…

Don’t ever underline my correctly spelled words, Apple, mf-ers.

In response to "Another Nirvana Coming"

Good thoughts, sir. I'm currently so obsessed with a song, Eyes Closed by Imagine Dragons, that I find myself like a hammer seeing what nails I can ruthlessly apply the lyrics to

your words about a cage and the four walls reminded me. Sometimes one has to retreat within oneself and fight internal battles. This can lead to the creation of new beauty to share and connect with others.

Take care

I like (redacted). Enter it somewhere?
As for the rest... no comment... I'm clueless.

Gave it a right tightening

New inspiration?

In response to "Another Rekindled Sunrise (of no surprise)"

I love the cadence.

I really like the use of words and images in:

Thoughts
entertain a soul
not ready for bed
in this quiet undead
void of endless night meandering

I often have problems sleeping (too much coffee?}

At the start I'm reminded of the oily ring around the bathtub that needed to be scrubbed. No bathtub here, but I have scrubbed the floor and wall tiles (with bleach) *ack*.

In response to "Atrophizing (made up)"

Added a few items recently, but down to 126.

Everything I have is either handwritten, typed in DocX, Apple notes and on dry erase boards…all dated, some signed, and some catalogued on hidden Amazon books I don’t want to release until perfect. Tedious, I know. I don’t imagine I’ll have anything left that this website can claim its own. When the conversion comes?

No. Need fresh material daily. One website closed up and just hired the best writers, bloggers to stay on, produce content. I got my stuff of that. Another, locked me out…actually two, and still shared my writes without compensation…Associated Content and Bleacher Report. Got AssCon to let me back into my account, but couldn’t edit anything on there.

Lessons learned.

Deleting down the days.

In response to "rose hips and swimming trunks"

I miss this great comment. I spend a lot of time in the gym and I am an aggressor and physical athlete and yet I don’t subscribe to testosterone, fueled behavior and posturing by insecure men who likely were affected by strong male role models who were also ignorant. I love that there are soft and hard sides to me that round me out. And my mind is open to any idea or concept and ready to speak to it at any time. So many guys, just walk away when I broach any uncomfortable subject. That is what makes them weak.

I could probably do a whole essay on this. I have so many experiences from my formative years until now. I could probably even do a Ted talk and rants like an angry man and then speak softly to the crowd and show them how I can control both emotions without being a Neanderthal. I always find one guy I can needle and pester with topics. He doesn’t want to hear it, and it’s fun to watch him cringe. It’s nothing intrusive, I’m just one of those people that likes to push buttons/boundaries where people need to see themselves in a mirror. I am only doing it to enlighten them to their situation so they can see that there is more to life than being a caveman.
