Reality Bites?

I’m shallow for the deep,

I’m too deep for the shallow.

I sleep but never rest,

I eat but never really sure to digest.

I come to check what’s in my mind,

all I see is just a hollow ground.

You can’t be serious if you are dumb,

can’t be funny when you are numb.

I wear something tight

to know what’s right

and get loose

to forget what I have lost.

I crumble to pieces when I’m a mess

and pick it up when I’ve figured out the ways.

It’s always been like this

in the story of my days;

I jump out and scream

when I’m happy not just with ice creams,

I let out a sigh

when everything is all too high,

I cry and moan

when I can no longer hold on

but I can’t afford to lose hope

every time I get off the loop.

I’m going round and round,

circling my bound,

a usual incident

in my life’s natural stint.

Reality bites?

It’s us who think and give its fangs.

It’s my mind that makes all the blur

It’s my heart that paralyzes the door.

It is I that’s making it work

It is I that can stop it short.

I don’t love to hate

I just love to think.

Don’t tell me, you’re still expecting to be cute

When you’re dealing with your thoughts?

I forget the world

when I’m traversing this fold.

I need to gather my strengths

to smoothen my lapses.

I got to have my wits

to defy my fits.

All I am is nothing but myself,

a fool standing up for her beliefs.

I talk to myself once in awhile

to check if I’m still alive.

Truth is, the sarcasm is all worthwhile

in knowing that I’m still alright.

I guess my insanity

wants to resign

but willing to show up

in case I need some back up.

We can’t be all too sane

to stay up in this jammin’

I hope this time we won’t fail,

Yeah, it’s a deal!

Hail Poetry!

by kris10na ☮♥☺ Thoughts (1)

April is National Poetry Month and Time is featuring Poets: The Second Chance - TIME.

I'm a bit busy doing some stuff so updating my blog seems a little difficult now but since it's Poetry month I decided to posts more poems and shut up for awhile on my ramblings though I've managed to dig in my treasure box or rather chaotic garbage room and I've found a lot of things that inspire me to blog and blog but getting random and gazillions of ideas is making it more impossible for me to write something sensible or even decent. IDEA-lin like adrenalin rush is bad for my mental health... haha. It gives me brilliant things but all turned into waste in the end because I can't just seem to pull it off and make them whole. So I'll be leaving this blog with one of my first poems describing myself as of that moment, this is a revise version. Long live the poets and sentimental fools... well, i just have to include the latter since I can classify more myself to that rather than being a poet :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am...

I am a soul living in a mortal body

having a brain that is unsuperior to all

a face that is near ordinary

dark brown chocolate eyes that always give the window to my soul

the sometimes tactless lips but often guard my wholeness.

I am a mind that isn't always thinking

and a heart that is feeling numb.

Many a time I forget I've companions

I tend to live on my own

yet I still can't...

I am one independent soul,

still I am not yet.

I am one trying hard sentimental creep

while being a total insensitive.

I'm a hell of a weirdo

that I can't understand what I am

but I am trying to be.

Tequila Aftermath

I drink too many the days before.

I drank myself each night so sure.

The days had gone like a careless breeze,

when all I know is enjoy all the space.

My lips are purple and all too simple

Bruised by the fun I’ve trampled upon

It lacks blood and I’ve made it look so bad,

leaving each stains of the fiery chains.

I stumble and vomit all the things I’ve poured in my sockets.

Twenty one years of fooling around left me all glad yet wounded.

I had enough of the things that made all the cravings

I stopped the chains and sprees, all with freewill.

What’s good about the things they say are bad?

It helps me shape the good things that I have

By showing the hideous in the other side

They made me realized what is essential for my part.

I had enough; I’ve played and live a life.

I’ve fooled around and mess a lot.

I even ruined myself to make a scratch

and made my list trim down for more certain acts.

Not everything is beautiful like not everything is forlorn;

Roses have thorns and flowers meet adversity to bloom.

If you’re the kind that wants undistorted piece of a whole that’s part a mess

I’d rather rest within the game than settle for a beautiful lame.

It’s like pouring tequila,

drinking ten consecutive shots of happiness

Enjoying its perfect taste like pasta,

not accepting that next is a day of dizziness.

You’re cursing the hang ups yet wanting another stirrup cup.

Loading yesterday, throwing up today;

Having fun today while hoping to learn someday;

Messing your way and clearing up comes payday.

What's Your Fascination Triggers?

by kris10na ☮♥☺ Thoughts (0)

" The more accurately you identify your personality triggers, and the more intelligently you hone them, the more influential your message becomes. In the battle to fascinate consumers, brands apply triggers, too. Volvo uses trust. Godiva uses lust. Fedex uses alarm. Apple Computers uses several triggers, most notably prestige and power. Triggers help companies sell products off shelves, persuade shareholders to invest, and convince key employees to stay."

I was able to stumble upon this fascination test from twitter. I think it's accurate though I was surprised that Trust is my dormant trigger, maybe my other triggers are just too dominant that it left that one so much behind. That's one thing I would like to refine and it won't be too impossible since I'm clearly on the right track doing the 3 ways to infuse it in my writings but I'm having difficulty with #1... try watch this vid and see why...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My RESULTS

MY TRIGGERS

Your primary fascination is LUST. (Nicely done, you.) Even without realizing it, you’re already instinctively applying this trigger when trying to persuade others. Your secondary trigger is MYSTIQUE, and your dormant trigger (the one you’re least likely to apply in your personality and behavior) is TRUST.

Once you understand your own unique combination of personality strengths, you can start to create more influential ideas and messages.

How to refine these natural talents for swaying opinion? Start by discovering your primary, secondary, and dormant triggers with the tabs up above, and check out the video over there on the right.

MY PRIMARY TRIGGER: LUST

So lust is your primary trigger. That means you draw people closer with a warm and open style of interaction. You’re expressive with ideas, communicate well in person, and probably have a strong creative streak. Even when you mask your emotions, you feel passionately about your opinions.
You’re intuitive with information, often making decisions based on gut instinct rather than cold intellect. While other personality types prefer facts, you’re more attuned to the nuances of attitude, design, and a certain indefinable je ne sais quoi.
Lust is a powerful form of influence because it creates irresistible messages that overcome rational resistance. When you dial up your primary trigger, you have the ability to create messages that are extremely difficult to ignore.
You’re remarkably talented in creating messages that lead to a powerful intellectual, physical, and emotional response. For instance, you like to share experiences with others, and in conversation, you draw people closer with body language and eye contact.
By applying these natural strengths to your work, you can build warmer relationships and more trusting dialogue. And by applying to your ideas, you can create messages make people say, “I want that now!”

MY SECONDARY TRIGGER: MYSTIQUE

If mystique is your secondary trigger, you’re intriguing. Very. You make people curious to learn more, because they want to find out what makes you tick. You reveal personal information carefully, if at all.
Mystique sparks an intense desire to know more, hinting at possibilities without putting it all on the table. By activating this trigger, you entice people to seek out more about your message.
Because you reveal so little, people might have trouble knowing what you’re thinking and feeling, which can come across as cold. You might benefit from sharing your ideas more openly, and giving people more ways to engage with you. And, along the way, you’ll want to avoid sneakiness or mind games. (A delicate balance to be sure, but once achieved, you’re nothing short of mesmerizing.)
Curious about your natural ability to make others curious? Mystique is delicate balance to be sure, but once achieved, you’re nothing short of mesmerizing.

MY DORMANT TRIGGER: TRUST

One thing’s for sure: You’re definitely not boring.
People who score low on trust tend to be thrilling, passionate, and intuitive. They live in the moment, and rarely plan very far in advance. As a result, they can be unpredictable, impulsive, and volatile.
Of the 7 triggers, trust is the most difficult to earn, the easiest to lose, and the most valuable to hold.
Perhaps you don’t need to sway opinion through consistency. Many people and brands, especially those unconventional few who delight in immediate gratification and avant-garde style, don’t rely on trust. However, this trigger comes with many rewards, so take a look at ways to increase trust in your message, without losing the excitement and edge of your other triggers.
