We get criticized for showing no personality, then we get penalized when we do.

Fickled Bits Of Info
Even though they had been accused,
Of a meddling done in others' lives.
They have now been criticized,
For not expressing or showing a concern...
Over what others do.
With a minding of their own business.
And this has a few upset.
As they go about spreading,
Fickled bits of info to stir up a pettiness.

Seeking The Spotlight
It has become so easy to criticize,
One who is effective in a doing to get done...
By those who stand aside seeking the spotlight.
But lack experience showing they know what that's like.
Since most of their time is spent,
Adjusting what is wanted on a wish list.
To change periodically as they see fit.
And not in the doing in performances that exists,
To be witnessed and known by others to have seen this...
By the one who has been criticized.

Glass Walls
Glass walls
Of the candy jar
Showing me the colors
Showing me the shapes
Just showing me...
Glass walls
Of the shopping mall
Showing me the colors
Showing me the shapes
Just showing me..
Glass walls
Of the computer screens
Showing me the colors
Showing me the smiles
Showing me the love
Even telling me... and nudging me...
It is only the glass... I can touch...!

Judgment Is the Enemy
Judgment is the enemy
Of love and friendship:
Will you judge someone you love?
Can you maintain a friendship after condemnation?
Believing one has the right
To criticize or condemn another
Is unfairness and unkindness to both the criticized
And the criticizer:
It is showing harshness to the criticized
And missing the opportunity to see oneself
In a constructive mirror for the criticizer.
When you judge another,
You lay the snare of hypocrisy for yourself:
Will you never fall into the same mistakes?
Will you never enter the same loneliness
Or place of loss confusion as the person you judge?
Will your life situations protect you forever from never stealing
Or lying or coveting? Do you have a guarantee not to be human?
Gracious Creator of mercy,
Divine Inspiration of brotherhood and sisterhood,
Let us live for the sake of friendliness and love,
Allow us to view everyone as a beautiful work in progress
As we hope people will gently view us the same.
May our eyes be open wide to see the good in others
And may we softly turn our gaze from seeing someone’s mistakes
As their defining qualities.
May we truly trust everyone’s finest moment is yet to arrive.

Letting go of the bad and showing the world who i am
I am tired of feeling hurt
I am tired of feeling used
I am tired of feeling unworth
I am letting go of you
I am letting go of pain
I am letting go of shame
I am letting go of darkness
I am letting go of bitterness
I am letting go of all the bad and only waiting for the good
I am taking in the light and coming out from underneath my hood
I will show the world my eyes and my smile
I am showing the world My laughter and ability to be wild
I am showing the world its wrong and that I will go on
I am showing the world I am in control
I am showing the world all the things i'm letting go
I am showing the world my joy and my tears
I am showing the world my screams and my fears
I am showing the world who i am and where I've been
I am showing the world all that i can
I will show the world who i am inside and out
I will show the world i don't care if its me they talk about

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.

Plastic Pity
Within some minds,
It is okay to be criticized.
And in some minds closed and confined...
What others do to them,
Is perfectly fine.
And yet there are those minds,
Behind times trying to define...
How best to belittle,
With a showing of unconsiousness...
A plastic pity that will fit,
All occasions that will suit...
A showing of a care-less-ness,
So obvious and with no regret.
With their noses in the air...
They plastic pity.
They dare to play it really fair,
With their plastic pity.
They careless who is there to spare,
With their plastic pity.
Or who lives on and in despair,
As long as they give pity.
A plastic empty pity.
With their noses in the air...
They plastic pity.
They dare to play it really fair,
With their plastic pity.
They careless who is there to spare,
With their plastic pity.
Or who lives on and in despair,
As long as they give pity.
A plastic empty pity.
And yet there are those minds,
Behind times trying to define...
How best to belittle,
With a showing of unconsiousness...
A plastic pity that will fit,
All occasions that will suit...
A showing of care-less-ness,
So obvious and with no regret.

An individual has not begun to live until he can rise above the narrow horizons of his particular individualistic concerns to the
broader concerns of all humanity. And this is one of the big problems of life, that so many people never quite get to the point of rising above self. And so they end up the tragic victims of self-centeredness. They end up the victims of distorted and disrupted personality. … These are the people who cannot face disappointments. These are the people who cannot face being defeated. These are the people who cannot face being criticized. These are the people who cannot face these many experiences of life which inevitably come because they are too centered in themselves.
