I Want to be Human
written 5/27/21 depressive, feeling like an outsider (depression has no face)
A laugh, a smile, a tear, a shrug.
What it takes to be human.
A try, a will, an effort, some fight.
What it takes to be human.
Some care, some ties.
What it takes to be human.
A lot of fear, a lot of lies.
What it takes to be human.
Good nights, and goodbyes.
What it takes to be human.
Bits of rage, bouts of weakness.
What it takes to be human.
A thought, a sparkle, an open mind.
What it takes to be human.
Empathy, courage, strength.
What it takes to be human.
Family, friends, a few to despise.
What it takes to be human.
A plunge, a gift, love, her eyes.
What it takes to be human.

Melissa Oros
Macbre poetry. In 2013 I had an emotional breakdown. I notice now most of the inspiration comes from the darker place since then (before 2013), versus my older poetry being light, funny, passionate in love, etc.

Never Forget Charloma Drive
Not Always me, I know you can see. What a mess is she? A wit-lacking, lazy, open mind. Sometimes strange in peace and crying joy breached screams of cocky. Feelings low, our comfortable plateau. Remember a twinkle in her eye, life high on fresh free, so hungry. What do you perceive? Many merry; marry? Not she. Closing her eyes, a world spins by, too late, too busy with vanity. Delicately, piece by piece. place this mind-so puzzling-to your custom design. Down hill, spiraling through this negative fantasy, how can I be me? She's new, she's never blue around you. She's high, now why? Why?Why waste your time with...she's not me. Me? All kelly greens and sun shiny December smiles through crimson sighs. Don't question the significance of this street. She's beauty.

Spellbound (1945)
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.
