I made some poems about America; this one, recorded, is called Ramble.
Disclaimer: This work is an exploration of the contemporary American experience, reflecting on broader conditions I've witnessed across the country—themes such as misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, incel culture, radicalization, geopolitical anxieties, societal burnout, and more are explored. I don't harbor negative beliefs towards any group of people mentioned, but rather aimed to highlight perspectives that have become prominent in our polarized political climate. I hope it's enjoyed and resonates on some level.
The unfinished annotated poem for context / personal reading:

I love people who are confident and highly aware of their worth, but highly humble too and don't look down on anyone.

Sculpting Tears ~Poetry
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d make it audible
Allowing even the deaf to hear
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d paint it purple
Signifying royalty
And make all the blue disappear
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d relinquish loneliness
And mix this liquid with a prayer
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d give it an automatic reset
So that it would never be in need of repair
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I would never create it
Cold
And salty
Like
This wicked world

“Meant to Be Here” by Douglas G. Cala
Your will may be tested, but you summon strength Your heart goes untended, But the atria still pump, You soldier on in the face of much adversity, … “Meant to Be Here” by Douglas G. Cala

the coward's way out
if the fates conspire that only one of us may live, then lover, it must be you.
i will save you the grand speeches about how you are good and deserving. you are. you are. you are, but in the end, that is not the reason why.
the world may call me brave or strong or selfless but lover, you know the truth don't you?
in the end, i am only more afraid of facing a world without you than i am of facing death of facing anything.
in the end, i am only too weak to be the one left behind to pick up the pieces of a broken life a broken promise a broken heart and keep on bleeding when the blood in your heart is already dry.
i'm sorry. i'm sorry. but will you let me be selfish one last time?
can i ask you to live for me? to face what i feared most so that i might find peace in my eternal sleep with a smile upon my face?
if it is cruel of me to ask, then i beg you to forgive me. or curse my name and hate me if you must, only live.
only live, my lover so that my life and my death and all that came in between may mean something. may mean everything.
#spilled ink#poets on tumblr#poems on tumblr#writeblr#writers on tumblr#poetics#sometimes i write like some kind of possession#i had a brief thought of 'sacrifice as a selfish act?'#and then i was just like. speaking this poem to myself#out of the blue#i fixed some things from the first spoken draft obviously but#the rhythm of this feels important to me#and i'm not convinced i did the best job of linebreaking it#but it will do#The coward’s way out#why yes I did update the title a week later#this feels much cleaner#not giving away the thesis in literally the first word#Technically before the poem even starts

i’m scared that loving you is hurting me
because there is this quiet certainty
that you’ll never be proud of me
that you’ll never claim me
that you’ll never want to be claimed by me
that you’ll always be just out of grasp
that i’ll only be able to grasp you in private moments
not ones that matter
that my dad will always scare you
and that this engorged heart of mine
will surely shatter
i want you to want me
i want you to want to want to want me
i don’t want some begrudgingly made claim on my heart
i want you to call me yours and appreciate our spark

Honestly the only thing that can fix me now is a guy who keeps my picture in his wallet and smiles at it everytime he takes his wallet out.
