17/F/South Africa Poetry is a release. It’s how we say things that simply couldn’t be said.
You see me as your own personal object An object with a hole A hole that satisfys  your desires and cravings That trophy on the shelf or that medal on your chest that your friends claim to have but I beg to differ You are willing to push morals and values aside for this thing this object this action Is that what we’ve made *********** become ? Something that is no longer sensual ? No longer valued nor appreciated ? Something we do to be “in” and “cool” Sexualize people based on their body’s, make them feel like nothing more than objects . Objects at your disposal. I’m tired of a generation that is unable to love. We are one of the most claimed to be accepting generations but I think it’s a lie. A lie we tell ourself and each other to make us feel good or okay about shoving people into box’s and categories. Yes come out as bisexual this is a safe space but just watch out. We may say a few things behind your back. It’s sad, it’s to the point where love has no hope and no trust. It’s all down the drain. We have broken people trying to love others but it’s only making the situation worse. We crave attention from anyone and everyone just to validate that we are enough. We can’t tell ourselves or empower ourselves because we don’t believe in ourselves. We need a generation who is ambitious not destructive.

The first time I was fat shamed it didn't seem to hurt that much, Or maybe it did I was just trying to be tough. The first time I was fat shamed I stood in disbelief that someone could say something like that so brief. The words rolled out of his mouth Like he was so uncouth. I remembered that comment for days on end, like he was playing a game of pretend. Years went by without another shame, Yet that one still remained. And just the other day it happened again, I was left feeling even more ashamed. This time the words were Like a blade that left me aware , of the hurt and hatred I had taken in. Left me with the feeling like I was not thin. Whale played over and over again in my head, As I walked along to the whale noises that people said. I stayed curled up inside my bed Feeling to unwell to lift my head. I was ashamed of who I had become! I had let myself drift away. I begged people to stop And just to say hey Yet all that seemed to happen left me even more ashamed. Dear people who fat shame me today, Just know I'll remember this day. Your karma is coming Served to you on a plate. All dished in ones sins, and staked like ***** tins. She who is Karma is my best friend She will put all of this to an end. And to all the other people who are shamed ... Just remember you are not to blame. You should not think any less of yourself Because someone does not know oneself. Do not let what society thinks of you dim your self worth and shift your whole earth. You are who you are and never ever let that change. Dear people who have fat shamed me I am the queen bee Untouched and unashamed Do not let me reestablish this game!

Here’s to the boy I’ll always secretly love To the boy who carried my love like a dove So soft and flowing Made me feel as if i were glowing To the boy who’s smile I’ll never forget And to our memories I’ll never regret To the boy I loved My love for you was never a toy Everything I said and did had meaning and joy But you were the commotion... You brought joy to my life on tough days which I’d begged to stay when the mayhem came Except you where the commotion that left me destroyed Feeling like a void Unpleasant unhappy and unsatisfied I promise you I cried I hurt badly and kept it all a secret I was ashamed Embarrassed The stalker Is what you called me The boy I love left me with shattered tiny pieces Unaware of how to fix them I was numb For so many years I hid myself away To the boy I loved I forgive you
