Ramata
I stretched myself to reach the length of the earth Ripped and tore my hamstrings Dislocated my joints to wrap around the earth Felt so big I knew I was the beginning and end Let my tears fertilize the soils I gave birth to spring And let the moon baptize my son I looked around and asked for the world to remember me Beyond Nefertiti, I am the woman who washed her feet I too am worth being celebrated

Unseen Women
Molting Time and time again I wonder what change would feel like Maybe my body wouldn’t feel like a shell I wonder if I could leave the pain with this body When I shed my skin does the trauma go with it Molting Would I feel new again I wonder if I would like this new body This new skin Free from scars and sores from 2010 Maybe the mind would be new too Molting Thinking of molting Molting the idea of me Molting the body of me I want to feel fresh I want to feel clean I want to know what it’s like to be me again Molting cause it’s necessary Surviving requires molting Molting is a necessity of survival This body is battered It’s scarred The mahjong doesn’t look so bright anymore How does black turn blue Molting Honey don’t taste sweet no more

Molting
I am angry For those that said they loved me But turned around and hurt me I am angry For thinking, I was worthy of being loved I am angry for wanting you to take every last bit of me But most of all I am angry for loving you When you barely knew my name

I am angry
Instructions on how to love a girl with anxiety Know that she is fragile, like glass her fragility produces beauty like no other she is fragile like a bubble ready to float away, aiming to burst any second But don't let her know that she is also strong she might cry but she is not weak she might scream but she is not crazy loses her breath but she sure knows what it means to be alive When she loves, it's like magic It is the taste of music the sound of touch rivers flowing she is divine your love is not her cure She is not your patient You are meant to fix her That's what you will think But you will not carpent her She cannot be fixed And she knows that Yet she still loves and lets you love her she deserves love she doesn't know that yet

How to love a girl with anxiety
This divinity does not come from within these legs The beauty you see comes from my hands Your desperate need to feel the rough patches on my skin My berry shades of scars You haven't seen me yet The nakedness of the blisters on my skin

Pain
Truth is you need protection Our love could never hold this connection Truth is you’re fading The fact that I am never around got you jaded Words that I could never express Because I’ll always be conflicted Wounds that never healed Gets directed to your spirit Making me think I’m addicted to danger Fiending for unholy attraction Suffering from a condition that was never diagnosed You’re dealing with depression You need more love Not from them but from yourself Allow yourself to be narrator Guide the story you wish to call your own Acknowledge that you need protection
