If a man screams at the top of his lungs He is making is opinion known If a woman screams at the top of her lungs She is hysterical For a woman will never be able to have her opinion known Because if she screams She is crazy But if a man screams It is normal and that he has the right to be heard While a woman must be silenced and should not be loud Sit like a lady and keep your mouth quiet. Even if you underwent a traumatic event, No one will believe you so just don't scream You are a hysterical woman He is a kind soul who would never touch a woman if she didn't want it. All this evidence adds up in our minds but in theirs, she is HYSTERICAL.

hysteria
Glancing to your left Your eyes focus on the familiar sight of your girlfriend Driving away from the sunset and toward the house you both own You pass the abandoned houses until you reach the best-looking one You take your bag from the car Step inside the home The light coming through the ceiling Familiar pets scurrying along the floor You lay your sleeping bag on the hard floor next to each other The white lead paint peels from the walls And you hold onto your future wife You look through the holes in the ceiling to the stars above you Glancing to your right there is a pile of needles The scurrying mice from before greeting you And nest in your past girlfriend's hair across the room Your girlfriend doesn't know what she has gotten herself into Until she sees the knife you have against her throat.

an unexpected turn of events- 1
A girl is ***** but wait for the punchline Except it is not a joke, And it is an actual punch Hitting her left cheek As I sit in a coffee shop, Her story is being played Through the speakers, while playing on the news Everyone giving their own opinion A couple of men sit at the table beside me The bald one states that she asked for it My eyes roll as a drop of coffee runs down my chin The one with a large mustache laughs States, "her mother was a failure." The third man ignores his ignorant friends But instead listens to the young girl's story Bald one says her clothes were too tight Mustached one states that the skirt was too short Her knees were showing Knees that are now bruised and ****** The third man states that it wasn't the FAULT OF THE GIRL But instead the FAULT of the man He states that a woman should be able to wear WHAT she pleases WHEN she pleases The bald and the mustached nod in agreement One says that her clothes aren't the problem The other says that women need RESPECT As a woman, covered head to toe walks past The men stare, except the third Because it is not the woman's fault And he understands that But it is the FAULT of men Who "cannot control it."

Men who "cannot control it."
There once was a happy girl But this happy girl disappeared around 13 When I slowly realized That when people were laughing, I was being laughed at and not laughed with That I was not good enough And that I was only going to be a joke Boys constantly reminding me that my body My body would never be good enough for them And shouldn't be good enough for myself I finally found a boy that accepted me Only to find out that, because I hated myself He believed that I would be an easy **** He left bruises behind But the bruises weren't on my skin, Instead, left on my brain Someone can touch me the wrong way now Where I feel all of the emotions Hand on my knee, hand on my thigh, Hand on my waist, hand on my stomach And I can instantly go blank Like a soulless doll *** I walk down the street I get terrified if I see someone staring Or just looking at me odd I feel like I am walking around With a target strung around my neck, Being pulled tighter on my throat I feel like I am being suffocated By my own fear

what is a happy girl
Ashes fall from the sky And as I lay on my back, They land on my body My face, torso, and legs Becoming covered Ashes of past dreams and wishes All going up in flames But that is not the end The world wants me to watch it burn Making me drag my feet As I watch everything I've loved, Fall to pieces Showing me how much everything Really means to me

Ashes and Pretty Eyes
As I lie awake in my bed, I remind myself of all my stupid mistakes How I could've avoided them and fixed the situation My mom said not to use the word "could," Because it is too late to change my past There is no point in dwelling on it But if I could go back and redo half, Knowing what I know now, maybe, just maybe, I'd be in a better position Instead of worrying that I'm not good enough And that I'll somehow be a complete mess Everything would be different But I am happy now, and I wouldn't trade that And if I went back in time and changed things, I would not be where I am now

STPD MSTKS
As I stare out in front of me, I see a beautiful creature small and fail She cannot breathe as the weight of her life is pushing on her chest And taking the breath from her ever-collapsing lungs She sees me standing near her Watching her And lifts a hand to me As I take it Her skin turns pale and her struggle for breath ends She cannot breathe For her life has been taken by stress that she did not cause Her face molds into a frown and yellow paint seeps out of every crevice And sunflowers find their way into the light Her lifeless body gives life to happiness and joy When her life was so sad And dull Her wardrobe is being packed away by men who did not even know the girl It is not their job to know But to only pack away items of no use The garments are small enough for a child But the creature herself had been alive for two decades She would not let herself eat Otherwise, no one would love her Except for the people who love sunflowers and yellow paint
