18/F/Dallas Falling through an indigo kaleidoscope
Man, these opinions be really ******* up my mental. They don't stop me from making money just stop me from standing tall. They shouldn't matter and for years I've let them roll off my shoulders. But as a human being, hearing the same thing only makes me colder. I don't care what they say, but to my dismay, it's everything you deem unfit. The tiger stripes on my belly, the extra softness of my thighs. Things that I viewed as simple characteristics but yet these are unflattering in your eyes. The bulge of my stomach, the layer of graspable skin on my side Those are all things that I've let slip from my mind They don't stop me from soaring higher, achieving goals, or even improving my skill set. But your gaze is like daggers and your words like bullets It causes these now undesirable features to fester my soul If I dare fix them they have to gain your approval. And for those who still think that words don't matter, step off of your pedestal and let me serve you a reality platter. If the vast majority declares it outdated you drop it. If the vast majority says it's trendy you adopt it. And while it may seem easy to ignore the hype, it takes an extremely mentally strong individual to say **** it and goodbye. We would all like to believe that we're our own person. But when there is a flaw that is repeatedly critiqued, we lose sight of who we are and that's the number one lesson.

Rosie The Riveter
It's the thunder of my laugh The melody of my voice The softness of my cries That creates a world of mystery It's the way my hair flips The fullness of my lips And the way my hips dip That allows me to revel in any scene It's the thickness of my thighs The fire and desire in my eyes The purpose behind my strides All the stretch marks I try to hide That makes me a beautiful queen Physically, I may be flawed Emotionally, my heart may need to thaw Mentally, I am sometimes unstable Spiritually, I connect with the one who is able Despite my infamous name People want to play game Strong and passionate Quick-witted spitfire I award my perfect imperfections

Aphrodite
The skyline blends with the water Indistinguishable from one another A long lost muse reinvented in dusk Passion intertwined with fear Reaching for sanity, longing for reason As I came closer, it became further Stability and conformity is a state of mind Erraticism and abnormality are so easy to find

Salvation
I am disgusted with my reflection that ceases to exist. Yearning for intimate warmth only to receive cold expression. The rhythmic ***** has disintegrated within my person and all that remains is a gaping hole. Cold air seeps through but it is beyond repair. A quest to avenge my pride resulted in a domestic battle. My heart had subconsciously committed treason. No longer able to finish the mission my title lies in ruins while my soul rummages through the rubble searching for pieces of my Jane Doe. But with the heaps of ash covered ruins, how will I ever be found?

Flatline
Enter my depth. Penetrate my mind. Caress my opinions. ****** my soul. Challenge my knowledge.

Stimulation
Molded as one Passionate words grace the tongues Love escapes from one onto the other. Tender caresses and earth-shattering shudders Interlocked mouths quiet all secrets Content sighs echo The pair doesn't let go Intertwined limbs, they allow their high to subside A gentle kiss on a smooth forehead Soft gazes in between dimpled smiles Arms wrap around a soft waist and slumber overcomes them both.

Midnight Tales
Fire adorns the sky while blood stains the gravel The final horn has been blown Ships sink, buildings implode, planes nosedive Darkness walks among us Death lingers Sickness kisses my lips Free falling into a bottomless pit Fire adorns the sky while blood stains the gravel The final horn has been blown Man dies, man goes blind, man commits suicide Death lingers Sickness kisses my lips The dark winged angel caresses my shoulder Smoke dances in my lungs Fire adorns the sky while blood stains the gravel The final horn has been blown Flowers wither, trees crash, asphalt cracks Death lingers Sickness kisses my lips I dance with the man with hoofed feet An endless loop Fire adorns the sky while blood stains the gravel The final horn has been blown….

Dies Irae
The days blend together as one. Never knowing day from night because I can never see the sun. Alone in a world that cannot truly understand. One man’s failure is another man’s plan. Doubt creeps in like a thief in the night. Devouring all common sense and hope in sight. Hanging on by a thread I believe I won’t win the fight. Muster up all of my strength, push back with all of my might. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Standing on my own two feet I no longer wither. A bright light shines inside. Bursting at the seams I no longer hide. There’s something worth fighting for, there’s something worth seeing. No longer a societal mess but a worthy human being.

Strength From Within
Her caress is soothing. A true angel from up above. To be able to passionately live for another's well being. Heart-wrenching, breathtaking, stupefying love. Bright smile, almond eyes, dimpled cheeks you can’t believe what you’re seeing Simple activities just for the mere satisfaction of seeing the curl of her lips. Soft jazz and a steady beat just to see the swing of her hips.

Euphoria
That's it. It's done. "My ancestors did that not me!" Get over it, **** it up, don't you dare take a knee "I have a few black friends so its ok if I say the N word" Stabbed in the heart from injustices' sword. Another beating from a sheet and ain't a **** thing Uncle Sam is gonna do about it. Declaring that we're equal but I get the feeling that Brian has more rights then Daquan. In the eyes of the law there’s no such thing as one. Putting up walls and banning my siblings. Meanwhile Brian just put two caps in his neighbor's kid's chest. A few years max and he's still able to become free and get a check. Daquan got caught up selling coke and he's not coming home. Locked in a cage with no light he realizes he's alone. 'Bam' 'Bam' 'Pow' 'Pow' Here lies the body of John Doe, a great man who perished because of the raise of his brow.
