F At the touch of love EVERYONE becomes a poet; / / The poems that I write usually do with my personal life, and I have found that poetry is the best way to express my feelings, / ENJOY!
Our love was like a rose At first it was lovingly cared for and vibrant But over time we both began to neglect it It began to wilt Our hatred caused it to wilt And once it started to die there was no going back It could not be renewed Just like our love Though the rose was still vibrant in color And still smelled sweet You could see how fragile it had became As if at any moment it would break and fall apart Like any kind of neglect would cause the petals to crumble But although this rose-our love was nearly dead We continued on as if everything was okay Because we was so used to seeing the beauty We refused to agonize the ugliness it now possessed

Listen up This goes out to all of you I just wanna bring up the things that I've been through First off I am multi cultural Meaning that I am part of many things, but I don't belong at all Secondly. I'm a Female. How about you sit and listen to what it entails.... A young girl, driven by dreams Only to be brought down by men with low esteem But hey, what can I do? What i'm saying is that if I don't give in than it's an issue Oh no! Did I just say something wrong? How about I change the subject, so that I don't prolong Anyways, what was I saying? Let's talk about the anger and hate people are displaying Wait, is that too much for you to handle Maybe I should stop before the president declares this a 'scandal' Whoops. There I go again I know that ya'll are waiting for this **** to end But hey, it can't. Because this is the truth And I'm sorry that you heard it, from a troubled youth.

It ***** to have a crush on someone. And you know that you can't have him or her. But you still have the butterflies when you hear their name. And you look at them whenever you can hoping to see them looking too. Yet you know that they will never feel the same way as you. But as you look at that person you just know. Maybe that's why it's a crush. Yeah it ***** A lot.

To be a girl it means that you are frail, right? That can’t possibly understand a thing To be a girl it means you stay up day and night Trying to get that big, shiny ring But that’s not true, for a majority that is We have a secret passed down from mother to daughter The secret is that we pretend to be his But our hearts belong to one and another At age 6 being a girl meant you liked pink and played with dolls But that changed At age 8 being a girl meant you liked skirts, dresses, bows That changed too At age 10 being a girl meant that you were expected to have a crush & kiss him If you didn’t, you were an outcast At age 12 your interest in education was to diminish By age 14 you realized that when a boy slapped your *** you enjoyed it And if you didn’t you were a lesbian Ages 12-18 we as girls are told to not show shoulders, knees or skin of any kind because it might distract the boys I never heard the guys being told to dress a certain way. Have you? No? I didn’t think so because it might ruin their ego… Being a girl means that you are blessed with self hate It’s automatic and hard to lose There is always an imperfection… Being a girl means that even when it’s hot, you wear jeans and a baggy tee So that you don’t have to deal with wondering eyes Being a girl means that you must look your best ALWAYS or else you’re trash But not too good or else you’re a **** looking for a good time Being a girl means that you grow to hate yourself so much that you can’t even look at yourself Unless you are in public, then you have to act vain Being a girl means that you have to listen to guys calling you fake because you hate a girl but you’re friends with her the next day What those guys don’t know is that she saved you from a situation that could’ve made you lose what little dignity you have left Being a girl means that when you see a grown man starring at a baby… ...you take that baby’s spot If that means you have to be his princess, babygirl, WHATEVER, for the night YOU DO IT. And when you are called a ***** **** the next day, just remember that you helped that child Being a girl means that when you’re a mother and your little girl asks you why the boys at the school rate the girls on a scale of 1-10 you have to look at her with the same look your mother gave you and tell her, That being a girl means that you have to be smart, that you have to work 2-3 jobs just to make the same as a guy with 1 job       It’s not fair, but that is how it is.   You have to hug your baby girl when she comes home and tells you that her teacher yelled at her for wearing a tanktop or when a boy touches her even when she told him to stop To be be a girl means that your are strong To be a girl means that you are resilient To be a girl means that you have a secret that is passed down from mother to daughter And that secret is Unity

You were the Sun And I was the Moon Silently wishing to be the World so that I could feel your warmth Even though I was surrounded by the Stars I couldn't help but feel lonely Counting down the days when we would pass by each other And pushing myself to eclipse with you I felt so useless Like I was nothing And felt hurt by the things your world spat at me I would try to disappear but kept coming back because I didn't want to lose your warmth I need your warmth Without you I would lose my glow Without you I would not be the Moon It's scary to know that I have to depend on you when you don't have to depend on me Why can't I be your World Why can't you love me You were the Sun And I was your Moon But you belonged to your World
