when I was young
my uncle was so broken
from something his daughter did
that he shot himself in the chest.
he felt that his heart was so hurt
that he should help it to shatter completely
he never once thought that
maybe he could fix the broken pieces
he just took that leap
to not feel broken anymore
I think about that a lot
how maybe someday I could take that leap too
to you know, end my pain and suffering
but then I remember
he’s still living with that pain
how if he moves an inch in the wrong direction
he becomes paralyzed with pain
and then I change my mind
because I would rather
experience this hurt now
than to live with it my entire life

Do not tell him how much he means to you
until he tells you first.
Do not break your back until he shows
he would do the same for you.
Do not come off too strong, for boys don’t like
a girl with too much confidence.
Do not even think about cursing
if you want to be considered “wife material”
Do not think of yourself as your own person
because Lord knows your husband owns you.
Do not think freely, for you do not know
right from wrong.
Do listen to every godforsaken story he has to tell,
no matter how boring it is.
Do be attentive, never assertive, always willing.
Do let him in your pants even before
those three words are spoken because men want
a woman who knows her way around a ****
Do appreciate every single thing he does for you,
even if it’s something you never wanted.
Do believe every word he says,
even if you know it’s a lie.
Do fall for all of his immaculate attempts
at explaining why you are wrong.
Do not listen to a single thing
on this stupid ******* list
if you want to fall in love.

a break up with you
would be catastrophic
the worst tsunami that there ever was
I am just not sure
how I let myself fall
so head over heels

she told me to find the one
who treats me like the royalty i am
the one who writes my name in the stars
and delivers the moon to my doorstep
she said to never let them
forget to buy me flowers
to always remember
our love should be shouted
from the rooftops
she told me to find the one
who loves me unconditionally,
and brings the world to its knees
the kind of love where
we speak within the silence
i forgot to tell her
she was my one.

I can't write poetry like I used to.
I don't live life the way I used to.
Yes, this is a good thing
And, yes, it does show that people change.
But I can't write poetry like I used to.
And nothing is more upsetting than this.

bees, I am told, are going extinct
"save the bees!" everyone proclaims
because everyone is an activist these days
and why shouldn't we protect the bees?
after all, they are just bees
looking to drink nectar
it's not as if they do harm to the flowers
they leave behind
he told me that someday he would taste
the sweet nectar of my blooming flower
and when I kindly said
**** off"
he grabbed my face
and threw me to the ground.
he left me,
wilting from the pain
and i had then learned
the difference between
the boys and the bees

I used to look to the stars
to determine our fate
But the stars that used to shine so bright
are bleak and darkened
Maybe the stars knew
that our time was limited
Turning toward the sky now,
I realize
That no matter how much time
you have
to appreciate something,
You only truly miss it once it's gone
And I guess you could say the same for people

he keeps asking
why
I don't write
about him
my dear,
my sweet darling,
it is because
you
do not cause heartache
and pain
like the others did
I do not know
how
to write
when I am in love

Brighter than the blinding flares of the sun, shimmering outward with power of thousands of stars
yet comforting
yet soft.
Filled with oceans crashing and wild, turning over ships, rushing under a powerful storm.
yet still
yet calm.
Filled with wonder and curiosity, yearning for the unknown, desperate for enlightenment
yet wise
yet content.
Eyes so wide, so deep, filled with delicate roses, the power of mighty warriors, elegant as the flowing dress of Venus, filled with souls of thousands, with passion, with yearning, with desire.
Filled with beauty
Filled with you.

love,
he told me
isn’t real
it’s for little girls
to dream about
until they fill the void
with some ********* guy
that treats them like ****
but if that’s the case,
why does he tell me
he loves me
