if you
don't want to
end up in
someone else's
poem,
then maybe
you should
start
treating
people
better
for
a
change.

- an unapologetic poet -

the only thing
required
to be
a woman
is to
identify
as one.

- period, end of story-

repeat after me:
you owe
no one
your forgiveness.

- except maybe yourself-

Love is giving someone the power to destroy you,
While trusting them not to.
Lust is the desire for their body.
Love is the desire for their soul.
You say you love me but how can a horrible disease or a blessing
Be more than an over-used word?

If the only tool you have is a hammer,
You’ll tend to see every problem as a nail.

I'm so
Pitiful at times, miserable inside
They want me to hide
How can I survive?
Change your state of mind
I should say goodbye
They want me to beg, they want me to plead, they want me to die
They just want me dead, they just want me hurt
Don't want me to live, don't want me alive
Stop with the pretending, I don't feel respected
I just feel rejected, I don't like rejection
You promise protection, I don't feel protected
I just feel neglected, how can I respect it?
I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon
Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection
Shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate
You just want perfection, I want you to just
Let me go

I went  through
one of the hardest and worst situations in my life
without anyone by my side
So don’t you dare tell me
I can’t do anything on my own.

The taste of shame smells like stubborn ***** in your hair
Lingering no matter how many times you wash it
Sometimes you have to shave yourself bald and start again
Like a newly hatched chick leaving the faint rot of broken magic
in shattered pieces behind you

I admit I throw a fit when I begin to unravel
Keep my wits, been off the grid but now I'm back in the saddle
My intent is not to rent, I like to own what I value
I could sit here on the fence or maybe pick up the paddle
I like to row against the current, that's the way that I travel
Opposite of what the grain does, got the brain of a rebel
Take initiative, I'm diligent on every level
I never could settle, I like to keep my foot on the pedal
Failing's how you grow and learn your lessons, kids
Take the worst and try to make the best of it
Because when you fail, just know that it's a test and if
You can learn to pick yourself back up again
And train your brain to not be such a pessimist
It's okay to make mistakes, just don't forget that
There's a high road but I skip the exit when I'm lost

Ignorant to my ignorance
Tell me I'm worth it, God
Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide
Intensified by living a life deprived
I'd rather be burned alive
Than go back to thinkin' I'm insignificant
Every impotent moment debated can trigger it
God is my witness definitive
Holding my head up, there isn't an innocent bone in my body
But that's what gives me the energy lacked
To renovate, have to innovate, past intimidates
Can't remain afraid

Break the ******' mirror 'cause I hate the image
Every single tear I cry is wasted liquid
guess staying in the room was a bad decision
Where are you going?
I'm feelin' alone and the world is so cold
It's hard to focus
Maybe I should ******' end it now

Loving you is a losing game.

Typical story of the king who had it all
Except for citizens who didn't want his head up on a wall
It's the typical story of the wife who couldn't quit
Being in love with such a giant *******
It's the story of the queen who could never ever think
Of any redeeming qualities a man could ever bring
