finally when stars come out , we all go to sleep
&
when a heart opens up , they all just walk away..

My crayon broke into two
But you know what
Now
I can share with you too .

Tears Shed
Week of Red
Heart Broken
Enduring Pain
Unfair Treatment
Torturous Cramps
Birthing Little Lives
Unspoken Thoughts
Complicated Feelings
Traditional Upbringing
Inexplainable Hormones
Swallowing Pain Relievers
Constantly Underestimated
Assigned Stereotypical Roles
Told to Listen and not to Speak
Looked Down Upon by the World

is this the end then?
when did this happen?
what led me to this place
when all i can do is rest my case
for i have no fight left in me
and all the fight has left me
thus, sit here i at this hour
caressing all my scars
counting all these stars
come have i a bit too far
and now there's no going back
everything's turning black
my sight and the night
for there's no rise of the sun anymore
just me and my mind after the before
silence and slow heart beat
a spirit mourning its defeat

i wish i could love like the sun
truly and wholeheartedly
for he burns for the one and only one
who shall never be his devotedly
she bears children he didn't make
yet he sets his life for them
only to rise again and take
a father's role from the sky's hem
he shines his light so that she can thrive
a love so profound that it hurts
because he'll give his all and survive
watching her from the outskirts
and one day when he'll be old and gray
he'll be close to her yet far away
