Can't he see that I am
hurting ... when I am far away  from him, doesn't it hurt him ... can't he tell when I am upset... is he not  my better  half ...
(A woman with a broken heart ).
For when I am trying to Enlarge your vision you only see my words as sharp knives.
So I grow tired  of fighting  you.
I held my words for your safety,
Sallowed them like a bitter pill.
Communication  is the key that we seem to have lost, and I stopped  looking  for the key,
For none of it felt worthy .
For I have exhausted my strength to make you recognize  my hurt.
(woman with a broken heart)

How dare you

How dare u use my low self esteem to block my vocabulary.
How dare you use my religion to judge me.
How dare you use my past to constrain my movement.
How dare you tell me that I will not amount to an ounce.
How dare you think that I need your validation.
How dare you blind me and all I can see is darkness.
How dare you limit my abilities.
How dare you let my ego take the best of me.
How dare me for listening to you
How dare you think that I need your approval or your conformations.
how dare I ?

You are your biggest enemy... and it’s only you that can stop you

Dear mother of mine

Now that I am in your shoes with different size I understand why you did what you did.
This Journey call motherhood is not an easy one, you had a lot to carry I guess that why you had to leave me behind.
Well let me tell you about her, she is a fusion of me and her dad. I wouldn’t say that I was ready for her but she was ready for me.
I asked God that “why would you let me be a parent when I have never been parented by my own parents?”
He said “you are going to parent yourself through that child, you are going to be a mother that you wanted your mother to be to you”. Well I have to say being my own mother is not easy maybe that’s why you did what you did.
As I said before i am my mother’s child not my mother

Becoming

Pillows have become my new best friend
Brushing my tongue has become my worst enemy
Water has become my way of survival
The toilet has become my second home
I have tasted the same food twice
I have become full without eating anything
The day and night have become the same thing
I have been the same person with different looks 😊
My speed has become the one of my grandmother

An Arrow

Cupid must be stupid
He been shooting arrows everywhere
I just happen to be stabbed by one
He smile and said it’s a gift

Kisses

Have someone ever kissed you
And everything around you both just stopped
The rain that was falling
Can't be heard anymore
The drops rolling down the car window paused
In that moment is just felt like
Only the two of you were the only people in the world
Time felt like it literally stopped
You felt safe, calm, happy, excited, a bundle of emotions
Your heart stopped beating yet it was all you could hear
You couldn't breathe but wished for this moment to never end
They pulled away and you were still trapped this haze
Only when you opened your eyes
The world continued
You heard the rain hitting against the car
And you guessed the drops continued rolling
Because you never took your eyes off the person
That just stopped your world but guess what
They did it again

Him

His face
The sight brings a smile to yours
His eyes
You can stare into them forever
His lips
You wish you can kiss them
His hands
You wish you can intertwine them with yours
His mind
It intrigues you
His soul
You can love it for eternity
His heart
It doesn't belong to you

#love #him #sad
