Don't overlook the rainbow
While you're focusing on the storm

Fill me up-
  Make me whole
    Laugh with me until we're old
      Hold me close-
       Don't let go
         Make me feel invincible

                I love you
             This I know
          So stay with me, you are gold
        I could not ask
     For something more
  You are what
I live for

Mothers

Moms are supposed to say they love you
Moms are supposed to care
Moms are supposed to make everything better

Why then
Does my mother hurt me
Why then
Does she not care if I hurt myself
Why
Does my mother tell me I'm not the daughter she wanted

All I need is maternal love and support
But I am lacking

...

In melancholy ambience I sit

Listening to the pitter patter of the rain on my window

Motivation has yet to find me

Tribulation has come in its place.

As I hold back tears

I say I'm fine

And move on

not done yet

16 years
but i am old
i am worn

16 years
i am tattered
i am torn

16 years
i thought was enough
but here you are
you made me tough

Face the Wind

My feet have brought me here

The lake with no bottom

The water is warm and inviting

Its surface a shield from the bitter and frigid Wind that claws at my skin

How easy it would be to succumb to the calm smooth surface

Made of fire and ice and everything nice

Instead I put on my jacket
And turn to face the Wind

Lady-like

Dont tell me I need to be a lady
I have a ******. By default, I am a lady
Your reality is skewed
If I cuss, so be it
If I sit with my legs open, so be it
If I let my hair go crazy, so be it
i do not need makeup to be pretty
i do not need need dresses to be a lady
i do not need a man telling me how to act
You see
I am a real lady
