I was too kind
Because I let them disparage me
I let them insult and slander me
With no truth nor right

I was too kind
Because I let them use my kindness
I let them use my weakness
With ruthlessness and desperate eyes

I was too kind
Because I let them forget me
With my hard work and my broken soul

I was too kind
Because I let it happen
Again and again
With tears at night
And smile at daylight

But I was too cruel
To my aching heart
To my empty soul
To my throbbing head
To my weakest body
I was cruel because I was too kind

let me tell you about being in love
being in love doesn’t teach you about life
but it teaches you about being broken

it makes you sick
angry
confuse
and lonely

it makes you wonder what you did wrong in life that makes you feel this feeling
it makes you want to rip your chest and throw away your heart because that’s where it hurt the most

your heart
your heart feel the most pain because that’s where it beats when you first look into his eyes
when you felt his hand on your hand
when you listened to his pretty little lies about how much he loves you

and you love him back
so much
so much where you give everything to him
where you open your soul to him
tell him every secrets, every flaws, everything

but instead he gives you nothing
just a nod and “oh”
or maybe he never listen at all
but there you are, pouring your heart to him

but God is fair
when He took something away from you
He will replace it with something far more better
He will ensure your happiness
He will make sure it’s the right thing for you
because who knows better than He do

so my friend, if you are broken just know that God is there for you
He is testing you to see how strong you are
so be strong my friend
it’s not the end of the world
because who know
maybe your world isn’t even begin yet

a devil and an angel are both opposites, right?
are you sure?
are you really sure?
they both have too many things
that make them alike

they both have alluring smiles
that make you want
to love somebody
to hate somebody
to befriend an acquaintance
to **** an enemy

they both have beautiful wings
that make you want
to fly away
to burn everything down
to hope for something
to be disappointed when it doesn't happen

but what if they are both one?
then they do all that
they
love
hate
befriend oneanother
**** oneanother
fly to their freedom
burn to their death
have hope
and disappoint each other

and yet
we survive
as humans, you know?

Love is Forever
 Jan 2018 AH
Cece
Two lovers on opposite sides of the world.
Lover one sleeps while the other is awake,
Lover two dreams while the other works


Although they are different,
Although they are far far apart,
All they know is their love for each other.


Two lovers on opposite sides of the world.
Lover one has found out where lover two is,
Lover two has always known where the other is.


Although they have not met,
Although they have yet to talk,
All they know is their love is forever.

Two lovers on opposite sides of the world.
Lover one walks towards lover two,
Lover two follows his heart towards the other.

Although they are tired,
Although they seem to have walked forever,
All they know is their need to be together.


Two lovers on opposite sides of the world.
Lover one finds themselves alone where the other was,
Lover two is still missing a half where lover one once stood.


Although they walked towards each other,
Although they followed their hearts,
All they know is they walked different paths,
And never met along the way.


Two lovers, again on opposite sides of the world.
Lover one sobs silently into the shoulder of their invisible other,
Lover two cries silently at the absence of a lover.


Although they are missing a half,
Although they are hurting,
All they know is their love for each other.

There is a void
in my heart,
waiting for you
to fill it.
It takes
more
and
more
of me
each day,
so please,
find me
soon.
I will lose
myself
otherwise.

Shackles
 Jan 2018 AH

Bound by heavy chains,
placed in society with shackles
weighing down our wrists and ankles.

Forced to submit
to the word of ignorant, uneducated
men.

Because we are "inferior."
But we are not.
We are worth twice,
no, triple the amount
they label us as.

Because we are "weaker."
But we are not.
We function at the highest level
even with their chains holding us down.

Because we are "unstable."
But we are not.
And they know that,
but they are not ready to admit
that a woman
can be held to the same level as them.

Respect.
What we ask of them
that is most times classified
as "too much" to give.

Or they twist the word
to mean something completely different.
"Treat us like authority," they say,
"and maybe then we will treat you like humans."

They flaunt their power
while we
are bound by shackles.

And they think that
women are weak and submissive.
But together we are not.

And they will see our passion, our fire,
burn through the chains
they have placed
to bind us to their rules.

One day we will be free
from the shackles that hold us down.
And I hope that you,
whether you take this as a threat,
or you find this empowering,
know that too.
