Men love a good Femme Fatale.

But they do not love an ugly Femme Fatale—

So they plucked her naked,
gave her a nose job, and called her
a “mermaid” instead

{Siren}

as the day comes to an end
i never feel more at peace
than the moment right before i fall asleep
to never wake up would be the greatest release

close your eyes
breath
its the only way you'll truly be
in a place that's solely yours

all the links in my chain
are the weakest

Why does it always feel like
no one's listening
when I talk?

I’ve spent so long being my own woman,
I don’t know how to share myself anymore.

Hello, everyone
I am writing
I am sure that you have written too

Soon, the government will ask for our poems
When they forget that the medical reports
Are too difficult to read
When they realize it is too late, our poem will live

Maybe there was a time,
when roses had no thorns.
Just like we did before.
Now, we guard ourselves,
just like the roses do.

to me,
you are
an art

                              to you,
                              I was
                              a tragedy
