The essence
Of woman empowerment
Should not be to equip her
To compete or reach
The status of a man

It is bringing her
To the point
Where her works
Are impacting and noticeable
And ultimately
Being able to impart knowledge
To the next generation of females
Peaceful.
Tune
out.
Turn
off.
Walk away.
Visit
serenity.
Walk
the
woods.
Kayak
the pond.
Enjoy
the ocean.
Leave
technology
behind.
Sounds
of silence.
Cleansing
the mind,
easing
the soul.
Scraping
off the
crud.
Cleaning
soiled
fragments
from
the being.
Calming the
din.
Smoothing
the frayed
edges of
this place.
This time.
Teasing
sanity back.
Back from
the abyss.
Back
to a
calmer
state.
Keep from
losing
stable
ground.
Shake out
the toxic.
Follow
the light,
the sounds.
Quiet
scenes.
Offset the
crazies.
Find
peaceful
places
to rest.
i felt your hand wrapped around my arm
it was dark
you didn't know it was me
but all i could think about
was that it was you
WOW I have not written a poem since FOREVER ago but I am back with a lot of motivation :)
they crunch under my feet
because however hard i try,
i will never keep them in tact
Money may not
grow on trees
But far too many people
are willing to go
out on a limb for it
no one loves me
but they claim they care
if they really did wouldn't they see

i am falling apart
fragile to the touch
yet they keep on pushing me

closer to the edge
and they think i can take more
so they push farther till i'm at the brink

it's like they know i can't swim
but they are going overboard
and they'll be suprised when i sink
I wanted to run when you fractured my heart
And yet I stayed
clinging onto hope
Years went on
I slowly lost parts of me
you kept trying your hardest
But you couldn’t see
I wanted out
To save you
To save me
I couldn’t persist
I couldn’t reconcile
Sadness crept into my heart
Into my smile
Into every part of me
Yet you still looked at me lovingly
Then painfully
Gradually feelings die
Overwhelming sorrow
I pushed you away
Now alone
Apart
It’s over
Your fingers slip through mine
And You finally let go
This was what I wanted –
Was it not?
Didn’t want to see you anymore
But you and your beauty are all I see
Tears fall down my face
I let you go
And she was left to cry,
All the tears he refused to…
East Jerusalem
Is Palestinian.
Israel, which annexed East Jerusalem in 1980,
Everyone should support Palestine over EVIL THE DEVIL
